Hipparchia syriaca is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Greece especially on the island of Samos, Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania, North Macedonia, Caucasus and Transcaucasia. It is found on the edges of foothills and mountain forests up to 2,000 m
Very like Hipparchia hermione but the band of the forewing is narrower, being entirely obsolete in the anal area of the hindwing.[1]
Typically June to August, depending on altitude and locality. In Cyprus, the flight time of H. s. cypriaca is from May to October, or later.[2]
Larvae feed on Holcus species.
Bushy places pine woods and clearings.
