Erebia iranica is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic (Caucasus North Iran, Turkey) that belongs to the browns family. E. iranica Gr.-Grsh. was described as a forma of Erebia tyndarus from North Persia. It is often smaller than the nymotypical form of tyndarus, the band of the fore- and hindwing being rather bright russet-red. The subapical ocelli of the forewing are large and bear bright white pupils.[2]
