INTRODUCTION UNEP-WCMC was requested to compile available information on trade and ranching of birdwing butterflies in the various countries of origin, in order to inform discussions on this issue at SRG 41 (September 2007) when current SRG opinions would be re-considered. The present review provides background information on the concept of ranching particularly as applied to birdwing butterflies, an overview of the trade in ranched butterflies and a summary of discussions and opinions of the SRG and in the CITES arena. Trade and ranching in the five countries exporting the majority of ranched birdwing butterflies –Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands- are considered, and detailed trade tables for these five countries are provided.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1. CONCEPT OF RANCHING Ranching generally refers to the collection of eggs or juveniles from the wild, to be then transferred to controlled raising facilities, where the wild-caught specimens are grown for commercial purposes. In a CITES context, this concept was first used when certain crocodilian species were transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II for this purpose. Since then, ranching facilities have also been operating for other taxonomic groups, including birds, other reptiles and invertebrates, although it is not widely practised for these other groups (CITES, 2001). Unlike closed-cycle captive breeding, ranching relies on maintaining a healthy wild population from which individuals are removed on a regular basis. Resolution Conf. 11.161 on „Ranching and trade in ranched specimens of species transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II‟ defines the term 'ranching' as the rearing in a controlled environment of specimens taken from the wild. Although the title of this Resolution indicates that this definition only applies to instances where species are transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II for ranching purposes, another Resolution (Resolution Conf. 12.32 on permits and certificates) notes that source code R refers to “specimens produced in a ranching operation” without further specification, and thus many non-crocodilian Appendix II specimens have been reported in trade using source code R. In the case of a species down-listed from Appendix I to Appendix II, a ranching operation “must be primarily beneficial to the conservation of the local population”. However, for Appendix-II species in trade and from ranching operations, the trade must satisfy the non- detriment requirements of Article IV of the Convention. However, there is no requirement to demonstrate benefit to the wild population (CITES, 2001). Resolution Conf.11.16 recommends that annual reports on all relevant aspects of each approved ranching operation be submitted to the Secretariat by the Party concerned, and include any new information on the following: i)

E-mail: Abstract: Quantification of butterfly diversity and species richness is of prime importance for evaluating the status of protected areas. Permanent line transect counts were used to record species richness and abundance of butterfly communities of different habitat types in Trishna wildlife sanctuary. A total of 1005 individuals representing 59 species in 48 genera belonging to five families were recorded in the present study. Of these, 23 species belonged to the family Nymphalidae and accounted for 38.98% of the total species and 45.20% of the total number of individuals. Mature secondary mixed moist deciduous forest showed the maximum diversity and species richness, while exotic grassland showed minimum diversity and species richness. Out of 59 species, 31 are new records for Tripura state, while 21 are unique species and nine are listed in the threatened category. This study revealed that mature secondary forests are more important for butterfly communities, while exotic grasslands have a negative impact on species composition.

The birdwing butterflyTrogonoptera brookiana (Wallace, 1855) is a well-known conservation icon, yet questions remain about the infraspecific status of regional populations. The eastern Peninsular Malaysian population has been described as the subspecies mollumar d’Abrera, Doggett & Parker, 1976, but its status as a subspecies distinguishable from the taxon trogon (Vollenhoven, 1860) in Sumatra has been disputed. Wing characters and measurements of specimens from the two regions were therefore examined quantitatively using discriminant function and correspondence analyses. Eastern Peninsular specimens differ on average from Sumatran specimens in having more extensive green, especially in the female. This is reflected in many of the measurements and characters analysed.

  • Hot Spring Puddling by Butterflies
    Ecologica Montenegrina 31: 46-49 (2020) This journal is available online at: www.biotaxa.org/em http://dx.doi.org/10.37828/em.2020.31.10 Hot spring puddling by butterflies YULIA S.

Laverov Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Northern Dvina Emb. 23, 163000, Arkhangelsk, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2020│ Accepted by V. Pešić: 20 May 2020 │ Published online: 23 May 2020. Puddling behavior of butterflies and moths is a well-known phenomenon driven by a deficit of several minerals and nutrients in larval and imago diet, especially sodium and proteins (Arms et al. 1974; Adler 1982; Boggs and Jackson 1991; Beck et al. 1999; John & Tennent 2012; Inoue et al. 2012). In particular, sodium and albumin were found to be the most attractive puddling resources for tropical butterflies on Borneo based on the results of a long-term experimental study (Beck et al. 1999). This kind of behavior is more characteristic for males, while female butterfly puddling occurs only occasionally (Beck et al. 1999; Adler & Pearson 1982; Scriber 1987, 2002; John & Tennent 2012; John & Dennis 2019). Male puddling could increase reproductive success in butterflies because minerals and nutrients are transferred through the spermatophore at mating (Boggs & Gilbert 1979; Pivnick & McNeil 1987; Smedley & Eisner 1996; Dennis et al. 2014; Mitra et al. 2016). It was shown that another purpose of puddling by males of swallowtail butterflies is to excrete excessive potassium (Inoue et al.

