Hipparchia statilinus, the tree grayling, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.[3] The species can be found in Central Europe, Southern Europe, North Africa, Anatolia and the Caucasus.[1]
The wingspan is 21–25 millimetres (0.83–0.98 in).[citation needed] On the underside of each forewing there are two black eyespots ringed in yellow, the upper one with a white central spot. Between the two black eyespots there are two white spots. On the underside of the hindwings there may be a black spot near the posterior and anal margin.[4]
This butterfly can be found in rocky, grassy habitats.[1][4] The larvae feed on various common grasses of the Poaceae family.[1][5] Adults fly from July to October, and can be found resting on rocky ground with closed wings, warming up.[4]
