Distribution

Regions of the Russian Federation: Seaside. [3].
In Primorye, known only 2 kinds of permanent colonies in the territory of the Ussuri Nature Reserve (in the river valleys and Komarovka Suvorovka).View similar biologically to Celastrina filipjevi, they occur in the same habitats - in lowland mixed forests and scrub along the river banks in the sand and gravel deposits, where it grows fodder plant caterpillars.
Outside the Russian Federation: the North-Eastern, Central and Southern China, and Korea. [96].

Imago Habitus and Differences from alike species

Length of front wing 15-17 mm. Male top violet-blue with a narrow black margin. The female black edge pattern expanded fringe, especially near the top of the wing, which continues along the costal margin. On the underside is light gray, with a blue plaque at the root.On the front and rear wings of pronounced black picture: discal touches the outside and sometimes podkraevoy number of points [8].

General info about Imago

Females fly in July and lay eggs in the adult bushes on thin twigs, young - around the trunks. [96].

Imago lifespan

Butterfly marked the end of May to early September, but are most common in July. The number of generations per year is not set. There are suggestions on the development in a generation or two, and even three generations incomplete. [98].

General info about Larva

Tracks are displayed in the second decade of April. Caterpillars eat leaves of the last age, so that from it remains a part of the midrib of the leaf blade at the top. [96].
Caterpillar whitish, with narrow brown dorsal line on either side of which usually are two even more narrow dark lines. Body covered with light hairs. Along the edges of the back, they are longer as a fringe. [98].

Larva food plants / other food objects

Shrub ploskosemyannik Chinese = Prinsep Chinese (Princepia chinensis), and Prinsepia scandens, Eurya strigillosa, Eurya acuminata, Eurya groffii. [9].

Pupa

Pupation takes place in the surface litter [96].
Dolly length of 9-10 mm. in rare light-colored hairs. Her head end and wing buds smoky spotted dark brown, abdomen cream [98].

Egg

The clutch 1 is rarely 2-3 eggs [96].
Eggs are relatively large, a diameter of 0.9 mm, white, ribbed. [98].

Overwintering stage

Eggs winter [96].

Yuri, the page description on the website (ideally) is composed of several sub-blocks: the system, the formal features (those in which either now or in the bright future can be selected species, such as the flight of time, fixed in months)full infa indicating sources and an optional description in the free form (the latter is now available only as "Old describe Lepidoptera.ru». And the algorithm of the ideal is: the Old people are making through the link "Add information ..."With the obligatory indication of the sources, but highly desirable in this case is not just rewrite / copy-paste the data from the source and write in your own words what you think is necessary.Further modernizing (and for the time being only the administrator) on the basis of these data, enter values for the formal characteristics of selection and write a brief description in a free form, if necessary. Thus, Comes communism: there are brief details top of the page, easy-to-view, as well as for the selection of species, there are deployed infa sources make it clear, on the basis of which introduced the characteristic values and there is a description that the formal features not vnesesh, but would like to to separate the sheets from the data sources (e.g.,The main differences from the neighboring species, or fundamental, what is interesting in this video).
The system has a disadvantage for the time being, that makes people a little something in the data section of the data sources and the slow transition to the grounds. Boom hope this will change with time, the very same system, in my opinion, correct.
