黑框藍閃蝶(學名:)又譯作黑框藍魔爾浮蝶,是屬於蛺蝶科閃蝶屬之中,海倫閃蝶的一個亞種。廣泛分佈於新熱帶界之中南美洲一帶,包括巴拿馬及西印度群島至哥倫比亞一帶。
形態
幼蟲有褐、紅及黑色細線紋,背上有兩個黃色斑,另有紅線紋貫穿其間。軀體上有紅褐色和白色毛,並在背上形成多簇毛。一對腿間長有能發出強烈臭味的腺體。
成蝶展翅95-120毫米。翅膀背面有鮮明的金屬藍色,雄蝶的比雌蝶更藍,前後翅外緣皆有寬厚的暗色邊,前翅前緣近軀體亦漸變純黑色。波浪形的翅外緣凹入部份有小白邊。翅膀腹面底色褐色,有若干個套黃圈的黑圈眼紋,雙翅黑色的外緣有細斑線紋。
習性
幼蟲以薄莢豆屬及machaerium seemannii等豆科植物作寄主,當遇到威脅身上的腺體能發出強烈臭味驅走捕食者。成蝶喜愛吸食掉在地上的腐果。
