  • 1968 a TAXONOMIC LIST of PHILATELIC LEPIDOPTERA Many
    1968 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 241 A TAXONOMIC LIST OF PHILATELIC LEPIDOPTERA SIDNEY A. HESSEL Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, New Haven, Conn. Many lepidopterists are also philatelists. This includes professional entomologists, some of whom are those actually responsible as insti­ gators or consultants for the many butterfly and moth postage stamps that have of late years appeared around the world. The first philatelic lepidopteran was issued in 1890 as an ornament in the hair of Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani. Although one may speculate that it is the beautiful Vanessa tameamea Esch., it was not until 1930 when Lebanon honored the silk industry that a definitely determinable species was depicted. Stylized figures had appeared in the interval. In these instances the insects were, of course, incidental. Sarawak in 1950 was the first with nomenclature, Troides brookiana Wallace, which was figured unicolorous gray. It remained for the Swiss Pro Juventute issue of 1950 to honor the insect exclusively and in full color. This was largely the work of Dr. Loeliger, a member of our Society until his death and an important force in the Pro Juventute youth movement. The issue was accompanied by a brochure about the insects and was a most noteworthy effort towards stimulation of interest in Lepidoptera in that country. From this beginning, at first slowly, but with accelerated frequency, over 65 countries have "honored" species of Lepidoptera by 310 butterfly and 115 moth stamps, a total of 425 major varieties by the end of 1966. These embrace 248 species divided 181 and 67 respectively between butterflies and moths.

RESUMEN: Se determina e interpreta la composición de especies y patrones espaciales de mariposas y libélulas en seis áreas de humedales al sur de las provincias de Artemisa y Mayabeque, Cuba Centro Occidental. Cuatro de las localidades se ubicaron a través del Dique Sur. Se observaron 41 especies de mariposas y 20 de libélulas. La representatividad de especies con relación al total nacional para cada grupo fue de 22 % y 23 % respectivamente. Las mariposas exhibieron conectancia espacial (47 %) superior a la de las libélulas (35 %). La disimilitud en la composición de especies entre sitios resultó elevada en ambos grupos. La vía hacia Playa Mayabeque fue la localidad más conectada en mariposas y el tramo del Dique Sur asociado a Playa Majana fue la de mayor conectividad para las libélulas. El patrón espacial resultó anidado de manera significativa en mariposas y aleatorio en libélulas. Entre las mariposas se distingue un núcleo definido de especies generalistas de hábitats. Las especies más abundantes de mariposas fueron Anartia jatrophae, Ascia monuste y Phoebis sennae.

  • Life Cycle and Ethological Notes on Memphis Verticodia Echemus (Nymphalidae: Charaxinae: Anaeini). Estado Actual: Inicio. Dificu
    Life cycle and ethological notes on Memphis verticodia echemus (Nymphalidae: Charaxinae: Anaeini). Autor: Joel Lastra Valdés. Estado actual: Inicio. Dificultades: Es una especie rara y se requiere trabajo de campo para concluirlo. Abstract: On this study, we describe for the first time the immature stages of Memphis verticodia echemus: eggs, larval instars, prepupa, and pupa. Morfometrics means of each stage are given. We also report notes on feeding patterns and oviposition. Keywords: Memphis, Croton, Charaxinae, Anaeini, larval shelters, immature stages. Introducción. Memphis verticodia echemus (Nymphalidae: Charaxinae: Anaeini) está distribuida en Cuba, Las Bahamas (Islas New Providence y Andros) e Islas Caimán (Smith et al., 1994). Utiliza como planta hospedera a Croton lucidus (Gundlach, 1881) de la misma forma que Burca b. braco. Sin embargo, aún se desconocen los estadios inmaduros de esta especie (Smith et al., 1994). Con este estudio se pretende describir por primera vez los estadios inmaduros para la especie y proveer notas conductuales referentes a los refugios larvales y oviposición. Materiales y Métodos Se seguirá una metodología similar a la empleada en el estudio de Aguna asander haitiensis, salvo que las localidades de estudio serán Piedra Alta (23010’ N, -81059’ O) y Boca de Canasí (23009’ N, -81046’ O), previamente descritas en el estudio de Burca b. braco. Resultados preliminares. Preliminarmente se cuentan con datos morfométricos de seis larvas: ancho de la cápsula cefálica (HW), longitud del cuerpo (L) y fotografías de refugios. Todos los estadios inmaduros y los refugios larvales (Figura 1.) están pendientes de descripción formal. 1 Figure 1. Immature stages of Memphis verticodia echemus.

