New species and subspecies of D elias Hübner , [1819] from the central mountain range of Irian Jaya, Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) 21 ©Entomologisches Museum Dr. Ulf Eitschberger, download unter www.zobodat.at ©Entomologisches Museum Dr. Ulf Eitschberger, download unter www.zobodat.at Vorwort Wollte man die Schmetterlinge nach ihrer Schönheit wichten, dann stünden die meisten Vertreter der Gattung D elias Hübner mit ganz oben in der Schönheitsskala. Diese Arten sind jedoch nicht nur schön - sie sind auch unglaublich interessant, was deren Spezialisierung, Differenzierung und Ver­ breitung anbelangt. Leider ist jedoch von den meisten Taxa die Biologie noch unerforscht und völlig unbekannt, so daß zu deren Unterscheidung lediglich die phaenotypischen wie morphologischen Studien übrig bleiben. Diesem zum Trotz tun die „Staatsvertreter“ weiterhin alles, um die letzten Naturräume und Naturreserven zu zerstören und prangern im gleichen Atemzug die Entmologen als die Verursacher des Artenschwunds an! Das veranlaßte diese „Menschen“ sogar dazu, sich, Dank staatlich verliehener Macht, sei es nun in zentralistischen Gesellschaften oder in Pseudodemokra­ tien, über die Menschenwürde und die freie Entwicklung des Individuums, unter dem Verbot die freie Forschung ausüben zu können, mit Hilfe einer „Artenschutzgesetzgebung“ hinweg zu setzen. Die Großgattung Delias Hübner ist in der indoaustralischen Region verbreitet, wobei alle Arten der „typischen" Delias Hbn . praktisch nur auf der Insel Neuguinea (Irian Jaya mit Papua Neu Guinea) und auf den dieser Insel vorgelagerten, kleineren Inseln Vorkommen. Manche Arten sind auf der Hauptinsel weit verbreitet, andere in kleineren Populationen in disjunkten Arealen über die Insel verteilt, andere wiederum sind nur von einer einzigen Lokalität bisher bekannt geworden. Ich persönlich bin sehr stolz, im Band 38 der NEN, die folgenden beiden Arbeiten Hvonenk van Mastrigt veröffentlichen zu können.Henk van Mastrigt , jetzt 50 Jahre alt, ein Mann des holländi­ schen Franziskaner-Ordens und in dessen Diensten seit 1983 in Irian Jaya tätig, natürlich auch dort die Delias erforschend, habe ich quasi mit dem Nachlaß, bestehend aus der Literatur, der Korre­ spondenz und aller anderen Aufzeichnungen des verstorbenen FreundesE duardDr. Johannes Reissinger (E itschberger , 1991) erworben und zum Freund gewonnen. Mir oblag es damals auch, Henk van Mastrigt vom Tod des gemeinsamen Freundes zu benachrich­ tigen, hatten beide doch einige Jahre vor dessen Tod begonnen, beiD elias Hbn . zu kooperieren. Reissinger selbst hatte bereits damit begonnen, einen „Bildatlas“ der Gattung D elias s. I. zu erstel­ len, in dem alle verfügbaren Typen und Typoide aus staatlichen und privaten Sammlungen veröffent­ licht werden sollten. Hierbei sollte die GroßgattungD elias Hbn . auch in kleinere Gattungen unterteilt werden. Mit Henk van Mastrigts und Dr.P eter Küppers Hilfe hoffe ich, daß diese Arbeit Reissin ­ gers doch eines Tages veröffentlicht werden kann. Henk van Mastrigt weilte vom 17.