  • 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).

    NOTES ON THE LIFE CYCLE AND NATURAL HISTORY OF DISMORPHIA YIRGO (LEPIDOPTERA: PIERIDAE: DISMORPHIINAE) IN COSTA RICA* By ALLEN VI. Yovo Department of Biology, Lawrence University Appleton, Wisconsin 549I This paper summarizes the lie cycle and some aspects o natural history o the tropical pierid, Dismorphia virgo (Dismorphiinae) in Costa Rica. The precise taxonomic status o the butterfly in Central America has not been established, and it may represent a variable northern isolate o the common South American D. critomedia. Theretore, independent ot whether the Central American torm dis- cussed in this paper has achieved ull species status as the more north- ern virgo or is a subspecies or variety o critomedia, evolving to- wards species status, this paper provides new information on the biol- ogy ot the butterfly in Costa Rica. The establishment ot precise taxonomic position awaits turther study, and or the present purpose, I reter to the butterfly as D. virgo. /ETHODS Field observations were conducted during June-September I971 at two localities in the central Cordillera ("Meseta Central") o Costa Rica: (I) Bajo la Hondura (San Jos Province) on the Pacific side, and (2) Cuesta Angel (Heredia Province) on the Caribbean side. Both localities are characterized by montane tropical wet torest (8oo-Iooo m elev.). Observations, including searches or larval host plants, were made in orest clearings associated with paths and river edges. A total o] 32 days were spent in ield observation at Bajo la Hondura and 27 days were spent at Cuesta Angel; both localities were never visited the same day. Since many days were spent study- ing D.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Butterflies of Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State
    AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA: RHOPALOCERA) OF BENTSEN-RIO GRANDE STATE VALLEY PARK AND VICINITY JUNE, 1974 Published by TEXAS PARKS & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT BENTSEN-RIO GRANDE VALLEY STATE PARK P.O. 30X 988; MISSION, TEXAS 78572 INTRODUCTION The species listed here in are primarily a result of the collecting by the authors during the period 1972-1973. Certain important records of the previous several years are also included. Additionally, the checklist incorporates records of a number of other lepidopterists. The primary focus of the checklist, then, is upon recent collecting, rather than being an attempt to list all known records from the Mid-Valley area. All lepidopterists collecting in the park and vicinity are urged to send copies of their records to the authors and/or the park authorities. A number of species on the list have been taken in Hidalgo Co. but not yet within the actual confines of the park; the annotations will indicate which species these are. Some of these have been taken at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, approximately thirty miles down river, in habitats similar to those within the park. Others have been taken within several miles of the park, in nearby towns and along roadsides. These species can be reasonably expected to occur in the park, and their inclusion upon this list should alert the collector to their possible presence. The annotations have been kept necessarily brief. They are intended to aid the visiting lepidopterist in evaluating the significance of his catches. Local larval food plants are given where known. Much, however, is still to be learned regarding the life histories of even some of the commoner species.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT. External morphology of the adult of Dynamine postverta (Cramer) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Biblidinae) and patterns of morphological similarity among species from eight tribes of Nymphalidae. The external structure of the integument of Dynamine postverta postverta (Cramer, 1779) is based on detailed morphological drawings and scanning electron microscopy. The data are compared with other species belonging to eight tribes of Nymphalidae, to assist future studies on the taxonomy and systematics of Neotropical Biblidinae. KEYWORDS. Abdomen; head; Insecta; morphology; Papilionoidea; thorax. Nymphalidae is a large cosmopolitan family of butter- served in dorsal view (Figs. 1–4). Two subspecies are recog- flies, with about 7,200 described species (Freitas & Brown nized according to Lamas (2004), Dynamine postverta Jr. 2004) and is perhaps the most well documented biologi- postverta (Cramer, 1779) distributed in South America and cally (Harvey 1991; Freitas & Brown Jr. 2004; Wahlberg et Dynamine postverta mexicana d’Almeida, 1952 with a dis- al. 2005). The systematic relationships are still somewhat tribution restricted to Central America. Several species sur- unclear with respect to its subfamilies, tribes and genera, and veys and other studies cite this species as Dynamine mylitta even after more than a century of studies on these groups, (DeVries 1987; Mielke 1994; Miller et al.1999; Freitas & these relationships still seem to confuse many who set out to Brown, Jr.

