PALABRAS CLAVE: Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae, nuevas especies, nuevas subespecies, Colombia. Butterflies of the tribe Pronophilini of the Andean Western Cordillera in Colombia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) Abstract A checklist of the species of the tribe Pronophilini (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) occurring in the Colombian Western Cordillera is elaborated, including data of first ever sampling of diurnal Lepidoptera in the páramos of this range, in the Tatamá, Citará and Cerro Frontino massifs. A total of 85 species are reported. Five new species and five new subspecies are described, three of which, Neopedaliodes yeyo Pyrcz & Rodríguez, sp. n., Pedaliodes tatama Pyrcz & Rodríguez, sp. n. and Lymanopoda zebra Pyrcz & Rodríguez, sp. n., endemic of the páramo. 18 species are reported for the first time for the Western Cordillera, and one Panyapedaliodes traceyannae Pyrcz & Viloria for Colombia. The identity of P. pheretias form griseola Weymer, and of the female paratype of P. gustavi Viloria, L. Miller & J. Miller are discussed. Biogeographical patterns are analyzed, especially species richness, endemism ratio and the affinities of Western Cordilleras with other ranges of the northern Andes. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae, new species, new subspecies, Colombia. Introducción La tribu Pronophilini (sensu MILLER, 1968) (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae), considerada por algunos autores como subtribu Pronophilina (LAMAS et al., 2004), es uno de los grupos de mariposas diurnas más diversos en los medio ambientes montanos de la región Neotropical, con por lo menos 520 especies identificadas (ADAMS, 1985; PYRCZ, 2004a; PYRCZ & FRATELLO, 2005). El 95% de ellas habitan los bosques de niebla y páramos de la Cordillera de los Andes. La fauna de Pronophilini de Colombia suma 205 especies, lo que la sitúa, en términos de riqueza de especies en el segundo lugar 455 T. W. PYRCZ & G. RODRÍGUEZ entre los países andinos, sobrepasando a Ecuador (178), Bolivia (126) y Venezuela (109) y tan sólo adelantado por Perú (284) (LAMAS et al., 2004 [modificado]; GARECA et al., 2006; PYRCZ, inédito). Las especies de Pronophilini se caracterizan por estar distribuidas en estrechas franjas de altitud (< 300 m en algunos casos) y por presentar una tasa de endemismo elevada en todas las áreas estudiadas, llegando al 30% en los macizos aislados de la parte norte del continente (ADAMS, 1985; PYRCZ & WOJTUSIAK, 2002; PYRCZ, 2004a). Tomando en cuenta el nivel de conocimiento de la fauna de lepidópteros Neotropicales, se puede afirmar que la Cordillera Occidental de Colombia es una de las áreas menos estudiadas de los Andes. La primera mención sobre los Pronophilini de la Cordillera Occidental es de STAUDINGER (1897) quien describe Daedalma dora en base a ejemplares provenientes de Río Dagua (Valle del Cauca). Pocos años después otros naturalistas alemanes THIEME (1907) y WEYMER (1912) hacen referencia a los Pronophilini recolectados por su compatriota A. H. Fassl en la misma zona de la Cordillera Occidental, a lo largo del eje Cali - Buenaventura y en la zona de Monte Socorro. FASSL (1915) elabora el primer listado de especies de la tribu Pronophilini de la Cordillera Occidental que consta de 29 especies. Es también el primer autor en reportar sus complejos patrones de distribución altitudinal. Pocos años después, otro naturalista alemán, KRÜGER (1924), muestrea en numerosas localidades del centro y sur de la Cordillera. Su estudio conlleva a la descripción de cuatro nuevas especies de Pronophilini (PYRCZ, 1999; PYRCZ, 2004c). La segunda mitad del siglo XX marca un período de deficiencia de nuevos datos faunísticos de esta parte de los Andes colombianos. El entomólogo inglés ADAMS (1986) publica una monografía de la tribu Pronophilini de Colombia, pero aparte de haber realizado un muestreo local en los Farallones de Cali, basa su información en los datos históricos de sus predecesores alemanes. Recientemente, Pyrcz, Wojtusiak y Prieto llevan a cabo estudios faunísticos y ecológicos en la parte centro-sur de la Cordillera, específicamente en la reserva de Tambito y el Parque Nacional Munchique (PYRCZ & WOJTUSIAK, 1999; PYRCZ & VILORIA, 1999, 2005; PRIETO, 2003). Material