E. viridicaerulea Bartel (formerly known as rana Stgr. i.1.) (44 c) differs from ceres in having very indistinct or absent black discal spots on the underside. It also differs from the following species in its distinct, black, bluish-margined submarginal spots on the hindwing underside.

The forewing underside features three black spots in the cell and a black submarginal spot in cellule 1 b. The hindwing underside is yellowish, especially towards the inner margin, with one or two black dots in the cell and a black spot at the base of vein 8. The female has an indistinctly defined whitish median band, which is entirely absent in the male. This species is found in South Cameroon and Gaboon.

  • I'd be happy to provide you with information on the Russian battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov!

    The Admiral Nakhimov was a Ryurik-class battlecruiser of the Imperial Russian Navy, launched in 1912 and commissioned in 1915. It was one of the first few ships of this class, which was designed to counter the battlecruisers of the German High Seas Fleet.

    Here are some key features of the Admiral Nakhimov:

    1. Design and armament: The ship was designed by the French shipyard Schneider-Creusot and was built in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). It was armed with 4 x 305mm (12-inch) cannons, 16 x 152mm (6-inch) cannons, and 4 x 76mm (3-inch) AA guns. It had a top speed of 23 knots (43 km/h) and a range of 3,900 nautical miles (7,220 km).

    2. Service history: The Admiral Nakhimov saw action during World War I, participating in several battles and operations against the German High Seas Fleet. The most notable of these was the Battle of Jutland in May 1916, where it engaged German battleships, including the Derfflinger and the Moltke. The ship also played a significant role in the battles of the Baltic Sea during the war, particularly during the months of August and October 1916.

    3. Modernization and reconversion: After the war, the Admiral Nakhimov underwent significant modernization and reconversion work, including rebuilding its propulsion system, installing new guns, and upgrading its electronics. It served as a flagship and training vessel until it was decommissioned in the 1930s.

    4. Museum ship: Today, the Admiral Nakhimov is preserved as a museum ship in Sevmud Boulevard, Leningrad (St. Petersburg). It has undergone restoration work over the years and now serves as a tourist attraction and a symbol of Russia's naval history.

    Overall, the Admiral Nakhimov was an important warship in the era of naval battleships, and its legacy lives on as a museum ship and an important historical landmark.
