status

 

Glabroculus cyane (Eversmann, 1837)

Specimens: 1\NNE Parnaya, 3♂, 1♀; 2\NE Kopyovo, 1♂; 3\NNE Kopyovo, 1♂; 6\SE Efremkino, 1♂, 1♀; 8\Uybat, 3♂, 1♀ (all released after examination).

Visual registrations: 10\Terensug, 1 ind.

Observations: The species is tightly associated with Goniolimon speciosum (L.) Boiss. in the larval and even imaginal stage (the adults prefer to keep to large inflorescences of this plant as well and feed on them), so it mostly stony places in meadow steppe or rocky slopes. This plant was abundant in most steppen localities while these butterflies appeared much less numerous than expected.
