  • 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.

  • IN EASTERN COSTA RICA Taygetis Andromeda (Cramer)
    Journal of the Lepidoptertsts' Society 38(2), 1984, 102-113 NATURAL HISTORY NOTES FOR TAYGETIS ANDROMEDA (CRAMER) (SATYRIDAE) IN EASTERN COSTA RICA ALLEN M. YOUNG Invertebrate Zoology Section, Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233 ABSTRACT. The early stages and a larval food plant are reported for the first time for Taygetis andromeda (Cramer), as studied in eastern Costa Rica. Various aspects of larval and adult behavior, including feeding and egg-placement, are also discussed for this widespread Central American satyrid. The larval food plant is a grass, Acroceras zizanioides (Graminae). Taygetis andromeda (Cramer) is a common butterfly (Fig. 1) of forest and old secondary habitats from 0 to 1500 m on the Pacific and Caribbean watersheds of Costa Rica (A. M. Young, pers. obs.; P. J. DeVries, pers. comm.). The butterfly is also widespread throughout much of Central America and South America. It is one of four species of Taygetis reported from Central America, along with different species in Mexico, Central America, and South America which often exhibit distinctive patterns of range separation by habitat and elevation (Ross, 1976; Ebert, 1969; Lamas, 1967; P. J. DeVries, pers. comm.). While some fragmentary information on the early stages of South American Taygetis other than andromeda exist (Muller, 1886; d' Almeida, 1922), the present paper constitutes the first report of early stages and larval food plant for T. andromeda. METHODS The majority of observations were made at two localities on the Caribbean or Atlantic watershed of eastern Costa Rica: "Finca La Tigra," near La Virgen (lO0 2S'N, 84°07'W; 220 m elev.), Heredia Prov­ ince (described as "premontane tropical wet forest"); "Finca Experi­ mental La Lola," near Siquirres (100 06'N, 8soS0'W; SO m elev.), Limon Province (described as "lowland tropical wet forest").

  • Nymphalidae: Euptychiina)
    FREITAS: Immature stages of Taygetis acuta TROP. LEPID. RES., 27(1): 1-5, 2017 1 Immature stages of the Neotropical satyrine butterfly Taygetis acuta (Nymphalidae: Euptychiina) André Victor Lucci Freitas1,2 1 Departamento de Biologia Animal, Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, SP, Brazil 2 Museu de Zoologia, Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, SP, Brazil Abstract. The present paper describes the immature stages of the Neotropical satyrine butterflyTaygetis acuta Weymer, 1910. The solitary eggs are greenish white and round. The immature stages of T. acuta are morphologically similar to those of other species of the “Taygetis virgilia (Cramer, 1776) group”, with the last instar having elongate dorsal markings resembling the yellowish- bordered, elongate blotches caused by fungus on bamboo leaves, suggesting that camouflage could be involved. The pupa is short and smooth and entirely green, with short ocular caps. Larvae passed through four solitary instars and fed on bamboo (Poaceae) offered to them in the laboratory, with the natural hostplant still unknown. Resumo. O present trabalho descreve os estágios imaturos do satiríneo Neotropical Taygetis acuta Weymer, 1910. Os ovos são branco esverdeados, arredondados e isolados. Os imaturos de T. acuta são morfologicamente similares àqueles de outras espécies do “grupo Taygetis virgilia (Cramer, 1776)”, com o último instar apresentando marcas dorsais alongadas alusivas às manchas alongadas com bordas amarelas causadas por fungos nas folhas de bambus, sugerindo que camuflagem pode estar envolvida. A pupa é curta e lisa, inteira verde, com capas oculares curtas. As larvas passam por quatro instares solitários e se alimentam em bambus (Poaceae) oferecidos em laboratório; a planta hospedeira na natureza é desconhecida.

  • Diversidad Y Composición De Mariposas (Lepidoptera: Morphinae Y Satyrinae) De Los Varillales En La Reserva Nacional Allpahuayo Mishana, Loreto, Perú*
    BOLETÍN CIENTÍFICO bol.cient.mus.hist.nat. 25 (1), enero-junio, 2021. 177-190. ISSN: 0123-3068 (Impreso) ISSN: 2462-8190 (En línea) CENTRO DE MUSEOS MUSEO DE HISTORIA NATURAL Diversidad y composición de mariposas (Lepidoptera: Morphinae y Satyrinae) de los varillales en la Reserva Nacional Allpahuayo Mishana, Loreto, Perú* Joel Vásquez-Bardales1, Johnny Callirgos-Bardales2, Ricardo Zárate-Gómez3, Juan José Ramírez-Hernandez4, Julio Pinedo-Jiménez5, Alberto García-Ruiz6, Heiter Valderrama-Freyre7, Tedi Pacheco-Gómez8, Rodil Tello-Espinoza9 Resumen Introducción. Las mariposas son indicadores ecológicos muy sensibles a los cambios ambientales; el inventario de sus comunidades es una herramienta válida para conocer el estado de conservación o alteración de su hábitat. Objetivos. Evaluar la diversidad y composición de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Morphinae y Satyrinae) en los Varíllales de la Reserva Nacional Allpahuayo Mishana (RNAM), Perú. Metodología. Los muestreos fueron realizados de enero a diciembre del 2015. En un Varillal alto y bajo a lo largo de 7 transectos de 25 m, las mariposas fueron atraídas con cebos de frutas fermentadas y capturadas con una red entomológica, durante 1 semana de cada mes; con recolectas diarias en el trascurso de la mañana y la tarde. Resultados. Se registraron un total de 2662 individuos, incluidos en 38 especies y 16 géneros, siendo las especies más abundantes Pierella lena, Pierella lamia y Cithaerias pireta aurorina dentro de los Satyrinae; y en los Morphinae figuran Morpho helenor y Caligo eurilochus. Entre las especies comerciales, resaltan Morpho menelaus, M. helenor, Caligo idomeneus, C. eurilochus, C. pireta aurorina y Haetera piera negra. Alcance. La mayor riqueza de especies se encontró en el Varillal alto y albergan varias especies de alto valor para fines de educación ambiental y bionegocios.