y métodos La parte principal del estudio de campo tuvo lugar en el 2005 y 2006 en los macizos de Tatamá, Farallones de Citará y Cerro Frontino durante la realización del estudio geológico adelantado por INGEOMINAS en el marco del proyecto “Modelo Geológico Integral y Potencial de Recursos del Subsuelo en la Cordillera Occidental”. Además, se estudió los especímenes provenientes de otras localidades de la Cordillera Occidental (especificadas en el Mapa) recolectados por Julián Salazar y Carlos Prieto. El acceso a la parte alta del páramo de Tatamá se realizó por un camino que parte de la vereda Los Planes en la cota 2.000 msnm, del Municipio de Santuario y bordea el río San Rafael hasta la cota 2.500 msnm, para luego remontar bruscamente hasta la cota 3.420 msnm, donde se encuentra el sector de Mirlas sitio de campamento. El trabajo de campo tuvo lugar durante la segunda y tercera semana de julio de 2005. El acceso a los Farallones del Citará se efectuó por un camino que parte del Corregimiento de Farallones en la cota 1.450 msnm, hasta la cota 3.820 msnm, parte más alta de los Farallones. El muestreo tuvo lugar en la última semana de febrero del 2006. Al Cerro Frontino se accedió por un carreteable que sale del Municipio de Frontino hasta la Mina El Cerro en la cota 2.100 msnm y de ahí por un camino que sube hasta la parte alta del cerro por encima de 2.930 msnm. El muestreo tuvo lugar la primera semana de agosto de 2006. Muestreos adicionales fueron realizados en octubre de 1993, en julio de 2004 y en abril de 2006 a lo largo del carreteable que conduce desde el Municipio de Pueblo Rico al cerro Montezuma, sobre parte de la Vía Pueblo Rico - Santa Cecilia-Tadó, en un rango altitudinal entre 1.500 y 2.300 msnm (elevación aproximada del cerro Montezuma). Se han realizado muestreos más continuos sobre la vía Medellín - Quibdó, a la altura del corregimiento de La Mansa en el Municipio de Ciudad Bolívar, en un rango altitudinal entre 1.900 y 2.100 msnm y en el Municipio de Jardín sobre la vía Jardín - Riosucio, en un rango altitudinal entre 2.000 y 2.800 msnm. 456 SHILAP Revta. lepid., 35 (140), diciembre 2007 MARIPOSAS DE LA TRIBU PRONOPHILINI EN LA CORDILLERA OCCIDENTAL DE LOS ANDES DE COLOMBIA 0 - 200 m 200 - 500 m 5000 - 1000 m 1000 - 2000 m CHOCÓ NORTE 2000 - 3500 m 3500 - 5000 m LOCALIDADES DE MUESTREO 11.

  • The Radiation of Satyrini Butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): A
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 161, 64–87. With 8 figures The radiation of Satyrini butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): a challenge for phylogenetic methods CARLOS PEÑA1,2*, SÖREN NYLIN1 and NIKLAS WAHLBERG1,3 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Av. Arenales 1256, Apartado 14-0434, Lima-14, Peru 3Laboratory of Genetics, Department of Biology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland Received 24 February 2009; accepted for publication 1 September 2009 We have inferred the most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis to date of butterflies in the tribe Satyrini. In order to obtain a hypothesis of relationships, we used maximum parsimony and model-based methods with 4435 bp of DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear genes for 179 taxa (130 genera and eight out-groups). We estimated dates of origin and diversification for major clades, and performed a biogeographic analysis using a dispersal–vicariance framework, in order to infer a scenario of the biogeographical history of the group. We found long-branch taxa that affected the accuracy of all three methods. Moreover, different methods produced incongruent phylogenies. We found that Satyrini appeared around 42 Mya in either the Neotropical or the Eastern Palaearctic, Oriental, and/or Indo-Australian regions, and underwent a quick radiation between 32 and 24 Mya, during which time most of its component subtribes originated. Several factors might have been important for the diversification of Satyrini: the ability to feed on grasses; early habitat shift into open, non-forest habitats; and geographic bridges, which permitted dispersal over marine barriers, enabling the geographic expansions of ancestors to new environ- ments that provided opportunities for geographic differentiation, and diversification.

