''Antanartia'', commonly called (African) Admirals, is a genus in the Nymphalidae family found in southern Africa. They live along forest edges and are strongly attracted to rotting fruit and plant juices.〔Woodhall, Steve. Field Guide to Butterflies of South Africa. Cape Town:Struik Publishers, 2005.〕 For other Admirals see genus, ''Vanessa''. Recently, three species traditionally considered to be members of ''Antanartia'' have been moved to ''Vanessa'' based on molecular evidence. ''Antanartia borbonica'' was not sampled by the study, but was purported to belong in ''Antanartia'' based on morphological similarity. ==Species== There are 3 species following Wahlberg et al, 2011 * ''Antanartia borbonica'' (Oberthür, 1880) * ''Antanartia delius'' (Drury, 1782) – Orange Admiral * ''Antanartia schaeneia'' (Trimen, 1879) – Long-tailed Admiral 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「Antanartia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
