A List Oi Lepidoptel'a Cohected in Costa Rica ltev. Biol. Trap.• 14(2): 281-292. 1966 A List oi Lepidoptel'a coHected in Costa Rica by Macdonald Fulton * (Received por publication. August 20. 1966) Lists of the lepidoptera of Costa Rica are not available. Collections in variolls mllsellms have been worked up. but the reports have induded other Cen­ tral American or N eotropical material. The information is 'Scattered in various museum monographs. or in sl1ch encydopedias as the Biologia Centrali-Ame­ ricana and the Seitz Macrolepidoptera. The au.thor possesses a collection made in the San Jose area of the Me­ seta Central of Costa Rica during 1963 and 1964. The collection was supple­ mented with specimens contributed by other collectors from southern Puntaren as Province and from Puerto Limón" Many Costa Ricans and North Americans helped with thc collecting. The identifications were made principally by the use of volumes 5. 6. 7 and 8 of Seitz' s "Macrolepidoptera". These were provided for the work by a grant-in-aid from the Society of the Sigma Xi. The Hesperiidae in large part were identified by Dr. L. D. Miller while he was working in Costa Rica, and this part of the work benefited from his expert knowledge and his familiarity with modern terminology_ The list is too incomplete to represent truly the variety and the relation­ ships of the lepidoptera of Costa Rica. For ready reference, it seemed well to arrange the groups of genera and species in alphabetical order. The order of arrangement of families and subfamilies of Rhopalocera generally follows that in Dos PASSOS: "A Synonymic List of the Neartic Rhopalocera", and the families of moths are arranged according to Barnes and McDunnough.

  • Hybridization in the Species of Enantia Jethys Complex (Lepidoptera, Pieridae)
    Poster ID: 305 Hybridization in the species of Enantia jethys complex (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) Jovana M Jasso-Martínez, Salima C Machkour-M´Rabet, Roger Vila, Rosario Rodríguez-Arnaiz, América N Castaneda-Sortibrán Abstract With at least 10% of the worldwide species involved, hybridization is common in animal species. Hybridization events have been largely demonstrated in butterfly natural populations. Studies have shown that interspecific gene flow remains important even after speciation, and therefore hybridization and introgression are an important factor for the evolution of species as a source of genetic variability. Enantia is a butterfly genus of the family Pieridae, and currently contains nine Neotropical species. The Enantia jethys complex is a Mesoamerican group composed by three species (E. jethys, E. mazai, E. albania), all of which are sympatric in Mexico. Results: We carried out separate and concatenated phylogenetic analyses among Mexican specimens of the above taxa using DNA sequences of three gene markers (COI, RpS5, Wg) and ISSRs. The separate analyses recovered distinct topologies and all markers had high levels of interspecific gene flow. We found evidence of directional hybridization. Hybridization always involves E. albania with the other two species, but it never occurs between E. jethys and E. mazai. We also observed that the hybrids can affect the levels of genetic diversity in these species. This study remarks the importance of assessing the presence of hybridization in evolutionary studies of closely related species. Introduction Natural hybridization can be defined as the production of viable hybrids from interspecific mating, and introgression as the integration of foreign genetic material from one species into another through backcrossing (Baack and Rieseberg 2007).

The sample was collected during the Characterization of wild Entomofauna of the Frio river basin jurisdiction of CDMB, in secondary forests in an altitudinal gradient from 1,000 to 2,911 masl. 79 specimens of the family Pieridae were collected, belonging to 13 genera of which Leptophobia had 5 species, and Catasticta and Eurema had 3 species each. We obtained 22 species distributed in six sampling locations, where the highest richness of species was in Diviso Experimental Center with 12 species and Esperanza Experimental Center with 10. The analysis of the inventory quality showed a potential richness of 32.81 species, a proportion of the observed species of 67.05% and a sampling effort of 76.41%. The comparison of inventories for each locality showed a certain similarity between La Nevera, La Mariana and La Judia, and fewer similarities with El Diviso.

