The Southern Broken Dash (''Wallengrenia otho'') is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found from eastern Texas and the south-eastern United States, south through the West Indies and Central America to Argentina. Strays can be found as far north as central Missouri, northern Kentucky and Delaware. The wingspan is 24–35 mm. Adults are on wing from April to October in two generations (sometimes a partial third) in most of North America. In peninsular Florida and southern Texas, adults are on wing all year round. The larvae feed on ''Paspalum'' species and ''Stenotaphrum secundatum''. Adults feed on the nectar from flowers including Pickerelweed, Selfheal and Sweet pepperbush. ==Subspecies== *''Wallengrenia otho otho'' (Georgia to Mexico and Brazil (Amazonas)) *''Wallengrenia otho drury'' (Latreille, ()) (Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico) *''Wallengrenia otho clavus'' (Erichson, 1848) (Mexico to Brazil, Trinidad, Guyana, Surinam, Venezuela) *''Wallengrenia otho misera'' (Lucas, 1857) (Cuba, Bahamas, Honduras) *''Wallengrenia otho ophites'' (Mabille, 1878) (Antilles, Dominica) *''Wallengrenia otho vesuria'' (Plötz, 1882) (Jamaica) *''Wallengrenia otho sapuca'' Evans, 1955 (Paraguay) 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「Wallengrenia otho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
