The Genoveva Azure or Southern Purple Azure (''Ogyris genoveva'') is a butterfly of the Lycaenidae family. It is found in Australia. The wingspan is about 50 mm. Adult males are metallic purple, while females are black with metallic azure and a cream patch near the tip of each forewing. The larvae feed on the foliage of various Loranthaceae species, including ''Amyema'', ''Dendrophthoe'' and ''Muellerina'' species. They are flattened and brown with darker brown dots. The larvae live in the nest of ''Camponotus'' species. Pupation takes place inside this nest in a dark brown pupa of about 25 mm.〔(Australian Insects )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Ogyris genoveva genoveva'' *''Ogyris genoveva duaringa'' Bethune-Baker, 1905 (Duaringa to Milmerran) *''Ogyris genoveva gela'' Waterhouse, 1941 (New South Wales) *''Ogyris genoveva araxes'' Waterhouse & Lyell, 1914 (north-western Victoria) *''Ogyris genoveva genua'' Waterhouse, 1941 (South Australia (Mount Lofty)) *''Ogyris genoveva splendida'' Tindale, 1923 (South Australia (Flinders Ranges)) 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「Ogyris genoveva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
