Interesting part of the world to pay a visit to, Edward.
I'm not sure if there are any eastern forms of the butterflies, but the ones you have put question marks against appear, to me at least, to resemble the following:
#1 Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary
#2 Agree with Mazarine Blue
#3 Agree with Amanda's Blue
#4 False Heath Fritillary

Thanks David, I was there for work so didn't get us much time butterflying as I'd like. But it was pretty amazing - corncrakes keeping me up at night in the meadows around the hotel, and fresh bear signs in the woods less than 1km away.

Not sure if I'm too enthusiastic about the bears, Edward, but corncrakes and lots of butterflies sounds pretty idyllic to me! Seems like you had a good 'working' trip?
