The holly blue (''Celastrina argiolus'')〔( Card for ''argiolus'' in LepIndex. Accessed 14 October 2006. )〕 is a butterfly that belongs to the Lycaenids or blues family and is native to Eurasia and North America. The holly blue has pale silver-blue wings spotted with pale ivory dots. In Europe, the first generation feeds mainly on holly ''(Ilex aquifolium)'' but the second generation uses a range of foodplants.〔(Butterfly Conservation A-Z of butterflies )〕 ==Taxonomy== This species was originally described as ''Papilio argiolus'' by Linnaeus in 1758, and refers to the examples flying in Europe. In their monograph on the ''Lycaenopsis'' group of polyommatine genera, Eliot & Kawazoe, 1983, list 14 taxa as valid subspecies names, plus many further synonyms to which they accord lesser status. According to Eliot & Kawazoe, 1983, these 14 subspecies are divided into four groups as follows: ;The ''argiolus'' group Palaearctic & N. African *''C. a. argiolus'' *''C. a. bieneri'' *''C. a. hypoleuca'' :=''paraleuca'' Rober *''C. a. mauretanica'' :=''algirica'' Oberthur ;The ''kollari'' group South and South-East Asian *''C. a. iynteana'' :=''sikkima'' Moore :=''victoria'' Swinhoe :=''herophilus'' Fruhstorfer :=''cition'' Fruhstorfer :=''bothrinoides'' Chapman :=''puspargiolus'' Chapman :=''albocaeruloides'' Chapman *''C. a. kollari'' :=''kasmira'' Moore :=''coelestina'' Kollar :=''trita'' Swinhoe ;The ''ladonides'' group Far Eastern *''C. a. caphis'' :=''crimissa'' Fruhstorfer *''C. a. ladonides'' :=levettii'' Butler :=''sachalinensis'' Esaki :=''heringi'' Kardakoff *''C. a. sugurui'' ;The ''ladon'' group North and Central American *''C. a. cinerea'' :=''arizonensis'' Edwards *''C. a. echo'' *''C. a. gozora'' *''C. a. ladon'' :=''pseudargiolus'' Boisduval :=''violacea'' Edwards :=''neglectamajor'' Tutt *''C. a. lucia'' :=''neglecta'' Edwards :=''marginata'' Edwards :=''argentata'' Fletcher 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「Holly blue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
