The Lesser Madder Hawkmoth (''Rethera brandti'') is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is found from south-eastern Turkey and north-eastern Iraq to southern Iran along the Zagros Mountains and then into western Pakistan. It is also present in the Alborz and Kopet Dag Mountains of northern Iran. The habitat of ssp. ''brandti'' consists of sparsely vegetated slopes up to 2,000 meters, while the habitat of ssp. ''euteles'' consists of hilly steppe and desert-edge vegetation between 1,500 and 2,500 meters altitude. The wingspan is 40–46 mm. Adults of ssp. ''brandti'' are on from April mid May in one generation per year. Adults of ssp. ''euteles'' are on wing from late March to mid May depending on the altitude in one or two generations per year. The larvae probably feed on ''Galium'' species. ==Subspecies== *''Rethera brandti brandti'' (Alborz and Kopet Dag Mountains of northern Iran) *''Rethera brandti euteles'' Jordan, 1937 (south-eastern Turkey and north-eastern Iraq to southern Iran along the Zagros Mountains and then into western Pakistan) 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「Rethera brandti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
