Melanargia titea, the Levantine marbled white, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.
It is found in Syria, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories, Israel, Armenia, Lebanon, Iran and Turkey.
The wingspan is about 55 mm. Adults are on wing from April to June.[1]
The larvae feed on Gramineae and Poaceae species.
Recent research suggest Melanargia titea is in fact a subspecies of Melanargia larissa, while Melanargia titea wiskotti is raised to full-species rank.[2]
