Catalogue of Australian Butterflies: Wings & Stings, and Victorian Entomologist Catalogue of Australian Butterflies: Wings & Stings, and Victorian Entomologist. Compiled by Kelvyn L Dunn (21 Dec. 1992), in Brisbane, Queensland This catalogue, compiled in 1992, covers butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilioniodea) mentioned by species name or genus (where this was the lowest classification provided) in the publications of the Entomological Society of Victoria Inc. (ESV), namely the Victorian Entomologist (VE) and its brief precurser, Wings & Stings (WS). Citations are listed in reversed chronological order by year and month. Each citation includes the author, journal’s code (VE or WS) and article’s page numbers within which the mention occurred one or more times. The exact page number of the citation(s) within an article is not necessarily specified (except where contributions involved a single page only). Citation of butterflies in Minutes, Exhibits and Meeting notes are also included. However stand-alone collector/establishment request species lists not associated with any other data, surveys, projects or information (eg. Nebois 1972 VE 2(4):8-10) have not been included. Butterfly names follow Dunn & Dunn 1991, Review of Australian Butterflies, the current source at the time of this compilation. Some names used in the past were markedly different to contemporary names due to historic taxonomic changes, or due to serious misspellings, and creative of potential confusion. In these cases the cited name or spelling is indicated in brackets and listed with the appropriate species to which I judged it belonged. Generic names are only listed where references could not be assigned to species. The list does not include references to populations or species beyond political Australia, although some are mentioned in the VE in the years covered. Some Australian species have no citations in the news bulletins as of up to 1992, and these appear without details (Nil) under the species names. Acknowledgements Daniel Dobrosak provided complete copies of selected early editions of the Victorian Entomologist where the compiler’s copies were incomplete or missing, and Mark Hunting provided photocopies of the full set of Wings & Stings for the compilers use.

  • Life History Notes on the Banded Grass-Skipper, Toxidia Parvulus (Plotz, 1884) Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae - Wesley Jenkinson
    Life History Notes on the Banded Grass-skipper, Toxidia parvulus (Plotz, 1884) Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae - Wesley Jenkinson This hesperiid is one of many small species located throughout the eastern Australian states. Even though the species is quite common locally, any published detail regarding the life history appears to be lacking. In South East Queensland the species is generally more restricted in its habitat range than the common Dingy Grass- skipper (Toxidia peron) and usually avoids suburban gardens (unless suitable habitat exists nearby). It is locally common in the foothills and mountain slopes of the Great Divide, where it is chiefly established in a range of moist and dry eucalypt open forests where suitable host grasses are growing. The adults are slower and less robust in flight than T. peron, and usually remain closer to the ground than other species in the genus, unless searching for flowers. Both sexes are readily attracted to a wide variety of small native and introduced flowers. The average wingspan for the males is 23mm and 24mm for the females. Banded Grass-skipper (Toxidia parvulus) Ovipositing was observed during warm, sunny conditions around midday, during March 2008 in South East Queensland. Females fluttered slowly amongst the host grasses and settled on the stems, laying eggs singly on sheltered parts of the stem. They appeared to have a preference for the softer grass established in semi-shaded areas below large eucalypt trees. After an egg was laid, they flew several metres in search of another suitable location to lay the next egg. While ovipositing, the wings remain closed and the abdomen was curled onto the host plant.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Subfamilies and Circumscription of Tribes in the Family Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea)

Postal 70-399, Me´xico DF 04510, Me´xico; cDepartment of Biology, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN 37132, USA Accepted 10 January 2008 Abstract A comprehensive tribal-level classification for the worldÕs subfamilies of Hesperiidae, the skipper butterflies, is proposed for the first time. Phylogenetic relationships between tribes and subfamilies are inferred using DNA sequence data from three gene regions (cytochrome oxidase subunit I-subunit II, elongation factor-1a and wingless). Monophyly of the family is strongly supported, as are some of the traditionally recognized subfamilies, with the following relationships: (Coeliadinae + (‘‘Pyrginae’’ + (Heteropteri- nae + (Trapezitinae + Hesperiinae)))). The subfamily Pyrginae of contemporary authors was recovered as a paraphyletic grade of taxa. The formerly recognized subfamily Pyrrhopyginae, although monophyletic, is downgraded to a tribe of the ‘‘Pyrginae’’. The former subfamily Megathyminae is an infra-tribal group of the Hesperiinae. The Australian endemic Euschemon rafflesia is a hesperiid, possibly related to ‘‘Pyrginae’’ (Eudamini). Most of the traditionally recognized groups and subgroups of genera currently employed to partition the subfamilies of the Hesperiidae are not monophyletic.

