''Pyrgus melotis'', the Aegean skipper, is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1832. It is found in the Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Asia Minor, Greece and the Middle East.〔(Pyrgus at funet )〕 The habitat consists of grasslands and slopes. The length of the forewings is 11–15 mm. It is characterized by the underside of the hindwings, which is cream-coloured, thus obscuring the markings; the spots on the upperside, especially those of the forewings, are generally large and square.〔(Superspecies Pyrgus malvae (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) in the east Mediterranean, with notes on phylogenetic and biological relationships )〕 Adults are on wing from April to June and again from July to September in two or sometimes three generations per year. Larvae have been recorded feeding on ''Rubus'' species.〔(Russian Insects )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Pyrgus melotis melotis'' *''Pyrgus melotis ponticus'' Reverdin, 1914 (Caucasus, Transcaucasia) 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「Pyrgus melotis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
