Biology:Glabroculus
From HandWiki
Glabroculus is a Palearctic genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It contains two described species.[1] The larvae of Glabroculus are associated with plants of the family Limoniaceae.[1]
- Glabroculus cyane (Eversmann, 1837) Urals, Turan, Tian-Shan, Ghissar, Darvaz, Pamirs-Alai, Saur, Tarbagatai, South Altai, Transbaikalia, Mongolia.
- Glabroculus elvira (Eversmann, 1854) Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan.
Classification
Glabroculus was originally described by Lvovsky in 1993 as a subgenus of Polyommatus.[3] Subsequent molecular phylogenetic studies confirmed that Glabroculus does not belong within Polyommatus, and it is treated as a distinct genus. Elviria Zhdanko, 1994, listed as a synonym in the article, was also included by some authors within Polyommatus before the molecular evidence clarified its placement.[3]
