M. phoebe capreola Varga, 1967

[TL: Ukraine, Kiverce, Podalia], Varga et al. (2005) placed this taxon with M. ogygia Fruhstorfer, 1908 following which Tóth et al. (2013) placed it with M. ornata . Russell & Tennent (2016: 45, note 21) were in agreement with the latter association, as are the present authors.
