Melitaea ornata (Melitaea telona) is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Its common name is Jerusalem fritillary. The species rank of Melitaea ornata (type location Guberlya, Russia) was only very recently recognised in two publications by Russell, et al. in 2005 and 2007. The taxonomy of the ’Melitaea phoebe’ group has been revised by Tóth & Varga (2011). According to these results M. telona Fruhstorfer, 1908 is conspecific with M. ‘phoebe’ ornata Christoph, 1893. Thus, M. telona considered a junior synonym of M. ornata.
