The Angled Castor (''Ariadne ariadne'') is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in Asia. == Description == : ''See glossary of Lepidopteran terms for terminology used'' This butterfly is orange brown with wavy lines running across. The margin is somewhat wavy and appearing truncated at the apex of the forewing. The margin is wavy with a large angle present on the fifth vein interspace and at the tip of vein three. The tornus is broadly angulate. The hind wing termen is deeply scalloped. There is a prominent white spot towards the apex of the forewing. The cilia are white, alternated with brown. On the underside there is more brown. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen ochraceous rufous. Males have a series of dark shining scales (androconia) on the subcostal vein, veins 6 and 7 and a patch on the underside of the forewing towards the base. Females look similar but are slightly paler and lacking the androconial scales.〔Bingham, C.T. (1905). ''Fauna of British India. Butterflies.'' Volume 1.〕 ''Ariadne ariadne'' bears much resemblance to ''Ariadne merione'', the Common Castor, but in the Angled Castor, the transverse chestnut bands are narrower and less diffuse. The margins of the Common Castor are less wavy. 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「Ariadne ariadne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
