Notes  
(1) List of the taxa found in the Western Palearctic: Leptidea morsei major Grund, 1905.  
(2) List of the taxa not found in the Western Palearctic: Leptidea morsei morsei (Fenton, 1882) ; L. morsei tsinlingi Bang-Haas, 1927 ; …  
(3) Two publications from 1882 compete for priority: Leucophasia morsei Fenton, 1882 and Leptosia morsei Fenton, [1882]. There is therefore considerable uncertainty regarding the actual distribution dates of these works. The approach adopted here is to follow Bozano et al. (2016), the most recent monograph treating the Dismorphiinae of the Palaearctic fauna.