-22.IX. 1994 erstmals für wenige Tage bei mir und meiner Familie und arbeitet in meinem Museum. In dieser Zeit arbeiteten wir sehr intensiv und Hmitenks Hilfe konnte dieD elias -Sammlung im EMEM fast vollständig geordnet und aufgebaut werden. Inzwischen konnte auch in diese Sammlung die bedeutende Sammlung von PDr.eter Küppers weitgehend mit eingegliedert werden und die dazugehörigen Tütenfalterbestände, zumeist aus dem Jahr 1976 aus Irian Jaya und PNG stammend, aufpräpariert und gleichfalls eingeordnet werden. Somit umfaßt die D elias -Sammlung des EMEM bereits über 100 Kästen, mit weit über 10.000 Belegtieren. Den Abonnenten der NEN möchte ich an dieser Stelle ganz herzlich für die über jetzt nun schon viele Jahre gehende Treue danken und dafür, daß die NEN nur durch sie/Sie in weiteren 19 Bänden erscheinen konnte. Ich bin mir bewußt, daß einige mit manchen, in der NEN veröffentlichten Themen wenig anzufangen wissen, da diese nichts mit dem eigenen Interessensgebiet zu tun haben. Um so höher ist ihre/lhre Opferbereitschaft einzuschätzen, etwas zu finanzieren, von dem für sie/Sie per­ sönlich kaum ein persönlicher Nutzen herausspringt. Aber gerade diese Opferbereitschaft ist drin­ gender denn je notwendig, um überhaupt noch die entomologische Forschung am Leben zu halten, wirken sich die verbrecherischen Gesetzgebungen doch heute bereits sehr drastisch im Mangel an Nachwuchskräften aus. Die Generation an „alten“ Entomologen vor mir stirbt jetzt langsam aus; für etliche von ihnen blieb mir schon die Pflicht auferlegt, einen Nachruf zu verfassen. Die Entomologen meiner Generation, und die um ein bis zwei Jahrzehnte jüngeren oder älteren Kollegen, wir stehen jetzt an der Front. Sollte es uns nicht gelingen, durch massiven Einsatz gemeinsam zu erreichen, daß die uns strangulierenden Gesetze geändert werden, dann wird es bald mit der Entomologie ©Entomologisches Museum Dr. Ulf Eitschberger, download unter www.zobodat.at vorbei sein. Die staaltlichen wie öffentlichen Sammlungen, jetzt bereits mit Personal weit unterbe­ setzt, werden alle zugrunde gehen. Und da aus der PC-Software, und Bücher werden dadurch jetzt schon unmodern, kaum Schmetterlinge, Käfer, Hummeln, Fliegen oder andere Kreaturen springen, wird sich in zwei bis drei Jahrzehnten kaum einer mehr an diese Geschöpfe erinnern. Die Lehrpläne an den Schulen und Universitäten sind ja bereits heute schon so insuffizient (es soll ja auch nur eine Negativselektion stattfinden), daß viele Schulkinder, nach der Farbe einer Kuh befragt, erklärten: „Die ist lila“, in Folge der Fernsehwerbung mit der lilafarbigen „Milka-Kuh" (solche geistigen Krüppel heranzubilden und eine derartige Umfrage in Auftrag zu geben, ohne Scham dabei zu empfinden, kann sich nur Deutschland leisten). Durch die Unwissenheit, Dummheit und das Halbwissen (das noch schlimmer und gefährlicher ist als die Dummheit) wird die Intoleranz und Feindseligkeit, ver­ bunden mit offenen Agressionen, der Bevölkerung gegenüber den sammelnden Entomologen im­ mer größer.

G. Talbot. Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries CATALOGUE OF THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPIDOPTERA RHOPALOCERA IN THE HILL MUSEUM. By A. G. GABRIEL, F.E.S. INTRODUCTION BY G. TALBOT. It is important to know exactly where type specimens are to be found. The British Museum set an example by publishing catalogues of some of their Rhopalocera types, and we hope this will be continued. Mr. Gabriel, who was responsible for that work, has been asked by Mr. Joicey to prepare a catalogue for the Hill Museum. The original description of almost every name in this catalogue has been examined for the correct reference, and where the sex or habitat was wrongly quoted, the necessary correction has been made.