Chusquea cf. scandens (Poaceae, Bambusoidea) is the larval food plant. Eggs are laid singly or in clusters of up to 11 on the bottom side of mature host plant leaves. The life cycle from egg to adult lasts 95-106 days. Adults are encountered most frequently on sunny days, flying rapidly over areas dominated by their food plant or feeding on the ground at mammal feces. Males guard perches near areas of food plant, usually in sunny areas or forest edges.

PYRCZ, [email protected] ABSTRACT. Two genera of Andean satyrine butterflies,Corderopedaliodes FORSTER and Physcopedaliodes FORSTER, are reassessed based on a study of adult morphology. Their female genitalia are examined and compared for the first time and their role in providing phylogenetically valuable characters is evaluated. The male genitalia of P. physcoa (HEWITSON), the type species of Physcopedaliodes, is re-examined and shown to possess two synapomorphic characters that are unique within the diverse Pedaliodes sensu lato complex, in the form of greatly transformed pedunculus and transtilla. All the species of Corderopedaliodes and Physcopedaliodes are listed and discussed. Pedaliodes symmachus GODMAN & SALVIN, previously associated with Corderopedaliodes and Physcopedaliodes, is transferred back to Pedaliodes. Two new species of Corderopedaliodes are described from Colombia and Peru. Pedaliodes pamphos THIEME n. syn. is considered a subjective junior synonym of Pedaliodes pandates (HEWITSON), and the new subspecies C. pandates olivieri n. ssp. is described from the valley of Cosñipata in Cuzco, Peru. Key words: entomology, taxonomy, Andes, Colombia, Corderopedaliodes buda n. sp., C. lu- zangelae n. sp., C. pandates olivieri n. ssp., ductus bursae, female genitalia, pedunculus, Peru, Physcopedaliodes physcoa, Pronophilina, taxonomy, transtilla.

  • Description of a New Species of Forsterinaria Gray from the Pantepuy (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)
    Genus Vol. 22(3): 523-530 Wrocław, 30 XI 2011 Description of a new species of Forsterinaria GRAY from the Pantepuy (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) ANNA ZUBEK1 & TOMASZ W. PYRCZ2 Zoological Museum of the Jagiellonian University, Ingardena 6, 30-060 Kraków, Poland, 1anna_zubek@ hotmail.com; [email protected] ABSTRACT. A new species of montane butterfly,Forsterinaria hannieri n. sp. (Nympha- lidae, Satyrinae) is described from the Guyana Shield in Venezuela. It is most similar to F. inornata (C. FELDER & R. FELDER, 1867) known from western slopes of the Andes in Colombia and Ecuador, but it shows unequivocal differences, especially in the male genital morphology. Key words: Euptychiina, Forsterinaria, new species, Pantepuy, taxonomy, Venezuela. INTRODUCTION The subfamily Satyrinae (Nymphalidae) is one of the most diverse groups of but- terflies, including about 2500 species, and at least 120 genera and over 1100 species in the neotropical realm. Neotropical satyrines are generally divided into three major groups, Euptychiini, Pronophilini and Haeterini, attributed tribal or subtribal ranks depending on the author (LAMAS et al. 2004, PYRCZ 2004). Montane satyrines of the neotropical realm belong mostly to the Pronophilini (PYRCZ, 2004). The tribe Eupty- chiini, comprising 41 genera (VILORIA 2003), is mostly lowland and premontane. The only strictly montane genus of the Euptychiini is Forsterinaria GRAY (1973) which is the subject of this paper. Montane butterfly fauna of the cloud forests of the Guyana Shield in southern Venezuela, referred to by a biogeographical term of Pantepuy, can be characterized as species poor compared to the Andes but, at the same time, as rich in endemics (NEILD 2008).