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.

  • (Lepidoptera) of the Tuxtlas Mts., Veracruz, Mexico, Revisited: Species-Richness and Habitat Disturbance
    29(1-2):105-133,Journal of Research 1990(91) on the Lepidoptera 29(1-2):105-133, 1990(91) 105 The Butterflies (Lepidoptera) of the Tuxtlas Mts., Veracruz, Mexico, Revisited: Species-Richness and Habitat Disturbance. 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.

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.

  • Notes on the Life Cycle and Natural History of Butterflies of El Salvador Iii C
    Jou",al of the Le pidopterists' Society 33(2), 1979, 112-123 NOTES ON THE LIFE CYCLE AND NATURAL HISTORY OF BUTTERFLIES OF EL SALVADOR III C. HISTORIS ODIUS AND COEA ACHERONTA (NYMPHALIDAE-COLOBURINAE) ALBERT MUYSHONDT, JR. AND ALBERTO MUYSHONDT 101 Avenida Norte #322, San Salvador, El Salvador ABSTRACT. A complete photo-illustrated report on the early stages of Historis odius (Fabricius) and a partial of Coea acheronta (Fabricius) are presented, which reveals similarities between the two species suggesting a very close relationship. Both species utilize the same foodplant in El Salvador, Cecropia mexicana (Moraceae), whose close relative, C. peltata, has been reported as foodplant in Brazil by some authors under the vernacular name "Embauba." The placement of these two species in the Coloburini is questioned and some striking larval similarities with Smyrna blomfildia and S. karwinskii (both also questionably placed in the Coloburini) and with Pycina zelis (placed among the Vanesiini) are pOinted out. Larvae of Historis odius are subject to heavy parasitization mostly by tachinid flies and one case of nematode parasitization, (Mermis sp.), is recorded. Historis odius is by far more abundant in El Salvador than Coea acheronta and covers a wider range of altitudes. This article presents information on the life cycles and natural histories of the two largest species of butterflies included in the Coloburini: Historis odius (Fabricius) and Coea acheronta (Fabricius).1 The first time we saw the eggs of Historis odius was 6 October 1970 when our good friend Viktor Hellebuyck captured and papered a female. Some 15 eggs were deposited by the female while still alive inside the envelope.

  • Description and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Calycopidina (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Theclinae, Eumaeini): a Subtribe of Detritivores
    Description and phylogenetic analysis of the Calycopidina 45 Description and phylogenetic analysis of the Calycopidina (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Theclinae, Eumaeini): a subtribe of detritivores Marcelo Duarte1 & Robert K.

[email protected] 2National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, P. O. Box 37012, NHB Stop 105, Washington, DC 20013–7012 USA. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Description and phylogenetic analysis of the Calycopidina (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Theclinae, Eumaeini): a subtribe of detritivores. The purpose of this paper is to establish a phylogenetic basis for a new Eumaeini subtribe that includes those lycaenid genera in which detritivory has been recorded. Morphological characters were coded for 82 species of the previously proposed “Lamprospilus Section” of the Eumaeini (19 of these had coding identical to another species), and a phylogenetic analysis was performed using the 63 distinct ingroup terminal taxa and six outgroups belonging to four genera. Taxonomic results include the description in the Eumaeini of Calycopidina Duarte & Robbins new subtribe (type genus Calycopis Scudder, 1876), which contains Lamprospilus Geyer, Badecla Duarte & Robbins new genus (type species Thecla badaca Hewitson), Arzecla Duarte & Robbins new genus (type species Thecla arza Hewitson), Arumecla Robbins & Duarte, Camissecla Robbins & Duarte, Electrostrymon Clench, Rubroserrata K. Johnson & Kroenlein revalidated status, Ziegleria K. Johnson, Kisutam K. Johnson & Kroenlein revalidated status, and Calycopis. Previous “infratribe” names Angulopina K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993, and Calycopina K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993, are nomenclaturally unavailable and polyphyletic as proposed. New combinations include Badecla badaca (Hewitson), Badecla picentia (Hewitson), Badecla quadramacula (Austin & K.
