A New Species of Alesa (Riodinidae: Eurybiini) from Eastern Ecuador
HALL & AHRENHOLZ: A new species of Alesa TROP. LEPID. RES., 20(1):19-22, 2010 19 A NEW SPECIES OF ALESA (RIODINIDAE: EURYBIINI) FROM EASTERN ECUADOR Jason P. W. Hall1 and David H. Ahrenholz2 1Department of Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0127, USA; 2Regions Hospital, 640 Jackson Street, St. Paul, MN 55101, USA Abstract- A new riodinid species in the tribe Eurybiini, Alesa suzana Ahrenholz & Hall n. sp., is described from the lowlands of eastern Ecuador. The new species appears to be sister to the widespread Amazonian species A. telephae (Boisduval, 1836). Based on the study of external morphology and male genitalia, a new species-group classification is proposed forAlesa Doubleday, 1847. The genus is divided into the amesis, telephae, and prema groups. Key words: Alesa, Amazon, Ecuador, Eurybiini, Riodinidae, South America, taxonomy The riodinid tribe Eurybiini is one of the most basal groups followed those outlined in Hall (2005).

Phylogeny of the Riodinid Butterfly Subtribe Theopeina (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae: Nymphidiini)
Systematic Entomology (2002) 27, 139±167 Phylogeny of the riodinid butterfly subtribe Theopeina (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae: Nymphidiini) JASON P. W. HALL Department of Systematic Biology±Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, U.S.A. Abstract. The almost exclusively Neotropical butterfly family Riodinidae is poorly represented in both ecological and systematic studies of Lepidoptera. A comparative morphological study of all seventy-five species in subtribe Theopeina (tribe Nymphidiini) yielded 104 characters, predominantly from wing pattern, male and female genitalia, and abdominal structures. All morphological char- acters and adults representing the range of wing pattern variation are illustrated. Phylogenetic analysis of the data produced a large number of most parsimonious cladograms, but the strict consensus of these, both when using equal weights and after successive weighting, is well resolved and the majority of terminal clades have high character and branch support. Theopeina is found to consist of five mono- phyletic genera, Protonymphidia, Archaeonympha, Calicosama, Behemothia and Theope ( Parnes and Dinoplotis), with the largest genus Theope containing thirteen monophyletic species groups, which are delineated to facilitate a discussion of broad evolutionary patterns in this morphologically diverse subtribe. Introduction family upon which to trace major evolutionary adaptations or test competing hypotheses. Riodinidae are unique among butterflies in being almost The first higher classification of Riodinidae was exclusively confined to a single biogeographical region, attempted by Bates (1868), who recognized three subfamilies the Neotropics, where approximately 1300 species or 95% of and several further divisions based solely on characters of the familial diversity occurs, and where it constitutes about wing venation, antennae and palpi. -

Early Eocene (Middle-Late Cuisian) Molluscs Assemblage from The

Six species of bivalves, four species of gastropods, and one species of scaphopod are described from the formation. The central part of the Yoncalı Formation consists mostly of sandstones, pelagic mudstone and limestones with harpactocarcinids and the molluscs found were derived from this part. Associated fauna found here included benthic foraminiferans, serpulids, undetermined echinoids and shark teeth, and dating was mainly based on the benthic foraminiferans. The distribution of bivalve, gastropod and scaphopod species suggest that this area has affinities with the East European Province of Turkey. The cosmopolitian distribution of the recorded species is useful for paleobiogeographic reconstruction. This reveals that there was a direct connection throughout the Tethyan realm and a connection between the Tethyan central Anatolia and Indo-Pasific realms, at least until the end of the Paleocene to Early Eocene (Early Tertiary), and this allowed the migration of benthic organisms. -

