Coenonympha nipisiquit

[mothman27]

I am interested in learning more about this species. I have found very little about it online. Does anyone here have it in their collection?

Did you do a search? duckduckgo.com/?q=coenonympha+tullia+nipisiquit&t=ffab&atb=v196-1&ia=web

Seems to be a TON of publications about the butterfly.


Here's one I like: I've been on Picton Island; note though that the species name/ ssp apparently has been updated since then. www.jstor.org/stable/25005652?seq=1

Coenonympha nipisiquit.

Coenonympha tulia was the original species with a good dozen sub-species.

Coenonympha nipisiquit, depending of what you think or believe, may be a good species. Every time I go out west, I come back with a dozen or more specimens from different locations of Coenonympha tulia. I have many specimens with determination labels: Coenonympha tulips NC Wyoming. (The NC = North Central.)

I have this little comment that I use: "Mother Nature/God never read the field guides". They like messing with our feeble minds.
