  • Theclinae of Rondonia, Brazil: Strymon Hiibner, with Descriptions of New Species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) George T
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 11, Nos. 3-4, September-December, 1997 201 Theclinae of Rondonia, Brazil: Strymon Hiibner, with descriptions of new species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) George T. Austin Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, 700 Twin Lakes Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107 and Kurt Johnson Department of Entomology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, New York 10024 Abstract: Twenty-two species of Strymon are known from the vicinity of Cacaulandia in Rondonia, Brazil, of which 14 are new species. These belong to 5 species groups: the "oreala" group [StlYlllOn megarus (Godart)]; the "ziba" group [StlYlllOn ziba (Hewitson), Stlymon thulia (Hewitson), Stlymon spl:natus new species, Strymon latamaculus new species, StlYlllOn pallidulus new species, Stlymon tholus new species]; "valentina" group [StrY11lon rotundum new species]; "crossoea" group [Strymon crossoea (Hewitson), Strymon crambusa (Hewitson), Stlymon ger11lana new species, Strymon novasignum new species, Stlymon clavus new species, Strymon implexus new species, Strymon in11lirum new species, StlYlllOn incanus new species, Strymon faunaUa (Hewitson), Strymon halos new species, Strymon conspergus new species, Stlymon bazochii (Godart), Strymon diagonalis new species]; and "eu.rytu.lu.s" group [Stlymon bu.bastu.s (Stoll)]. Tentative subgroups of species are suggested for the "crossoea" group as they occur in Rondonia. A neotype is designated for Tmolu.s basilides and the name synonymized with Strymon megaru.s. The "basilides" group of Johnson et al. (1990) is renamed the "ziba" group. Based on lectotype designations and superficial and genital differences, S. ziba and S. thu.lia are elevated to specific status. I{ey words: Brazil, hairstreaks, Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Stlymon, Theclinae, tropical.

  • A Simple 2D Non-Parametric Resampling Statistical Approach To
    A Simple 2D Non-Parametric Resampling Statistical Approach to Assess Confidence in Species Identification in DNA Barcoding—An Alternative to Likelihood and Bayesian Approaches Qian Jin1, Li-Jun He2, Ai-Bing Zhang1* 1 College of Life Sciences, Capital Normal University, Beijing, P. R. China, 2 State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, East China Normal University, Shanghai, P. R. China Abstract In the recent worldwide campaign for the global biodiversity inventory via DNA barcoding, a simple and easily used measure of confidence for assigning sequences to species in DNA barcoding has not been established so far, although the likelihood ratio test and the Bayesian approach had been proposed to address this issue from a statistical point of view. The TDR (Two Dimensional non-parametric Resampling) measure newly proposed in this study offers users a simple and easy approach to evaluate the confidence of species membership in DNA barcoding projects. We assessed the validity and robustness of the TDR approach using datasets simulated under coalescent models, and an empirical dataset, and found that TDR measure is very robust in assessing species membership of DNA barcoding. In contrast to the likelihood ratio test and Bayesian approach, the TDR method stands out due to simplicity in both concepts and calculations, with little in the way of restrictive population genetic assumptions. To implement this approach we have developed a computer program package (TDR1.0beta) freely available from ftp://202.204.209.200/education/video/TDR1.0beta.rar.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Butterflies of Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State
    AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA: RHOPALOCERA) OF BENTSEN-RIO GRANDE STATE VALLEY PARK AND VICINITY JUNE, 1974 Published by TEXAS PARKS & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT BENTSEN-RIO GRANDE VALLEY STATE PARK P.O. 30X 988; MISSION, TEXAS 78572 INTRODUCTION The species listed here in are primarily a result of the collecting by the authors during the period 1972-1973. Certain important records of the previous several years are also included. Additionally, the checklist incorporates records of a number of other lepidopterists. The primary focus of the checklist, then, is upon recent collecting, rather than being an attempt to list all known records from the Mid-Valley area. All lepidopterists collecting in the park and vicinity are urged to send copies of their records to the authors and/or the park authorities. A number of species on the list have been taken in Hidalgo Co. but not yet within the actual confines of the park; the annotations will indicate which species these are. Some of these have been taken at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, approximately thirty miles down river, in habitats similar to those within the park. Others have been taken within several miles of the park, in nearby towns and along roadsides. These species can be reasonably expected to occur in the park, and their inclusion upon this list should alert the collector to their possible presence. The annotations have been kept necessarily brief. They are intended to aid the visiting lepidopterist in evaluating the significance of his catches. Local larval food plants are given where known. Much, however, is still to be learned regarding the life histories of even some of the commoner species.

  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

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.

Mitochondrial pseudogenes in insect DNA barcoding: differing points of view on the same issue. Biota Neotrop. 12(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v12n3/en/abstract?thematic-review+bn02412032012 Abstract: Molecular tools have been used in taxonomy for the purpose of identification and classification of living organisms. Among these, a short sequence of the mitochondrial DNA, popularly known as DNA barcoding, has become very popular. However, the usefulness and dependability of DNA barcodes have been recently questioned because mitochondrial pseudogenes, non-functional copies of the mitochondrial DNA incorporated into the nuclear genome, have been found in various taxa. When these paralogous sequences are amplified together with the mitochondrial DNA, they may go unnoticed and end up being analyzed as if they were orthologous sequences. In this contribution the different points of view regarding the implications of mitochondrial pseudogenes for entomology are reviewed and discussed. A discussion of the problem from a historical and conceptual perspective is presented as well as a discussion of strategies to keep these nuclear mtDNA copies out of sequence analyzes. Keywords: COI, molecular, NUMTs. LEITE, L.A.R. Pseudogenes mitocondriais no DNA barcoding em insetos: diferentes pontos de vista sobre a mesma questão.

While a knowledge of these myths is undoubtedly necessary to a clear understanding of much in literature and the arts, yet it is not for this reason alone that they have been selected; the myths that have appealed to the poets, the painters, and the sculptors for so many ages are the very ones that have the greatest depth of meaning, and that are the most beautiful and the best worth telling.

  • In Costa Rica
    GENERAL NOTES Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(3), 1985, 215-223 NATURAL HISTORY NOTES ON ASTRAPTES AND URBANUS (HESPERIIDAE) IN COSTA RICA The close evolutionary affinity between Astraptes and Urban us skippers (Hesperiidae) as members of the "Urbanus group" within the Pyrginae (Evans, 1952, Catalogue of the American Hesperiidae. Part II, British Museum of Natural History, London, 178 pp.) suggests similarities in the comparative biology of immature stages among representative species in both genera. For example, published larval food plant records for both genera include Leguminosae, and Astraptes has only been found feeding on members of this family (e.g., Howe, 1975, The butterflies of North America, Doubleday & Co., New York, 591 pp.; Kendall, 1976, Bull. Allyn Mus. No. 39, 9 pp.). While the majority of Urbanus species are legume-feeders as caterpillars, a handful of species are grass-feeders (Howe, op. cit.). Further field studies on the natural history of selected species in both genera may either confirm existing patterns of larval food plant patterns or augment them with records involving yet other families of dicotyledonous plants. It is evident that, within the Hesperiidae, tropical genera and species have undergone considerable evolutionary divergence in terms of larval food plants, with ten or more distinct food plant families known for some regions of the Neotropics (e.g., Kendall, op. cit.). In this note I summarize life cycle and larval food plant notes for A. Julgerator (Walch) in Costa Rica and make some brief comparisons with similar data on U. proteus (Linnaeus) from the same or similar localities within the country.
