Description from Seitz

Forewing sulphur yellow: the veins and lines deep rosy purple; a rosy sinuous median shade passing over the discocellular; an outer and a submarginal line, the latter not reaching costa: a fine dark purple terminal line; fringe sulphur yellow; hindwing suffused with blackish fuscous, with darker veins and submarginal band, wholly blackish in female; the fringe white; occurring in S. E. Europe only, Servia, Bulgaria, S. Russia, the Caucasus, Armenia, Asia Minor, and N. Kurdistan; the form described as prazanoffzkyi Guen. (46 h) from Amasia is much paler in both wings, with all the rosy tints much reduced : the underside pale instead of purplish fuscous. — Larva dull green or violet red dorsal line very faint; subdorsal pale, slender, interrupted at the segmental incisions; lateral lines broader, the reddish spiracles placed on their upper margin; tubercles black; head black brown; thoracic plate yellowish: feeding on Dictamnus and Salvia.[1]

gollark: No, I mean the performance could be improved.
gollark: It calls that in a loop.
gollark: Maybe the weighted random implementation is bad?
gollark: ```javascript constructor(data){ switch (typeof data){ case "number": this.weights={}; this.order=data; this.starters={}; break; case "object": this.weights=data.weights; this.starters=data.starters; this.order=data.order; break; } }```Wow, this is giving me a great impression wrt. code quality.
gollark: Perhaps the markov chain implementation can be improved. On the other hand, heavpoot wrote it.
