The Callophrys herculeana

Callophrys herculeana is a small green butterfly that hovers near Colutea cilicica, on which it lays its eggs. The genus Callophrys consists of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It is apparently not monophyletic, but which of the taxa currently considered junior synonyms of Callophrys are valid genera remains to be determined.