  • PAPILIO T:/J:#> $1.50
    c:{!::fp 3 March 5, 1986 PAPILIO t:/J:#> $1.50 DISTRIBUTION OF CARIBBEAN BUTTERFLIES by Dr. James A. Scott, 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colo. 80226 U.S.A. In 1970 I published a distribution table of all Caribbean butterflies (Scott 1970). Based on literature research, it contained some errors, and the records from the Lesser Antilles were sufficiently incomplete that they were lumped into only four island groups. Since then, many papers have added new records. Pinchon & Enrico (1969, not seen by Scott 1970) and others added numerous records for the Lesser Antilles. Riley (1975) published a field guide to Caribbean butterflies which admirably illustrated each species in color, summarized their distributions, and cleared up some problems concerning synonymies and other taxonomic matters. Expeditions to the Bahamas by H. Clench and associates added numerous records. A. Schwartz, F. Gali, and others (including Marion 1982) have finally given Hispaniola the exploration it deserves. Ramos (1982) updated the Puerto Rico list, and Askew (1980, 1985) added Cayman Is. data. Some new species and subspecies of Caribbean butterflies have been named, and some taxonomic revisions have clarified taxonomic relationships between species and subspecies. Unfortunately Riley (1975) did not list numerous island records, lumped the Lesser Antilles records into only two groups (Leeward and Windward Is.) in the distribution table, and the book contains some errors, omissions, and discrepancies between distribution table and text. And both Scott (1970) and Riley (1975) lumped all Virgin Islands into only one group, and lumped all Bahamas Islands into only one group (recent findings show that the southeastern Bahamas, namely Acklins to Turks Is., have some species/subspecies relationships with Hispaniola, Table 2).

Viele dieser Arten sind endemisch auf Kuba oder haben durch Abspaltung von Arten des amerikanischen Festlands dort Lokalrassen gebildet. Außerdem wird eine kurze Beschreibung der Insel Kuba sowie de­ ren Klimaverhältnisse gegeben. Contribution to the knowledge of the butterfly fauna of Cuba, Great Antilles (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) Abstract: A list of 114 species of Cuban butterflies and their collecting data is given. Many species are endemic or have developed new local races after separation from their relatives on the American continent. Further, a brief description of the island Cuba and its climatical conditions is given. Einleitung Während fünf Reisen nach der Antilleninsel Kuba konnte ich in den Jah­ ren von 1984 bis 1993 einen relativ guten Einblick in die Lepidopteren- fauna dieser Insel gewinnen. So wurden von mir 114 Arten von Tagfal­ tern festgestellt. Einige Belegexemplare mit genauen Funddaten erhielt ich von anderen Lepidopterologen. Die daraus resultierenden Fundergeb­ nisse werden in diesen Beitrag aufgelistet publiziert. Migrierende Arten vom nordamerikanischen Festland, wohl von den Florida-Keys eingeflo­ gen, werden mitgezählt. So zum Beispiel wärenPapilio palamedes, Vanes­ sa virginiensis und Vanessa cardui zu nennen. Meine erste Reise nach Kuba fand vom 18. vi. bis 4. vn. 1984 statt und war mehr eine Informations- und Rundreise, die entomologisch wenig er­ giebig war. Die darauffolgenden Reisen führten mich dann in die Provin­ zen Santiago de Cuba und Holgiun in Ostkuba.
