Boisduval's Blue (''Aricia icarioides'') is a butterfly of the Lycaenidae family found in North America. ''A. icarioides'' has been classified in at least four different genera since it was named by Boisduval in 1852. It started out in ''Lycaena'', was transferred to ''Icaricia'' by Nabokov (Hodges ''et al''., 1983), moved to ''Aricia'' by Bálint and Johnson (1997), merged with some other genera in the supergenus ''Plebejus'' by Gorbunov (2001), which was accepted by Opler & Warren (2003), however, Lamas (2004) among others use ''Aricia''. Synonymy, subgenera, and subspecies vary considerably depending on the author. Their range extends throughout the western US and Canada from southern Saskatchewan to British Columbia.〔 Larvae feed on species of lupines (''Lupinus'').〔 Wingspan: 21 to 32 mm.〔(Boisduval's Blue ), Butterflies of Canada〕 ==Similar species== *Greenish Blue (''Aricia saepiolus'') *Silvery Blue (''Glaucopsyche lygdamus'') 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「Aricia icarioides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
