Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) violetae, the Andalusian anomalous blue, is a species of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in the south (subspecies violetae) and south-east (subspecies subbaeticus) of Spain. Adults are on wing from July to August.

Subspecies

Two subspecies:

  • Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) violetae violetae (Gómez-Bustillo, Expósito & Martínez, 1979)

:Type locality: Sierra de Almijara, south-eastern Málaga province, southern Andalusia region, southern Spain

:The larvae feed on Onobrychis argentea argentea

  • Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) violetae subbaeticus Gil-T. & Gil-Uceda, 2005)

:Type locality: Sierra de la Sagra, northern Granada province, north-eastern Andalusia region, south-eastern Spain.

:The larvae feed on Onobrychis argentea hispanica

:Note: the taxon subbaeticus was described as a subspecies of Agrodiaetus fabressei (Oberthür, 1910), but molecular studies have demonstrate that belongs to the species violetae.

Synonyms

  • Agrodiaetus violetae violetae = Agrodiaetus fabressei violetae Gómez-Bustillo, Expósito & Martínez, 1979
  • Agrodiaetus violetae subbaeticus = Agrodiaetus fabressei subbaeticus Gil-T. & Gil-Uceda, 2005

Combination

  • Valid combination: Agrodiaetus violetae Gómez-Bustillo, Expósito & Martínez, 1979
