こげ茶色の翅に、白の斑点が3本の筋状につながっているので、コミスジチョウと名付けられました。特徴を端的に示す覚えやすい名前です。
There are white dots lined up in three lines on umber brown wings, so it has been named ko-misuji-cyou. The ko-misuji-cyou means a little butterfly having three lines in Japanese. The name indicating the characteristic plainly is easy to remember.
