The Andalusian Anomalous Blue or Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) violetae is a species of butterfly in the Lycaenidae family. It is found in the south (ssp. violetae) and south-east (ssp. subbaeticus) of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain). Adults are on wing from July to August.
Subspecies
Two sspp:
- Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) violetae violetae (Gómez-Bustillo, Expósito & Martínez, 1979).
- Type locality: Sierra de la Almijara, SE. Málaga province, S. Andalusia Region, S. Spain.
- The larvae feed on Onobrychis argentea argentea.
- Polyommatus (Agrodiaetus) violetae subbaeticus (Gil-T. & Gil-Uceda, 2005).
- Type locality: Sierra de la Sagra, N. Granada province, NE. Andalusia Region, SE. 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.
