Description and phylogenetic analysis of the Calycopidina (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Theclinae, Eumaeini): a subtribe of detritivores. The purpose of this paper is to establish a phylogenetic basis for a new Eumaeini subtribe that includes those lycaenid genera in which detritivory has been recorded. Morphological characters were coded for 82 species of the previously proposed “Lamprospilus Section” of the Eumaeini (19 of these had coding identical to another species), and a phylogenetic analysis was performed using the 63 distinct ingroup terminal taxa and six outgroups belonging to four genera. Taxonomic results include the description in the Eumaeini of Calycopidina Duarte & Robbins new subtribe (type genus Calycopis Scudder, 1876), which contains Lamprospilus Geyer, Badecla Duarte & Robbins new genus (type species Thecla badaca Hewitson), Arzecla Duarte & Robbins new genus (type species Thecla arza Hewitson), Arumecla Robbins & Duarte, Camissecla Robbins & Duarte, Electrostrymon Clench, Rubroserrata K. Johnson & Kroenlein revalidated status, Ziegleria K. Johnson, Kisutam K. Johnson & Kroenlein revalidated status, and Calycopis. Previous “infratribe” names Angulopina K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993, and Calycopina K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993, are nomenclaturally unavailable and polyphyletic as proposed. New combinations include Badecla badaca (Hewitson), Badecla picentia (Hewitson), Badecla quadramacula (Austin & K. -

Butterflies of Pedernales, Michoacan, Mexico, with Notes on Seasonality and Faunistic Affinities (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea)
Vol. 4 No. 2 1993 BALCAZAR: Michoacan Butterflies 93 TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA, 4(2): 93-105 BUTTERFLIES OF PEDERNALES, MICHOACAN, MEXICO, WITH NOTES ON SEASONALITY AND FAUNISTIC AFFINITIES (LEPIDOPTERA: PAPILIONOIDEA AND HESPERIOIDEA) MANUEL A. BALCAZAR L. Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Division of Plant Industry, FDACS, P. O. Box 147100, Gainesville, Florida 32614, USA ABSTRACT.- A list of 205 species of butterflies and skippers is presented for Pedernales, Michoacan, in western Mexico. The fauna belongs to five families: Nymphalidae with 31% of the total number of species, Hesperiidae with 28%, Lycaenidae 24%, Pieridae 11% and Papilionidae 7%. A low species richness and a high species richness seasonally, which seem to be related to the dry and humid seasons, respectively, was found. The fauna in the area has a clear affinity to that of the Pacific Slope and especially to other localities of the Balsas Basin. RESL'MEN.- El presente trabajo es el primer listado lepidopterofaunistico para una localidad en el estado de Michoacan basado en recolecciones sistematicas. Un total de 205 especies son registradas por primera vez para Pedernales, Michoacan. Aunque la lista no es completa, se considera que continen alrededor de un 80-85% del total de especies presente en el area. Del total de especies, un 31% pertenece a la familia Nymphalidae, 28% a Hesperiidae, 24% a Lycaenidae, 11% a Pieridae y 7% a Papilionidae, composicion que concuerda con datos reportados para regiones neotropicales. Durante 1986, se encontraron dos epocas bien claras en cuanto a su riqueza especifica con base en la presencia de imagos. una baja que va de enero a junio, y otra alta de Julio a diciembre. -

