Coenonympha albovenosa , Syn. Triphysa albovenosa , is a butterfly ( butterfly ) fromthe noble butterfly family (Nymphalidae) that occurs in Asia.

description

In Coenonympha albovenosa , the male has a blackish-brown-gray upper side of the wing with a white-metallic edge that is not sharply delimited from the basic color. On the underside of the hind wing there is a row of submarginal black, yellow-edged ocelles between the veins , which can also be completely absent. There is a light spot in the cell . The wings of the females are whitish gray.

Similar species

  • Coenonympha phryne ( Pallas , 1771) has a broader, more sharply defined golden border. On the underside of the hind wing, the white band is larger, but less developed.

distribution

Coenonympha albovenosa occurs northeast of the Urals , in the southern Siberian mountains, in the southern Altai , in Tuwa , Dauria (Transbaikalia), in the Amur region , northwest China, Mongolia and Korea.

habitat

Coenonympha albovenosa occurs up to an altitude of 2400 meters in steppes and mountains.

Flight time

The moths fly in May and July.

Systematics

Triphysa nervosa from Adalbert Seitz : The large butterflies of the earth, Volume 1

Coenonympha albovenosa was first described by Verschoff in 1885 as Triphysa albovenosa . Triphysa dohrnii was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in the Entomologische Zeitung in 1850 using only one specimen of unknown origin that has been lost. He named it after his friend Dohrn. Triphysa nervosa was described by Viktor Ivanovich Motschulski in 1866 . He specified Japan as the type location, but where the species does not occur. Its description is similar to the subspecies glacialis . Since both older descriptions do not meet the requirements of an initial description, the younger name is preferred by some authors.

Many authors assign Coenonympha albovenosa to the genus Triphysa consisting of two to three species , which Kodandaramaiah and Wahlberg synonymized with Coenonympha in 2009 , since the species form a clade together with Coenonympha oedippus .

Subspecies

  • glacialis Bang-Haas , 1912 occurs in the southern Siberian mountains
  • tscherskii Grum-Grschimailo 1899 comes in Magadan and, on the Chukchi Peninsula before
  • biocelata Staudinger , 1901 is known from China. Two eyes on the underside appear on the upper side of the forewings, where they appear as ocelles, which are sometimes nucleated
