Bicyclus subtilisurae ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من wikipedia EN

Bicyclus subtilisurae is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is usually found at high altitudes (1000 m) in the Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and north‐western Tanzania (Minziro Forest).[1]

Description

This species' wings are uniformly dark brown in both sexes, with a typical wingspan of 27 mm. The forewings have a small apical eyespot surrounded by a faint orange ring.[1]

Etymology

The valves of the male genitalia are thought to resemble a stylistic depiction of a woman's legs and feet; thus the butterfly's Latin name is derived from the feminine form of the words ‘slender legs’.[1]