  • Diversity of Swallowtal Butterfly Species (Rhopalocra, Papilionidae) in Three Protected Areas of Thua Thien Hue Province
    Management of Forest Resources and Environment DIVERSITY OF SWALLOWTAL BUTTERFLY SPECIES (RHOPALOCRA, PAPILIONIDAE) IN THREE PROTECTED AREAS OF THUA THIEN HUE PROVINCE Vu Van Lien1, Le Quynh Trang1, Christoph L. Häuser2, Vo Dinh Ba3, Bui Dinh Duc4 1Vietnam National Museum of Nature, VAST 2Natural History Museum Berlin, Germany 3University of Science, Hue University 4Vietnam National University of Forestry SUMMARY The study on swallowtail butterflies (Papilionidae) of three protected areas of Thua Thien Hue province was carried out sometimes between April and June from 2015 to 2018, at different habitats and altitudes in Bach Ma National Park (NP), Phong Dien Nature Reserve (NR), and Sao La Nature Reserve (NR). Butterflies were observed and collected randomly by insect nets in the surveyed areas. In additional, butterfly species were also referred from previous works on butterflies in the area to make a list of Papilionidae species. The similarity of species composition between three protected areas was analyzed with Cluster Analysis by Primer V5. Total 36 species of the Papilionidae family has been recorded in three protected areas. There are 4 species listed in the Red Data Book of Vietnam (2007): Troides helena, T. aeacus, Teinopalpus aureus, and Papilio noblei. Among them, first three species are listed in the CITES (2018). Teinopalpus aureus is in the Red List of IUCN (2018). The similarity of species composition between protected areas is rather high (67%), highest between Phong Dien NR and Sao Lao NR (69.8%). The species composition of Bach Ma NP is slightly different from Phong Dien NR and Sao La NR as Bach Ma NP has 7 species not found in two other protected areas.

A yarn was born there which many collectors alreaqy have heard; it has become a part of that vast body of incredible doings known as the Entomologica Apocrypha (about which the less said in print the better). Stop me if you've heard about the exceedingly steatopygous lady who was demanding, "How you tell dem boy butterfly from dose girl butterfly, huh?" Who could resist telling her, "The girl is wider on the bottom." Fortunately her husband had a beautiful sense of humor. But that is another tale, so to speak, and quite subsidiary to the main event, namely a visit from the camp ranger, bear­ ing gifts for the mad scientist. To wit: one large green telephone insulator serving as a makeshift container for some moths taken at a cabin window. Now, surely every lepidopterist knows Whosit's Law - (Whosit ranks right up there with Parkinson and Murphy as a lawgiver): In any batch of junk picked up by any rank amateur, there will be.

The research as a survey was conducted in Pattunuang Resort and SDN 129 Inpres Bantimurung Regency, Maros District from March to May 2017. The steps of research was: 1) build transect lines for butterflies observation; 2) butterfly identification and counting of their population used Shannon-Wiener Index Biodiversity, then 3) introducing butterflies species to Elementary School students Class Five at SDN 129 Inpres Bantimurung. The result was showed, we find 20 individual butterflies from 6 species of Papilionids (Troides haliphron, T. helena, Papilio demoleus, P. demolion and Graphium agamemnon), also Danaus chrysippus from Nymphalids. Based value of Shannon-Wiener Index, we find very low criteria of butterflies (H < 1). The conclusion : 1) findings of 20 butterflies individual from 6 species (Papilionids and Nymphalids); 2) approximately 57.3% of Elementary School students recognized butterflies species and 3) 28.8% from them as a butterflies wild hunter. Recommendation for the future, we need more collaborative research and development from University and local government increasing introducing butterflies conservation species for Elementary School students around Pattunuang Resort.

  • Tera: Papilionidae): Cladistic Reappraisals Using Mainly Immature Stage Characters, with Focus on the Birdwings Ornithoptera Boisduval
    Bull. Kitakyushu Mus. Nat. Hist., 15: 43-118. March 28, 1996 Gondwanan Evolution of the Troidine Swallowtails (Lepidop- tera: Papilionidae): Cladistic Reappraisals Using Mainly Immature Stage Characters, with Focus on the Birdwings Ornithoptera Boisduval Michael J. Parsons Entomology Section, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County 900 Exposition Blvd., LosAngeles, California 90007, U.S.A.*' (Received December 13, 1995) Abstract In order to reappraise the interrelationships of genera in the tribe Troidini, and to test the resultant theory of troidine evolution against biogeographical data a cladistic analysis of troidine genera was performed. Data were obtained mainly from immature stages, providing characters that appeared to be more reliable than many "traditional" adult characters. A single cladogram hypothesising phylogenetic relation ships of the troidine genera was generated. This differs markedly from cladograms obtained in previous studies that used only adult characters. However, the cladogram appears to fit well biogeographical data for the Troidini in terms of vicariance biogcography, especially as this relates to the general hypotheses of Gondwanaland fragmentation and continental drift events advanced by recent geological studies. The genus Ornithoptera is shown to be distinct from Troides. Based on input data drawn equally from immature stages and adult characters, a single cladogram hypothesising the likely phylogeny of Ornithoptera species was generated. With minor weighting of a single important adult character (male