  • Colourful Butterfly Wings: Scale Stacks, Iridescence and Sexual Dichromatism of Pieridae Doekele G
    158 entomologische berichten 67(5) 2007 Colourful butterfly wings: scale stacks, iridescence and sexual dichromatism of Pieridae Doekele G. Stavenga Hein L. Leertouwer KEY WORDS Coliadinae, Pierinae, scattering, pterins Entomologische Berichten 67 (5): 158-164 The colour of butterflies is determined by the optical properties of their wing scales. The main scale structures, ridges and crossribs, scatter incident light. The scales of pierid butterflies have usually numerous pigmented beads, which absorb light at short wavelengths and enhance light scattering at long wavelengths. Males of many species of the pierid subfamily Coliadinae have ultraviolet-iridescent wings, because the scale ridges are structured into a multilayer reflector. The iridescence is combined with a yellow or orange-brown colouration, causing the common name of the subfamily, the yellows or sulfurs. In the subfamily Pierinae, iridescent wing tips are encountered in the males of most species of the Colotis-group and some species of the tribe Anthocharidini. The wing tips contain pigments absorbing short-wavelength light, resulting in yellow, orange or red colours. Iridescent wings are not found among the Pierini. The different wing colours can be understood from combinations of wavelength-dependent scattering, absorption and iridescence, which are characteristic for the species and sex. Introduction often complex and as yet poorly understood optical phenomena The colour of a butterfly wing depends on the interaction of encountered in lycaenids and papilionids. The Pieridae have light with the material of the wing and its spatial structure. But- two main subfamilies: Coliadinae and Pierinae. Within Pierinae, terfly wings consist of a wing substrate, upon which stacks of the tribes Pierini and Anthocharidini are distinguished, together light-scattering scales are arranged.

  • The Negros Ark: a Hypothesis the Systematics and Biogeography of Rhopalocera (Lepidoptera) in the Philippines
    REVIEW PAPER | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology The Negros Ark: A Hypothesis The systematics and biogeography of Rhopalocera (Lepidoptera) in the Philippines Jade Aster T. Badon* ABSTRACT Current distributional data on Philippine butterflies suggests that colonization and exchange of species between Luzon and Mindanao are hypothesized to have occurred during the Miocene Epoch (23-5.3 million years ago). Species from the families Pieridae, Hesperiidae, and Zygaenidae were set as an example to explain some disjunction of distribution of some species in the archipelago. The hypothesis will definitely become an interest in the field of biogeographical and phylogenetic studies in the country. KEYWORDS: butterfly, colonization, biogeography INTRODUCTION that the genus Delias (Hübner 1819) originated in Australia (Braby & Pierce 2006), and the genus also likely to have Baltazar (1991) published the first checklist of Philippine colonized neighboring islands during the early Miocene (23- butterflies which provided island distribution, while Treadaway 5.3 million years ago) (Figure 1f) and reached the Wallacea and Schroeder (2012) published a revised edition which also (Müller et al. 2012).

Abstract. We study the systematics and evolutionary history of the Afrotropical butterfly genus Mylothris (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on six gene regions (COI, EF1a, GAPDH, MDH, RpS5 and wingless). We find that the genus can be placed into five species groups, termed thejacksoni , elodina, rhodope, agathina and hila- ra groups. Within these species groups, we find that many species show very little genetic differentiation based on the markers we sequenced, suggesting they have undergone rapid and recent speciation. Based on second- ary calibrations, we estimate the age of the crown group of Mylothris to be about 16 million years old, but that many of the species level divergences have happened in the Pleistocene. We infer that the clade has its origin in the forests of the Eastern part of Central Africa, and has spread out from there to other regions of Africa. Introduction Studies on the systematics of Afrotropical butterflies using molecular data have been increasing in number in the past decade (Kodandaramaiah and Wahlberg 2007; Aduse-Poku et al.
