Morphological characters of value in distinguishing Melitaea phoebe from M. ornata are exemplified from photographs of specimens from sympatric and partially synchronic populations in the Russian Federation and Slovenia. Type material of a number of subspecies classified as M. phoebe have been examined and confirmed as being subspecies of M. phoebe or as subspecies of either M. ornata or M. telona. Larval and adult morphology of M. telona is very similar to those of M. ornata, making morphological separation difficult. Distribution of M. telona forms a major criterion for separation. Lectotypes are designated for amanica Rebel, 1917 and dorae Graves, 1925. The name enoch Higgins, 1941 is recognised as a distinct species and the names abbas Gross Ebert, 1975 and zagrosi Tth Varga, 2011 synonymised with Melitaea enoch.
从俄罗斯联邦和斯洛文尼亚同域和部分同期种群的标本照片中举例说明了在区分 Phoebe 亚种和 ornata 亚种时具有价值的形态特征。已经检查了许多被归类为 Phoebe 亚种的模式标本，并确认它们是 Phoebe 亚种，或者是 ornata 亚种或 telona 亚种。telona 的幼虫和成虫形态与 ornata 非常相似，使得形态分离变得困难。telona 的分布是分离的主要标准。为 amanica Rebel，1917 和 dorae Graves，1925 指定了选模式标本。enoch Higgins，1941 的名称被确认为一个独特的物种，而名称 abbas Gross Ebert，1975 和 zagrosi Tth Varga，2011 与 Melitaea enoch 同义。
