Hi Sergey,
I'm no 'expert' on the European Lycaenidae but I think your icarus are in fact specimens of the Southern Brown Argus (Aricia cramera), or something very similar that occurs in your region; maybe Aricia artaxerxes allous. Also, is it possible that your daplidice might be edusa?
I'll now wait to be shot down in flames ...
Good hunting.
Kind regards. Mark
