Rapport MMNHN-SPN 2013 - 19, 201 p. Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées. Summary : Studies on molecular phylogenies of Butterflies and Burnets have been increasingly frequent in the recent years, changing the systematics and taxonomy of these two groups. A full update has been performed in this work.

Some Butterfly Observations in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakstan (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) by Bent Kjeldgaard Larsen Received 3.111.2003
©Ges. zur Förderung d. Erforschung von Insektenwanderungen e.V. München, download unter www.zobodat.at Atalanta (August 2003) 34(1/2): 153-165, colour plates Xl-XIVa, Wurzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 Some butterfly observations in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakstan (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) by Bent Kjeldgaard Larsen received 3.111.2003 Abstract: Unlike the Ural Mountains, the Altai, and the Tien Shan, the steppe region of Cen tral Asia has been poorly investigated with respect to butterflies - distribution maps of the re gion's species (1994) show only a handful occurring within a 300 km radius of Karaganda in Central Kazakstan. It is therefore not surprising that approaching 100 additional species were discovered in the Karaganda Oblast during collecting in 1997, 2001 and 2002. During two days of collecting west of the Balkash Lake in May 1997, nine species were identified. On the steppes in the Kazakh Highland, 30 to 130 km south of Karaganda, about 50 butterflies were identified in 2001 and 2002, while in the Karkaralinsk forest, 200 km east of Karaganda, about 70 were encountered. Many of these insects are also to be found in western Europe and almost all of those noted at Karkaralinsk and on the steppes occur in South-Western Siberia. Observations revealed Zegris eupheme to be penetrating the area from the west and Chazara heydenreichi from the south. However, on the western side of Balkash Lake the picture ap peared to change. Many of the butterflies found here in 1997 - Parnassius apollonius, Zegris pyrothoe, Polyommatus miris, Plebeius christophi and Lyela myops - mainly came from the south, these belonging to the semi-desert and steppe fauna of Southern Kazakstan.

Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

Northern Species As Erebia Discoidalis, Agriades Glandon and Cartero
1964 JOI1Trlal of the Lepidopteristl.' Society 217 BUTTERFLIES OF YAKIMA COUNTY, WASHINGTON by E. J. NEWCOMER 1509 Summitview, Yakima, Washington Yakima County, 'Washington, is rather unique as an area for the study of butterflies. It is quite large, 4,273 square miles, and it encompasses every life zone from Arctic-alpine to Upper Sonoran. The elevation ranges from over 12,000 feet on Mt. Adams to 500 feet at the Columbia River. Annual precipitation ranges from 60 inches or more in the mountains to about 6 inches at the Columbia River.1 The physiographic diversity results in a wide variety of vegetation, from stunted conifers, low shrubs and fields of wild flowers at timber line down through the heavy growths of white pine and fir, open yellow-pine forests, a belt of oaks (Quercus garryana) , and on down to open fields and dry desert characterized by sage-brush, greasewood, hop sage and a few early annuals. The floral range enables a large number of species of butterflies. It brings together in one county such northern species as Erebia discoidalis, Agriades glandon and Cartero cephalus palaemon with southern species such as Apodemia mormo and Heliopetes ericetorum. Of about 130 species that have been recorded in Washington, at least 103 occur in Yakima County. These facts have made it worth while to study the butterflies of this county intensively, which I have done for seven years. I also had taken a few notes on species seen in the 1920's; and the Rev. A. I. Good collected in the county in 1955-56, and he has very kindly given me copies of his records.

Papilio Series) 2006
(NEW April 28 PAPILIO SERIES) 2006 TAXONOMIC STUDIES AND NEW TAXA OF NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES by James A. Scott (also editor), Michael S. Fisher, Norbert G. Kondla, Steve Kohler, Crispin S. Guppy, Stephen M. Spomer, and B. Chris Schmidt Abstract. New diversity is reported and discussed among North American butterflies. Several dozen new taxa are named. A new "sibling" species has been found to occur throughout the Rocky Mts., introducing a new butterfly species to most states in western U.S. and to southern Alberta and BC. Several taxa of Colias, Euphydryas, Lycaena, and Plebejus are raised to species status. Many nam.e changes are made, and many taxa are switched between species to create several dozen new combinations. The relevance of species concepts to difficult groups of butterflies is explored. Introduction This paper consists of miscellaneous taxonomic studies on North American butterflies, some in the northeast, but mostly in the west. Most of the diversity of butterfly fauna in North America is in the western mountainous areas, where the human population is lower, so it has taken longer to study western butterflies, and a lot more study is needed. We have made new findings on many wes.tern butterflies, and this progress is reported below. And Scott recently moved his collection out of old dermestid-infested drawers into fine very-tight ones that those beetles cannot enter, and in the process of resorting them found a dozen unnamed subspecies, which are named below. As we study our butterflies and learn more and more about them, a disturbing pattern has emerged.

It is pleasing to report that several of these are planned for this summer season and the response to one request has already produced some very valuable information on one of Europe’s rarest butterflies. Martin Wiemers suggested an EIG survey for Pieris chaeranthi (Canary Islands Large White) (EN) in Tenerife and sent me lots of useful information which I have forwarded to people visiting Tenerife and we have three recent reports including one from a new location. Matt Rowlings took this picture of a Canary Islands Large White ( Pieris chaeranthi) ©Matt Rowlings female last week. The butterfly flies all year on an 1 island often visited by UK citizens. It is just one example of how EIG can gather useful information in Europe. We have been able to follow up several of the suggestions from partners we talked to in Laufen.
