Eugene Le Moult's Prepona Types (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Charaxinae)
BULLETIN OF THE ALLYN MUSEUM Published by THE ALLYN MUSEUM OF ENTOMOLOGY Sarasota, Florida Number... 21 21 Oct. 1974 EUGENE LE MOULT'S PREPONA TYPES (LEPIDOPTERA: NYMPHALIDAE, CHARAXINAE) R. 1. Vane-Wright British Museum (Natural History), London This paper deals with the type material of butterflies belonging to the S. American genus Prepona Boisduval, described by Eugene Le Moult in his work Etudes sur les Prepona (1932). Le Moult was an insect dealer somewhat infamous in entomological circles; for present purposes it will suffice to say that he published most of his work privately, many of his taxonomic conclusions were unsound, and he was a "splitter", subdividing many previously accepted species on little evidence. He was also inclined to describe very minor variations as aberrations or other infrasubspecific categories. Reference to his type material is usually essential when revisional work is undertaken on the groups he touched upon. Le Moult's Prepona 'Etude' was never completed; that part which was published appeared after 'Seitz', and there is undoubtedly much synonymy to unravel. It is hoped that the present work will be of assistance to those studying this genus in the future. The bulk of Le Moult's very extensive Lepidoptera collection which remained after his death was disposed by auction in some 1100 lots, on 5th-7th February 1968, by Mes. Hoebanx and Lemaire at the Hotel Drouot, Paris (sale catalogue, Hoebanx & Lemaire, 1967). The greater part of Le Moult's Prepona types were still in his collection at that time and were included in lots 405-500. Most of the types in this sale material of Prepona are now housed in the British Museum 1- (Natural History). -

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. -
Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in a Coastal Plain Area in the State of Paraná, Brazil
62 TROP. LEPID. RES., 26(2): 62-67, 2016 LEVISKI ET AL.: Butterflies in Paraná Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in a coastal plain area in the state of Paraná, Brazil Gabriela Lourenço Leviski¹*, Luziany Queiroz-Santos¹, Ricardo Russo Siewert¹, Lucy Mila Garcia Salik¹, Mirna Martins Casagrande¹ and Olaf Hermann Hendrik Mielke¹ ¹ Laboratório de Estudos de Lepidoptera Neotropical, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Caixa Postal 19.020, 81.531-980, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]٭ Abstract: The coastal plain environments of southern Brazil are neglected and poorly represented in Conservation Units. In view of the importance of sampling these areas, the present study conducted the first butterfly inventory of a coastal area in the state of Paraná. Samples were taken in the Floresta Estadual do Palmito, from February 2014 through January 2015, using insect nets and traps for fruit-feeding butterfly species. A total of 200 species were recorded, in the families Hesperiidae (77), Nymphalidae (73), Riodinidae (20), Lycaenidae (19), Pieridae (7) and Papilionidae (4). Particularly notable records included the rare and vulnerable Pseudotinea hemis (Schaus, 1927), representing the lowest elevation record for this species, and Temenis huebneri korallion Fruhstorfer, 1912, a new record for Paraná. These results reinforce the need to direct sampling efforts to poorly inventoried areas, to increase knowledge of the distribution and occurrence patterns of butterflies in Brazil. Key words: Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, conservation, inventory, species richness. INTRODUCTION the importance of inventories to knowledge of the fauna and its conservation, the present study inventoried the species of Faunal inventories are important for providing knowledge butterflies of the Floresta Estadual do Palmito. -

