Canary Speckled Wood Pararge xiphioides
HOME
La Palma - April 2001
This species is extremely similar to the south and western subspecies, aegeria,
of the Speckled Wood. It is easy to identify, however, having a more or
less straight outer margin to the forewing, a white wedge on the
underside of the hindwing and being the only species of Pararge to occur in the Canary Islands. It is also endemic to these islands.
