The cinquefoil skipper (''Pyrgus cirsii'') is a species of skipper (family Hesperiidae). It has a scattered distribution in central and southern Europe, and several isolated populations in North-eastern Turkey and in Armenia.〔Butterfly Conservation Armenia http://www.butterfly-conservation-armenia.org/pyrgus-cirsii.html〕 This species has a wingspan of 26–28 mm and, typically of its genus, can be very difficult to identify in the field. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Carline skipper (''P.carlinae'') as the two are known to interbreed where their ranges overlap in the Alps but can usually be recognised by the prominent squarish, rather than c-shaped, white spot near the costa of the forewing and the usually deeper red-brown underwings. The cinquefoil skipper flies in July and August. The larval food plant is spring cinquefoil. ==External links== *(European Butterflies and Moths ) *(Fauna Europaea ) *(Guy Padfield's European Butterfly Page ) *(Lepiforum.de ) 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「Cinquefoil skipper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
