dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • Agrias is a genus of charaxine nymphalid butterflies found in South and Central America. Prized by collectors, these large, showy butterflies have had hundreds of names applied to polymorphic variants. Agrias live in the forest canopy, occasionally visiting the forest floor.
  • Agrias es un género de lepidópteros perteneciente a la familia Nymphalidae. Es originaria de Sudamérica y Centroamérica.
  • Agrias est un genre d' insectes lépidoptères de la famille des Nymphalidae et de la sous-famille des Charaxinae, tribu des Preponini.
  • Agrias er en slekt av sommerfugler som tilhører den store familien flikvinger. De er store, kraftige og fargerike sommerfugler med rask flukt som ofte holder seg oppe i trekronene. Slekten er meget formrik, men sannsynligvis avspeiler mangfoldet av former ikke tallet på arter. Fordi disse sommerfuglene er store, fargerike, formrike og dessuten gjerne vanskelige å få tak i, er de meget ettertraktet mellom samlere.

  • Agrias is a genus of charaxine nymphalid butterflies found in South and Central America. The German lepidopterist Hans Fruhstorfer had this to say "In this magnificent tropical genus, upon which nature seems to have showered all her abundance of most brilliant colours, and which is, therefore, justly called the "princely race" of the Nymphalidae, we are most surprised to meet a repetition of two genera of not less abundant colours: the Callithea and Catagramma, except that the Agrias species greatly excel the latter in size and magnificent colours, and only the males of this genus bear a sexual distinction in the shape of a hair-brush on the hindwings. Some of them, like the famous A. sardanapalus, having been first discovered by Bates in the Amazon Valley, are of an absolutely charming beauty, and the contrast of its purple-red forewings beaming through a blue lustre hued over them as if in a violet purple gloss, with the brilliantly sapphire-blue hindwings, is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent sights that nature has ever produced in the whole world of butterflies. " Prized by collectors, these large, showy butterflies have had hundreds of names applied to polymorphic variants.
