Hi Dima

The closest I can get (and I am fairly confident) is Eurithia connivens :) The small (yes "small" - consobrina has an even bigger one!!) triangular process on the syncercus is quite distinctive - along with the 3 post-sutural dc; 2 marginals on T4; and very narrow vertex.

I don't think I have seen connivens very often here, so it might be one of the more uncommon species but I doubt it is 'rare', as such. I usually get anthophila or consobrina in good numbers most years. :)

Best wishes,
Chris R.
