We explore the influence of each gene region on the support given to each node of the most parsimonious tree derived from a combined analysis of all three genes using Partitioned Bremer Support. We also explore the influence of assuming equal weights for all characters in the combined analysis by investigating the stability of clades to different transition/transversion weighting schemes. We find many strongly supported and stable clades in the Nymphalinae. We are also able to identify ‘rogue’

  • Descriptions of Two New Chlosyne (Nymphalid~) from Mexico, with a Discussion of Related Forms
    148 Vo1.14: no.Z DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW CHLOSYNE (NYMPHALID~) FROM MEXICO, WITH A DISCUSSION OF RELATED FORMS by DAVID L. BAUER Some years ago while examining the series of C hlosyne lacinia Geyer in the collection of F. M. BROWN, I noticed five specimens without marginal or submarginal spots on the wings. These specimens were all from northeastern Mexico and this along with their other peculiarities interested me, so I set them aside and continued to examine the series. Later among the specimens of C hlosyne lacinia quehtala Reakirt, I found five more specimens which also did not have a trace of the marginal or submarginal spots on their wings. These last specimens were from southwestern Mexico. As soon as possible I examined the genitalia of these two insects to see if they were just another variation of the protean C. lacinia, of which I had already checked many forms, or something new. I was both surprised and delighted to find the genitalia w ere definitely not like those of true lacinia. Comparison with the genitalia of other species of Chlosyne showed them to be most like those of C. janais Drury. The next summer, 1954, a trip was taken to Mexico and several colonies of the first insect were found, its habits were observed, and a good series was collected, but only one specimen of the second insect was c3.ptured. However, that same year, and also two years later, KENT H. WILSON was collecting Papilio in Mexico, and knowing of my interest in the Chlosyne he collected as many as he could and sent them to me for study.

  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.

  • The Status of Silvery Blue Subspecies (Glaucopsyche Lygdamus Lygdamus and G
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' SOciety 45(4), 1991, 272-290 THE STATUS OF SILVERY BLUE SUBSPECIES (GLAUCOPSYCHE LYGDAMUS LYGDAMUS AND G. L. COUPERI: LYCAENIDAE) IN NEW YORK ROBERT DIRIG Bailey Hortorium Herbarium, 462 Mann Library, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853 AND JOHN F. CRYAN New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 1 Hunterspoint Plaza, 47-40 Twenty-first Street, Long Island City, New York 11101 ABSTRACT. Two subspecies of the Silvery Blue (Glaucopsyche lygdamus, Lycaeni­ dae) are recorded from New York. The nominate subspecies was reported from central New York through 1969, but has not been seen from 1970-1991. Adults flew in May, and larvae fed on native Wood Vetch (Vicia caroliniana, Fabaceae) on steep, naturally unstable, southwest-facing shale banks. Glaucopsyche lygdamus couperi is reported for the first time from northern New York (and Vermont), where its larvae feed on planted or naturalized Tufted Vetch (Vicia cracca), and adults fly in June on weedy road banks. This butterfly is spreading south using vetch-lined highway corridors. The two entities exhibit marked ecological and phenotypic contrasts in New York. Additional key words: Fabaceae, Vicia cracca, Vicia caroliniana, range expansion, rare species. The Silvery Blue, Glaucopsyche Iygdamus (Doubleday) (Lycaeni­ dae), has been considered rare and local in New York, where the nominate subspecies reaches its northern limit (Klots 1951, Shapiro 1974, Opler & Krizek 1984). Literature references and specimens are scanty, and almost nothing has been published about its natural history in New York. Scudder (1889) said that ssp. Iygdamus was "known from the upper waters of the Susquehanna [River]," but gave no details.

  • Taxonomy, Distribution and Biology of the Genus Cercyonis (Satyridae)
    1969 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 165 TAXONOMY, DISTRIBUTION AND BIOLOGY OF THE GENUS CERCYONIS (SATYRIDAE). 1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GENUS THOMAS C. EMMEL Department of Zoology, The University of Florida, Gainesville Evolution of butterflies in the satyrid genus Cercyonis has produced a complex of species groups and variable populations in North America that has not been reviewed thoroughly since the last century. The pur­ pose of this paper and others to follow in the series is to provide a critical, modern synthesis of taxonomic, distributional and biological information on all species and subspecies within the genus, based on extensive studies by the author from 1960 to the present. In future papers, each species group will be treated intensively, with plates of both sexes of adults of all subspecies, larvae, pupae, figures of eggs, genitalia, androconia, antennae and other important morphological characters, and chromosomes. Genetic data and hyblidization crosses will also be summarized in the present series from mateIial to be pub­ lished in full elsewhere. TAXONOMY The Nearctic genus Cercyonis has had over thirty specific, subspecif'ic, or varietal names applied to it, and no taxonomic revision has been at­ tempted since the 1880s (Edwards, 1880). On the basis of extensive field work, examination of over 5,000 adult C ercyonis specimens, rearing of many of the named forms, and studies of external and internal morphology of all these forms, the following new taxonomic treatment is proposed.l 1. Cercyonis sthenele (Boisduval, 1852) a. sthenele sthenele (Boisduval, 1852) b. sthenele silvestris (Edwards, 1861) c. sthenele paulus (Edwards, 1879) behrii (Grinnell, 19(5) d.

RESUMEN La riqueza biológica de Mesoamérica es enorme. Dentro de esta gran área geográfi ca se encuentran algunos de los ecosistemas más diversos del planeta (selvas tropicales), así como varios de los principales centros de endemismo en el mundo (bosques nublados). Países como Guatemala, en esta gran área biogeográfi ca, tiene grandes zonas de bosque húmedo tropical y bosque mesófi lo, por esta razón es muy importante para analizar la diversidad en la región. Lamentablemente, la fauna de mariposas de Guatemala es poco conocida y por lo tanto, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio y análisis de la composición y la diversidad de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en Guatemala.
