    It is Ochlodes & probably O. venata.

    Two species formerly considered as one, ie O. venata occur in Europe & Temperate Asia.
    The western population is now O. sylvanus, but wide overlap of the 2 species in distribution probably central Asia.
    Examples of O. venata in Europe are O. sylvanus.

    As stated in the text below O. sylvanus have the HW underside greenish & veins not contrasting.