  • Variance of Proboscis Length of Butterflies
    Butterfly Proboscis Length and Pollen Load Charles McCanna Department of Biology, University of Wisconsin-Madison _____________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Pollination mutualisms between plants and pollinators facilitate increases in genetic variability for plants while providing rewards for pollinators. Specialization of pollinators on specific plants has occurred to maximize benefits of these pollination mutualisms. With this specialization, pollination syndromes have evolved that increase a flower’s chance of eliciting visitation of a specific pollinator. For example, “butterfly flowers” have evolved bright colors, short to medium corollas, and strong scents that tend to attract butterflies. However, some of these flowers have evolved long corollas to specialize on long proboscis butterflies. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of corolla length on degree of pollen specificity in butterfly pollinated flowers. This was completed by observing proboscis length of butterflies and the corolla lengths of flowers visited. A total of 54 butterflies of 29 different species were collected from a fragmented Lower Montane Moist Forest in Cañitas, Costa Rica. Following removal and measurement, proboscises were observed under a microscope for pollen grains of 24 different species of flowering plants. Proboscises of lengths less than 10 mm were defined as short proboscises. Butterflies with proboscises greater than 17 mm were defined as long proboscis butterflies. Butterflies with long proboscises had a greater pollen species richness, often times twice that of small proboscis butterflies. Pollen from long corolla and short corolla flowers was found on all lengths of proboscises. Pollen loads on proboscises suggest that pollination by butterflies is not specific in this community. This non-specificity of butterflies on flowers has ecological and evolutionary effects on community composition and stability.

Data are from 12 years field experience in the country and from Museums specimens. Some new species records are added to Ecuadorian fauna and it is presumed that at least a 10% more of new records will be obtained in the near future. Ecuadorian Pieridae, although in the past many taxa were described from this country, are far from being thoroughly known. One of the most prolific author was Hewitson (1852-1877; 1869-1870; 1870; 1877) who described many species from the collections made by Buckley and Simons . Some of the "Ecuador” citations by Hewitson are pointed out more precisely by the same author (Hewit ­ son , 1870) in his index to the list of species collected by Buckley in remote areas uneasily reached even to-day (V ane -Wright, 1991). An important contribution on Lepidoptera of Ecuador is given by Dognin (1887-1896) who described and listed many new species collected by Gaujon in the Loja area, where typical amazonian and páramo species are included.

Much of our current under- standing is based primarily on detailed morphological observations made 50–70 years ago. However, the family and its putative four subfamilies and two tribes, have rarely been subjected to rigorous phylogenetic analysis. Here we present results based on an analysis of molecular characters used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Pieridae in order to infer higher-level classification above the generic level and patterns of historical biogeography. Our sample contained 90 taxa representing 74 genera and six subgenera, or 89% of all genera recognized in the family. Three complementary approaches were

  • Revised Systematics and Higher Classification of Pierid Butterflies
    Zoologica Scripta Revised systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on molecular data NIKLAS WAHLBERG,JADRANKA ROTA,MICHAEL F. BRABY,NAOMI E. PIERCE & CHRISTOPHER W. WHEAT Submitted: 5 May 2014 Wahlberg, N., Rota, J., Braby, M.F., Pierce, N.E. & Wheat, C.W. (2014). Revised Accepted: 12 July 2014 systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on doi:10.1111/zsc.12075 molecular data. — Zoologica Scripta, 43, 641–650. The butterfly family Pieridae comprises approximately 1000 described species placed in 85 genera, but the higher classification has not yet been settled. We used molecular data from eight gene regions (one mitochondrial and seven nuclear protein-coding genes) com- prising a total of ~6700 bp from 96 taxa to infer a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the family. Based on this hypothesis, we revise the higher classification for all pierid genera. We resurrect the tribe Teracolini stat. rev. in the subfamily Pierinae to include the genera Teracolus, Pinacopteryx, Gideona, Ixias, Eronia, Colotis and most likely Calopieris. We transfer Hebomoia to the tribe Anthocharidini and assign the previously unplaced gen- era Belenois and Dixeia to the subtribe Aporiina. Three lineages near the base of Pierinae (Leptosia, Elodina and Nepheronia + Pareronia) remain unplaced. For each of these, we describe and delineate new tribes: Elodinini Braby tribus nova, Leptosiaini Braby tribus nova and Nepheroniini Braby tribus nova. The proposed higher classification is based on well-supported monophyletic groups and is likely to remain stable even with the addition of more data.
