The orange ringlet (''Hypocysta adiante'') is a species of butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is found in Australia, including Queensland, New South Wales, the Northern Territory and the north of Western Australia.〔(Australian Insects )〕 The wingspan is about 30 mm. Adults have orange-brown wings, shading to dark brown at the margins. There is an eye-spot on each hindwing. The underside is similar to the upperside, but there are two eyespots on each hindwing. The larvae feed on various Poaceae species, including ''Digitaria didactyla'', ''Imperata cylindrica'' and ''Themeda triandra''. They are pinkish-brown with dark longitudinal stripes. They tend to rest on a stem or leaf at the base of their food plant. Full-grown larvae are about 20 mm long. Pupation takes place in a mottled brown pupa which is attached to the food plant. ==Subspecies== *''Hypocysta adiante adiante'' (Torres Strait Islands, Cape York to Sydney) *''Hypocysta adiante antirius'' Butler, 1868 (Darwin region) 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「Hypocysta adiante」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
