Spialia Sertorius
''Spialia sertorius'', commonly known as the red-underwing skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. Description The red-underwing skipper can be confused with the species of the genus ''Pyrgus''. The underside has a cinnamon-red to yellowish base tone, while it is primarily greenish to brownish in the ''Pyrgus'' species. Since this coloring is less evident in older butterflies (and deviations occur), the characteristic arrangement of the spots on the underside of the hind wing should always be used to determine. On the upper side of the forewing, there is a series of small, distinctly bright spots in the submarginal bandage, which runs in a regular flat curve to the front edge. The four areas of the post-discal region further towards the wing base are also in a row, while in the species of the genus ''Pyrgus,'' only three are side by side, and the fourth is disengaged. The wingspan is 22-26 mm. (MHNT) Spialia sertorius - Bossey, Haute-Savoie, France - male dorsal.jpg, ...
