The Juniper Hairstreak or Olive Hairstreak〔(''Callophrys gryneus'' ), funet.fi〕 (''Callophrys'' () ''gryneus'')〔Cech, Rich & Guy Tudor (2005). ''Butterflies of the East Coast''. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey. ISBN 0-691-09055-6〕 is a butterfly native to North America. It belongs in the family Lycaenidae. ==Description== ''For a key to the terms used see Lepidopteran glossary'' The Juniper Hairstreak has many subspecies or races, some of which may even be separate species. The upper side of the "Olive" Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus gryneus'') is tawny orange or a bronzy color in males, and blackish brown in females. The underside of the wings is bright green with a variable amount of brown scaling. There are two white postbasal spots and a white zigzag postmedian line edged inward with brown on the hind wing.〔〔Brock, Jim P. & Kenn Kaufman (2003). ''Butterflies of North America''. Houghton Mifflin, New York NY. ISBN 0-618-15312-8〕 "Sweadner's" Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus sweadneri'') is very similar to the ''gryneus'' race except the two white postbasal spots are reduced.〔 The "Siva" Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus siva'') is also similar to the ''gryneus'' race. It lacks the postbasal spots, the postmedian line is straight, and some individuals are brown. Intermediates of the ''gryneus'' and ''siva'' races occur in west Texas and New Mexico.〔〔Scott, James A. (1986). ''The Butterflies of North America''. Stanford University Press, Stanford, California. ISBN 0-8047-2013-4〕 The underside of "Nelson's" Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus nelsoni'') is brown with a violet sheen; the white postmedian line is faint, sometimes partial or absent; and the postbasal spots are lacking.〔 "Muir's" Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus muiri'') is similar to the ''nelsoni'' race except the underside of the wings are a darker brown with a purplish-greenish tint, and the postmedian line is partial to complete.〔 The underside of the "Loki" Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus loki'') is green to purplish-brown. Inward of the white postmedian line, the hind wing often has a dark band.〔 "Thorne's Juniper Hairstreak (''Callophrys gryneus thornei'') is quite similar to the ''loki'' race except it usually lacks green more often being a violet-brown to a brownish-gray color.〔 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「Callophrys gryneus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