31(1-2):103-126,Journal of Research 1992 on the Lepidoptera 31(1-2):103-126, 1992 103 Toward a better understanding of host use and biodiversity in riodinid butterflies (Lepidoptera) P. J. DeVries Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 01238 I. A. Chacon Museo Nacional, Apartado 749, San Jose, Costa Rica and Debra Murray Estacion Biologica Jatun Sacha, Casilla 1501-218, Tena, Ecuador Abstract. Over one hundred-eighty observations on the host use and ant association of ninety-eight riodinid butterflies are presented — a substantial addition to our understanding of this distinctly neotropical group. These observations are contrasted to previous work, and discussed with respect to apparent patterns of phytophagy, aphytophagy, caterpillar sociality, and ant association. The majority of riodinid species have unknown life histories, and thus we conclude that much more fieldwork is need before a phyloge- netic approach to host use and ant association can be established. INTRODUCTION The fact that there are more species of bats than elephants, more little bats than large ones, more species of insects than mammals, and so on vividly demonstrates one of the best known axioms of biodiversity — there is an inverse relationship between body size and number of species (Hutchinson & MacArthur 1959; May 1978; Van Valen 1973). In other words, the species- number game is not for giants. Add to this that the taxonomy of small-bodied organisms is typically less well known than that of larger ones (Mayr 1969), and it is easy to appreciate how crude our understanding of biodiversity really is. However, the importance of biodiversity lies not simply in numbers but in how organisms live and interact within habitats. -
Miocene Shallow Marine Molluscs from the Hokutan Group in the Tajima Area, Hyôgo Prefecture, Southwest Japan
Bulletin of the Mizunami Fossil Museum, no. 37, p. 51–113, 9 pls., 2 fi gs., 1 table. © 2011, Mizunami Fossil Museum Miocene shallow marine molluscs from the Hokutan Group in the Tajima area, Hyôgo Prefecture, southwest Japan Takashi Matsubara Division of Natural History, Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo, 6 Yayoigaoka, Sanda 669-1546, Japan <[email protected]> Abstract A taxonomical study of molluscs from the Miocene Hokutan Group was carried out and their paleobiogeographic implication was discussed. A total of 100 species, including 45 species of Gastropoda, 54 species of Bivalvia, and one species of Scaphopoda, were discriminated. The fauna is referred to the Kadonosawa Fauna s.s. on the basis of the occurrences of the intertidal “Arcid-Potamid Fauna” and the upper sublittoral Dosinia-Anadara Assemblage. The upper sublittoral assemblages include Turritella (Turritella) kiiensis Yokoyama, Turritella (Hataiella) yoshidai Kotaka, T. (Kurosioia) neiensis Ida, Ostrea sunakozakaensis (Ogasawara), Cucullaea (Cucullaea) toyamaensis Tsuda, Siphonalia osawanoensis Tsuda, and Varicospira toyamaensis (Tsuda). These species are distributed as far north as the southernmost part of northeast Honshû at that time, and their geographic distributions are identical with the Miocene mangrove swamp element. The occurrences of these species strongly support the previous paleoclimatic reconstruction of the Japanese Islands during the latest Early–earliest Middle Miocene age on the basis of the intertidal molluscan assemblages, and show that central and southwest Honshû was under the warmer marine climate than in northeast Honshû and northwards. All the species including a new cardiid, Parvicardium? mikii sp. nov., are described and/or discussed taxonomically. -

Continuing with comparative genomic exploration of worldwide butterfly fauna, we use all protein- coding genes as they are retrieved from the whole genome shotgun sequences for phylogeny construction. Analysis of these genome-scale phylogenies projected onto the taxonomic classification and the knowledge about butterfly phenotypes suggests further refinements of butterfly taxonomy that are presented here. As a general rule, we assign most prominent clades of similar genetic differentiation to the same taxonomic rank, and use criteria based on relative population diversification and the extent of gene exchange for species delimitation. As a result, 7 tribes, 4 subtribes, 14 genera, and 9 subgenera are proposed as new, i.e., in subfamily Pierinae Swainson, 1820: Calopierini Grishin, trib. n. (type genus Calopieris Aurivillius, 1898); in subfamily Riodininae Grote, 1895: Callistiumini Grishin, trib. n.