Robert A. Raguso Dept. of Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511 USA.* Jorge Llorente-Bousquets Museo de Zoologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Apartado Postal 70-399 Mexico D.F., CP 04510 Abstract. Checklists of the butterflies (Lepidoptera) collected in two rainforest study sites in the Tuxtlas Mts., Veracruz, Mexico are presented. A total of 182 species of butterflies were recorded at Laguna Encantada, near San Andres Tuxtla, and 212 species were recorded from the nearby Estacion de Biologia Tropical “Los Tuxtlas” (EBITROLOTU). We collected 33 species not included in G. Ross’ (1975–77) faunistic treatment of the region, 12 of which are new species records for the Tuxtlas. We present a list of the skipper butterflies (Hesperioidea) of the Tuxtlas, including a state record for the giant skipper, Agathymus rethon. At both study sites, we observed seasonal patterns in species abundance during periods of reduced precipitation. Our data indicate an apparent increase in butterfly species-richness in the Tuxtlas over the last 25 years. This increase reflects more efficient sampling due to advances in lepidopteran ecology and improved collecting methods, as well as the effects of habitat disturbance. A comparison between the butterfly faunas of the two rainforest sites revealed that a higher percentage of weedy, cosmopolitan species were present at Laguna Encantada, the smaller, more disturbed site. We anticipate further changes in butterfly species-richness and faunal composition as the mosaic of habitats in the Tuxtlas continue to be modified. -
Criteria and Indicators for Assessing the Sustainability of Forest Management: Conservation of Biodiversity
CIFOR WORKING PAPER NO. 17 CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY RESEARCH Aug 1997 Criteria and Indicators for Assessing the Sustainability of Forest Management: Conservation of Biodiversity N.E. Stork, T.J.B. Boyle, V. Dale, H. Eeley, B. Finegan, M. Lawes, N. Manokaran, R. Prabhu and J. Soberon Summary The need for new criteria and indicators for the assessment of biodiversity conservation as part of sustainable forest management of tropical forests has been identified as a priority by many international organisations. Those biodiversity criteria and indicators which formed part of a much broader initial assessment by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) (Prabhu et al. 1996) were found to be deficient. This Working Paper contains specific proposals for biodiversity criteria and indicators. These proposals originated from a workshop of experts, and are intended to be adapted and refined for use in specific situations. Criteria and indicators need to be applied at the forest management unit level and those for biodiversity are just one part of a package that includes socio-economic and other categories. Biodiversity is an extraordi- narily broad concept and, given the huge diversity of life in tropical forests, it is impossible to make rapid direct assessments of biodiversity in forests in anything other than a superficial manner. It is likely that there will be limited skilled human resources and time for biodiversity assessment in any system of criteria and indicators, so it is important that we design tools that do not require expert application and interpretation. The usefulness of Òindicator groupsÓ, ÒkeystoneÓ species and other concepts is still argued among biolo- gists and their utility is questionable. -

Subject Editor: Lauri Kaila. Abstract. Faunistic records additional to the recently published lists of Bombycoidea and Noctuoidea of the South Ural Mountains (Nupponen & Fibiger 2002, 2006) are presented, as well as some interesting records from the North Urals and the Lower Volga region. The material in the southern Urals was collected during 2006-2010 in six different expeditions, in North Ural in 2003 and 2007, and in the Lower Volga region in 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006 in four expeditions. Four species are reported for the first time from Europe: Dichagyris latipennis (Piingeler, 1909), Pseudohermonassa melancholica (Lederer, 1853), Spae- lotis deplorata (Staudinger, 1897), and Xestia albonigra (Kononenko, 1981). Fourteen species are reported for the first time from the southern Urals. Altogether, records of 68 species are reported, including a few corrections to the previous articles. Further illustrations and notes on some poorly known taxa are given. Introduction The fauna of Bombycoidea and Noctuoidea of the southern Ural Mountains has been studied intensely since 1996, and the results of the research during 1996-2005 were published by Nupponen & Fibiger (2002, 2006). Since 2005, several further expedi- tions were made to the Urals by the first author. -

Measuring Diversity: the Importance of Species Similarity
Measuring diversity: the importance of species similarity Tom Leinster1,2,∗ Christina A. Cobbold1,2 1School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Glasgow, UK 2Boyd Orr Centre for Population and Ecosystem Health, University of Glasgow, UK ∗Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] 1 Abstract Realistic measures of biodiversity should reflect not only the relative abundances of species, but also the differences between them. We present a natural family of diversity measures taking both factors into account. This is not just another addition to the already long list of diversity indices: instead, a single formula subsumes many of the most popular indices, including Shannon’s, Simpson’s, species richness, and Rao’s quadratic entropy. These popular indices can then be used and understood in a unified way, and the relationships between them are made plain. The new measures are, moreover, effective numbers, so that percentage changes and ratio comparisons of diversity value are meaningful. We advocate the use of diversity profiles, which provide a faithful graphical representation of the shape of a community; they show how the perceived diversity changes as the emphasis shifts from rare to common species. Communities can usefully be compared by comparing their diversity profiles. We show by example that this is a far more subtle method than any relying on a single statistic. Some ecologists view diversity indices with suspicion, questioning whether they are biologically meaningful. By dropping the naive assumption that distinct species have nothing in common, working with effective numbers, and using diversity profiles, we arrive at a system of diversity measurement that should lay much of this suspicion to rest.
