    Butterflies and Vegetation in Restored Gullies of Different Ages at the Colombian Western Andes*

    BOLETÍN CIENTÍFICO ISSN 0123 - 3068 bol.cient.mus.hist.nat. 14 (2): 169 - 186 CENTRO DE MUSEOS MUSEO DE HISTORIA NATURAL BUTTERFLIES AND VEGETATION IN RESTORED GULLIES OF DIFFERENT AGES AT THE COLOMBIAN WESTERN ANDES* Oscar Ascuntar-Osnas1, Inge Armbrecht1 & Zoraida Calle2 Abstract Erosion control structures made with green bamboo Guadua angustifolia and high density plantings have been combined efficiently for restoring gullies in the Andean hillsides of Colombia. However, the effects of these practices on the native fauna have not been evaluated. Richness and abundance of diurnal lepidopterans were studied between 2006-2007 in five 10 m2 transects within each of eight gullies. Four gullies restored using the method mentioned above (6, 9, 12 and 23 months following intervention), each with its corresponding control (unrestored gully) were sampled four times with a standardized method. A vegetation inventory was done at each gully. More individuals and species (971, 84 respectively) were found in the restored gullies than in the control ones (501, 66). The number of butterfly species tended to increase with rehabilitation time. Ten plant species, out of 59, were important sources of nectar for lepidopterans. Larval parasitoids were also found indicating the presence of trophic chains in the study area. This paper describes the rapid and positive response of diurnal adult butterflies to habitat changes associated with ecological rehabilitation of gullies through erosion control structures and high density planting. Introducing and maintaining a high biomass and diversity of plants may help to reestablish the food chain and ecological processes in degraded Andean landscapes. Key words: ecological restoration, erosion control, Guadua angustifolia, Lepidoptera, nectar.

The immature stages (eggs, larvae and pupae), oviposition and larval behavior of Altinote ozomene (Godart, 1819) are described here for the first time. Larvae were reared from egg clutches collected from the host plants Erato vulcanica (Klatt) H.Rob and Munnozia senecionidis Benth (Asteraceae). Eggs were laid in groups on the undersides of leaves. The number of instars varied from five to eight within the same egg clutch, and the corresponding development time from larva to adult varied from 91 to 115 days. Most (72%) larvae pupated during the sixth instar. The first four instars fed only on the leaf cuticle, whereas later instars consumed the whole leaf. Larvae were gregarious during all instars but rested together only during the day in later instars, either hidden inside dry leaves, on the stem at the base of the host plants, or in the leaf litter. Larvae showed similar morphology and behavior to those previously described for species of Actinote Hübner, 1819 from southeastern Brazil and the Andes. KEY WORDS.

Continuing with comparative genomic exploration of worldwide butterfly fauna, we use all protein- coding genes as they are retrieved from the whole genome shotgun sequences for phylogeny construction. Analysis of these genome-scale phylogenies projected onto the taxonomic classification and the knowledge about butterfly phenotypes suggests further refinements of butterfly taxonomy that are presented here. As a general rule, we assign most prominent clades of similar genetic differentiation to the same taxonomic rank, and use criteria based on relative population diversification and the extent of gene exchange for species delimitation. As a result, 7 tribes, 4 subtribes, 14 genera, and 9 subgenera are proposed as new, i.e., in subfamily Pierinae Swainson, 1820: Calopierini Grishin, trib. n. (type genus Calopieris Aurivillius, 1898); in subfamily Riodininae Grote, 1895: Callistiumini Grishin, trib. n.

We explored the biogeographic history of the genus using every known non-African species, with several African species as outgroup taxa. A phylogenetic hypothesis is proposed, based on molecular characters of the mitochondrial genes cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and NADH dehydrogenase 5 (ND5), and the nuclear wingless gene. Phylogenetic analyses based on maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference of the combined dataset implies that the Indo-Pacific Charaxes form a monophyletic assemblage, with the exception of Charaxes solon Fabricius. Eight major lineages are recognized in the Indo-Pacific, here designated the solon (+African), elwesi, harmodius, amycus, mars, eurialus, latona, nitebis, and bernardus clades. Species group relationships are concordant with morphology and, based on the phylogeny, we present the first systematic appraisal and classification of all non-African species. A biogeographical analysis reveals that, after the genus originated in Africa, the evolutionary history of Charaxes in the Indo-Pacific, in particular Wallacea, may be correlated with the inferred geological and climatic history of the region.

Resumen - Los estados inmaduros y comportamiento de Actinote callianthe amoena Jordan, 1913, son descritos aquí por primera vez. Las larvas fueron cultivadas en laboratorio a partir de huevos colectados en campo en la planta hospedera Oligactes volubilis (Kunth) Cass (Asteraceae). Los huevos y las larvas son gregarias, excepto en el último y penúltimo instar. La morfología y el comportamiento de las larvas es similar a las especies descritas previamente, Actinote ozomene (Godart, 1819), Actinote trinacria cf. unicolor Talbot, 1932, de los Andes norteños y varias especies de Actinote Hübner, 1819 del sudeste del Brasil. No se hallaron caracteres morfológicos o de comportamiento que permitan reconocer dos géneros de Acraeini Neotropicales, Altinote Potts, 1943, y Actinote. Palabras Clave: Oligactes volubilis, inmaduros, comportamiento, Acraeini, Actinote. Abstract - The immature stages and behavior of Actinote callianthe amoena Jordan, 1913, are described here for the first time. Larvae were reared from egg clutches collected from the host plant Oligactes volubilis (Kunth) Cass (Asteraceae).

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract A new species of Cyllopsis R. Felder, 1869, is described and illustrated from the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. Cyllopsis tomemmeli A. Warren & Nakahara, sp. nov., is currently known from 13 specimens (9 males and 4 females) collected on March 26–28, 1959, southeast of San Cristóbal de Las Casas. Despite extensive studies on the butterfly fauna of this re- gion, this species has not since been encountered. We discuss possible relationships between this new species and other species of Cyllopsis.
