''Hypolimnas dinarcha'', the Large Variable Diadem or Large Variable Eggfly, is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of Congo, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.〔(Afrotropical Butterflies: Nymphalidae - Tribe Junoniini )〕 The habitat consists of heavy lowland forests and secondary forests with a closed canopy. Adult males mud-puddle and are also occasionally attracted to fermented fruit and animal droppings. There are two colour morphs. The light morph may be a mimic of a day-flying moth, while the dark morph appears to be a mimic of ''Amauris vashti''. The larvae feed on ''Fleurya'' species. ==Subspecies== *''Hypolimnas chapmani dinarcha'' (Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Angola: Cabinda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic) *''Hypolimnas chapmani grandis'' Rothschild, 1918 (Uganda, western Kenya, north-western Tanzania) 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「Hypolimnas dinarcha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