ROBBINS Department of Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Insti tution, Washington, DC 20560-0127 U.S.A. e-mail [email protected] Abstract-Even though Arawacus Kaye is widely used in works on North American butterflies, its characterization has been inconsistent and its included species have not been listed. Subterminally constricted tips of the papillae anales are proposed to be the best way to characterize Arawacus. They are consistent with the higher classification of the Thereus Section of the Eumaeini, to which Arawacus belongs. They are consistent with patterns of oviposition specificity. This characterization re-confirms that Polyniphes Kaye and Dolymorpha Holland are junior synonyms of Arawacus. Tigrinota Johnson is synonymized with Arawacus, new synonym. All nomenclaturally available specific names that belong to Arawacus are listed. Key Words: Thereus, Rekoa, Contrafacia, Dolymorpha, Polyniphes, Tigrinota, Solana ceae The generic name Arawacus Kaye was two terminal cornuti, "one of which has an rarely used until 1981. The original descrip abrupt, larger disc-like terminal expansion tion was based on superficial wing pattern with peripheral teeth" Fig. 1. He later elements of the South American type spe made Dotytnorpha a junior synonym of Ar cies, A. aetolus Sulzer Kaye 1904. As a awacus using the same two character states result, besides being cited in nomenclatural an unpublished manuscript that is being lists e.g., Comstock and Huntington 1959- deposited in the Archives of the Carnegie 1964, Eliot 1973, Arawacus was used only Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, for species with wing patterns similar to the Pennsylvania, U.S.A. -
Book Review, of Systematics of Western North American Butterflies
(NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) ~19 2008 CORRECTIONS/REVIEWS OF 58 NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLY BOOKS Dr. James A. Scott, 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80226-1254 Abstract. Corrections are given for 58 North American butterfly books. Most of these books are recent. Misidentified figures mostly of adults, erroneous hostplants, and other mistakes are corrected in each book. Suggestions are made to improve future butterfly books. Identifications of figured specimens in Holland's 1931 & 1898 Butterfly Book & 1915 Butterfly Guide are corrected, and their type status clarified, and corrections are made to F. M. Brown's series of papers on Edwards; types (many figured by Holland), because some of Holland's 75 lectotype designations override lectotype specimens that were designated later, and several dozen Holland lectotype designations are added to the J. Pelham Catalogue. Type locality designations are corrected/defined here (some made by Brown, most by others), for numerous names: aenus, artonis, balder, bremnerii, brettoides, brucei (Oeneis), caespitatis, cahmus, callina, carus, colon, colorado, coolinensis, comus, conquista, dacotah, damei, dumeti, edwardsii (Oarisma), elada, epixanthe, eunus, fulvia, furcae, garita, hermodur, kootenai, lagus, mejicanus, mormo, mormonia, nilus, nympha, oreas, oslari, philetas, phylace, pratincola, rhena, saga, scudderi, simius, taxiles, uhleri. Five first reviser actions are made (albihalos=austinorum, davenporti=pratti, latalinea=subaridum, maritima=texana [Cercyonis], ricei=calneva). The name c-argenteum is designated nomen oblitum, faunus a nomen protectum. Three taxa are demonstrated to be invalid nomina nuda (blackmorei, sulfuris, svilhae), and another nomen nudum ( damei) is added to catalogues as a "schizophrenic taxon" in order to preserve stability. Problems caused by old scientific names and the time wasted on them are discussed. -

Fasslantonius gen. n. a monotypic genus of Neotropical eumaeine lycaenids (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae, Eumaeini) Zs. BÁLINT1 and J. A. SALAZAR-ESCOBAR2 'Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum H-I088, Baross utca 13, Budapest, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] 2Museum de História Natural, Universidad de Caldas A. A. 275, Manizales, Caldas, Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Fasslantonius gen. n. (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae, Eumaeini) is described. The type spe cies is the strongly sexually dimorphic Thecla episcopalis FASSL, 1912 (= Thecla phacana DRAUDT, 1920, syn. n.). Sexual dimorphism, wing and genital characters, systematic placement and monotypy are discussed. With 6 figures. Key words - Lycaenidae, Eumaeini, new genus, synonym, Colombia. INTRODUCTION When the genus Jagiello BÁLINT et WOJTUSIAK, 2000 was described from Peru, it was pointed out that BROWN (1993: 47) speculated that one of the charac teristics typifying the Neotropical lycaenid fauna is the large potential number of monotypic genera (BÁLINT & WOJTUSIAK 2000: 186). A brief review was pre sented demonstrating that, previously, only four Neotropical lycaenid butterfly genera were considered to be monotypic. Interestingly, subsequent to BROWN's paper, JOHNSON and his coworkers described thirty-nine eumaeine lycaenid but terfly genera in 1997 and none of them were indicated as monotypic (JOHNSON, AUSTIN etal. 1997, JOHNSON & CONSTANTINO 1997, JOHNSON & LE CROM 1997, JOHNSON, KRUSE et al. 1997, JOHNSON & SALAZAR-ESCOBAR 1997, SALAZAR- ESCOBAR & JOHNSON 1997). Thus it can be supposed that most of the potentially monotypic genera referred to by BROWN remained undescribed, if BROWN'S spec ulation was credible. -
