  • Contrasting Patterns of Karyotype and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Lepidoptera
    School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice Faculty of Science Contrasting patterns of karyotype and sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera Ph.D. Thesis Mgr. Jindra Šíchová Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. František Marec, CSc. Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Entomology České Budějovice 2016 This thesis should be cited as: Šíchová J (2016) Contrasting patterns of karyotype and sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera. Ph.D. Thesis. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 91 pp. Annotation It is known that chromosomal rearrangements play an important role in speciation by limiting gene flow within and between species. Furthermore, this effect may be enhanced by involvement of sex chromosomes that are known to undergo fast evolution compared to autosomes and play a special role in speciation due to their engagement in postzygotic reproductive isolation. The work presented in this study uses various molecular- genetic and cytogenetic techniques to describe karyotype and sex chromosome evolution of two groups of Lepidoptera, namely selected representatives of the family Tortricidae and Leptidea wood white butterflies of the family Pieridae. The acquired knowledge points to unexpected evolutionary dynamics of lepidopteran karyotypes including the presence of derived neo-sex chromosome systems that originated as a result of chromosomal rearrangements. We discuss the significance of these findings for radiation and subsequent speciation of both lepidopteran groups.

Summary Synonymical notes on several genera and species of Tortricidae are given. Stenop- teron, a new Cnephasiini genus is described. Phtheochroa undulata (Danilevskij, 1962), comb. n. This species was described on the basis of a single female from Central Asia (Dshungarian Ala-Tau). A specimen collected by Dr. Z. Kaszab, Buda- pest, in Mongolia (Gobi Altai aimak : Baga nuuryn urd els, 1200 m., 12.VII.1966) has almost identical wing markings as the holotype of undu- lata. Its male genitalia (Figs 1, 2) are characterised as follows. Uncus fairly short, tapering terminally ; socius broad, sublateral ; sacculus strong, ven- trally convex, with long subapical process ; median part of transtilla so- mewhat expanded dorsally, without any spines ; aedeagus as in Ph. pulvillana (H.-S.), but distal process of juxta absent. The described specimen is most probably conspecific with undulata. Acleris kuznetsovi nom. n. Croesia 6/co/orKuzNETSOV, 1964, Ent.

The females have reduced wings and cannot fly. However, a study of material from the known ränge of the species has shown that "Sphaleroptera alpi- colana" is really a complex of several taxa. S. alpicolana s.str. oecurs in the central part of the Alps, in Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany. A new subspecies, S. a. buseri ssp.n. is described from the Valais (Switzerland). Four new species are described, based on distinet differences in the male and female genitalia: S. occiclentana sp.n., S. adamel- loi sp.n.. S. dentana sp.n. and .S'. orientana sp.n., with the subspecies S. o. suborientana. Distribution maps are giv- en for all taxa and where known, the early stages and life histories are described. The role of the Pleistocene glacia- tions in the speciation process is discussed.
