Available from http://www.dispar.org/reference.php?id=5 [Accessed April 11, 2014]. Rearing the Long-tailed Blue - Personal Observations Mark Colvin Abstract: Although the Long-tailed Blue (Lampides boeticus) is one of the rarest migrants to the British Isles, it is probably the most-widely distributed Lycaenid in the world. In 2013 they occurred in unprecedented numbers in Sussex. This paper conveys the rearing experiences and thoughts of the author, and makes comparisons with the observations of the late F.W. Frohawk. Figure I - Long-tailed Blue (male on bramble fruit) Photo © Mark Colvin Although the Long-tailed Blue (Lampides boeticus) is one of the rarest migrants to the British Isles, it is one of the most-widely distributed Lycaenids in the world, being found throughout southern Europe, Africa, southern Asia, India and Australia, extending eastwards to parts of Oceania including Hawaii. The vast majority of records occurring in the British Isles are from the south of England and the Channel Islands. On the continent, and throughout many parts of its range, this beautiful little butterfly is considered a pest of members of the Leguminosae (Fabaceae or bean family); hence some of its other vernacular names, the Pea Blue or Bean Butterfly. As a migrant to the British Isles, L. boeticus is rarely seen before the second half of July, with the peak of sightings being recorded during August and into September, though records as early as June have been noted (Asher et al., 2001; Emmet and Heath, 1989; Thomas and Lewington, 2010).

    South Asian Journal of Life Sciences Research Article Eco Biology and Life Cycle of the Pea Blue Butterfly, Lampides boeticus (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera: Lycaenidae) from Southern Andhra Pradesh, India HARINATH PALEM, SURYANARAYANA KANIKE, VENKATA RAMANA SRI PURUSHOTTAM* Department of Zoology, Yogi Vemana University, Y. S. R Kadapa District- 51600, Andhra Pradesh, India. Abstract | Life history of the long tailed blue butterfly also called pea blue, Lampides boeticus (Linnaeus) with respect to larval stages, diet consumption, exploitation and the length of lifae phase was designed to perform. The study was conducted between January to December 2014 at Yogi Vemana University Campus (78°42’46.429’ E, 14°28’10.542’ N) and Campus Botanical garden (78°42’44.539’ E, 14°28’25.59’ N), Kadapa, India. Lampides boeticus completes its life cycle in 15-22 days (Eggs 2-3 days, Larvae: 8-12days, Pre-Pupa:2-3days, Pupa: 3-4 days). The standards of food indices across the instars include Approximate Digestibility (AD): 90 – 96.07%; Growth Rate (GR): 0.51 - 0.64, Con- sumption index (CI): 11.54 - 5.95, Efficiency of Conversion of Digested food (FCD): 03.98 – 11.25%; Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food (ECD): 03.85 – 10.80% as measured in the research laboratory. The relatively high values of ECD and ECI partially explain the ecological success of this butterfly in the present study enviroment.

  • 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.

  • The Pyrenees
    The Pyrenees A Greentours Holiday for the Alpine Garden Society 10th to 23rd June 2011 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Friday 10 th June Arrival and Transfer to Formigueres Having driven from the south western Alps and reached Carcassonne the previous evening, I continued to Toulouse to meet the group at the airport. I was unexpectedly delayed by French customs who stopped me at the toll booth entering the city. There followed a lengthy questioning, as I had to unpack the contents of my suspiciously empty Italian mini-bus and show them my two large boxes of books, suitcase full of clothes, picnic supplies, etc., to convince them my purpose was a botanical tour to the Pyrenees. Now a little late I arrived breathlessly at Toulouse airport and rushed to the gate to meet Margaret, and the New Zealand contingent of Chris, Monica, Archie and Lynsie, hurriedly explaining the delay. Anyway we were soon back on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. White Storks in a field on route was a surprise. We made a picnic stop at a functional aire where there were tables, and a selection of weedy plants. Black Kite soared overhead. Once past Foix and Ax-les- Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to a misty Col de Puymorens. There a short stop yielded Pulsatilla vernalis in fruit and Trumpet Gentians. Roadside cliffs had Rock Soapwort, Saxifraga paniculata , and Elder-flowered Orchids became numerous. Now in the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, a fascinating route down into the valley took us through Saillagouse and Mont-Louis before heading up a minor road to the village of Formigueres, our base for the first three nights.
