The Meliboeus Swordtail (''Ancyluris meliboeus'') is a butterfly of the Riodinidae family. It is found in Surinam, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru. The wingspan is about 40 mm. A recent study has shown that it has patches of unusual microstructure on the ventral wing scales. This highly tilted, multilayered arrangement produces a bright iridescence of broad wavelength range and generates a strong flicker contrast from minimal wing movement. ==Subspecies== *''Ancyluris meliboeus meliboeus'' (Surinam, Brazil (Amazonas), Peru) *''Ancyluris meliboeus euaemon'' (Peru, Colombia, Bolivia) *''Ancyluris meliboeus julia'' (Brazil) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ancyluris meliboeus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