  • 2013 Rubenstein Research Fellows Papilionoidea of the World
    2013 Rubenstein Research Fellows Papilionoidea of the World: Evaluation and validation of EOL and BHL data for Hesperiidae JR Ferrer-Paris, AY S´anchez-Mercado, C Lozano, L Zambrano, J Soto, J Baettig and P Ortega Centro de Estudios Bot´anicos y Agroforestales Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cient´ıficas Report EOLR.r.2013.10 available at the PoW home page Version of 13 de noviembre de 2013 CC BY-NC 3.0,Some rights reserved Abstract We evaluate the representativeness of two open sources of data for the butterfly family Hesperiidae that represent almost 20 % of the known species of butterflies (Papilionoidea). First we built a taxonomic checklist from available information and ordered the species lists according to a preliminary phylogeny. Checklists are based on the most updated and com- plete synonimic list and catalogues available in public sources, and phylogenies are based on approximated phylogenies for several clades within the family. For each species we retrieved all available text data objects from the Encyclopedia of Life, EOL and all pages from the Biodiversity Heritage Library, BHL. We then analyse the distribution of data objects, pages and records per species and the representativeness of each data source accross the phylogeny, and compare them with the results obtained for other families. Hesperiidae are poorly represented in both sources, available content was generally lower and less rich than for Papilionidae and Pieridae, and not much better than for Riodinidae. Differences between hesperid subfamilies were evident, but not extrem, with Eudaminae, Coeliadinae and Trapetizinae slightly better represented. In EOL, the main contributors are 1 associated with phylogenetic and molecular data providers, and fewer data objects about their biology and ecology.

  • Origin of the Lepidoptera, with Description of a New Mid-Triassic Species and Notes on the Origin of the Butterfly Stem
    JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY Volume 34 1980 Number 3 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 34(3), 1980, 263-285 ORIGIN OF THE LEPIDOPTERA, WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW MID-TRIASSIC SPECIES AND NOTES ON THE ORIGIN OF THE BUTTERFLY STEM NORMAN B. TINDALE 2314 Harvard Street, Palo Alto, California 94306 ABSTRACT. Part I presents data on two new fossil wing impressions, identified as early Lepidoptera of a homoneurous type, from the Insect Bed at Mount Crosby, Queensland, now recognized to be of Mid-Triassic age. They represent a new family, the Eocoronidae, a new genus, Eocorona, and species, iani. The status of a previously described genus and species from the sa~e horizon in Triassic time, Eoses triassica Tindale, 1945 is examined and evide~e given for its validity as a member of the Lepidoptera. Evolution of the homoneurous stem of the Lepidopte ra is discussed in light of several living members of the family Lophocoron­ idae (Common, 1973), the Agathiphagidae (Dumbleton, 1952), and the recent finding of Neotheora in Brazil (Kristensen, 1978). Part II offers observations on the origin of the Rhopalocera stem of the Lepidoptera, based in large part on study of tracheal systems in the wings' of newly formed pupae of several superfamilies. The observations lead to tbe conclusion that the Butterfly stem may be rather closely linked with an ancestral line of the Castnioidea, or Butterfly­ moths. The recent discovery (Durden & Rose, 1978) of Mid-Eocene butterflies of two ex­ isting families reinforces earlier ideas that the origin of the stem should be sought in the Mesozoic, and not in the Teltiary Period.

  • Proposal for Wild Harvest and Export of Invertebrates Submitted for Approval Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
    27th April 2021 Proposal for Wild Harvest and Export of Invertebrates submitted for approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 1. Introduction In 1982, the applicants who recognised the full potential and value of the property to the initial establishing of their insect farming business purchased 80 acres of dense lowland rainforest. Areas of the property, prior to its purchase by the applicants, had been used for extractive processes such as a quarry and for logging. Other past activities that also affected the integrity of the property were cattle grazing and an attempt at establishing a deer farm. A total of 20 acres were clear felled to enable the cattle grazing and deer farming to occur. To assist recovery of the acreage, surveys were conducted and relevant areas for rehabilitation were identified and addressed. The past 30 years has seen an astounding proliferation of fauna numbers as well as an improvement of habitat for many species. Priority to land management is a key factor in the efficiency of the farm and its projects. Areas within the acreage have been identified and allocated to allow for the farm activities while maintaining the bulk of the acreage for non-business practices. Present operations are conducted on approximately 20 acres. This area lies within a section of the property, which was 75 years earlier totally cleared for cattle grazing and a typical example of regrowth rainforest. The property is listed under “Land for Wildlife” Queensland. This business has grown from what was initially established to operate as a breeding facility, catering to public demand for invertebrate specimens for use in research, education, natural history documentaries, personal interests and various other applications.

  • How Are Moths and Butterflies Different?
    Fact Sheet 1: How are moths and butterflies different? Butterflies are part of the Order Lepidoptera, latin for “scale wing” which refers to the beautiful feathery scales which coat their wings giving them colours and patterns. Lepidoptera also includes the moths, and it can be hard at times to work out how to tell moths and butterflies apart. This fact sheet will show you some simple guidelines (and more complicated points of biology) that help, but there are exceptions as well that can be confusing. Clubbed vs. fuzzy antennae One of the most reliable features that can help tell a butterfly from a moth is their antennae. Most butterflies have long thin antennae with a kink or bulb/club shape at the end, while many (but not all) moths have feathery or fuzzy antennae. However this doesn’t always work, as you can see with this Joseph’s Coat Moth (Agarista agricola) that its antennae are neither fuzzy nor feathery. They do lack a club though, which is a subtle hint that this species is not a butterfly. © Chris Sanderson Moth antennae are often “feathery” Butterfly antennae bulge at the end or “fuzzy” like this, but many are in a club, but this can be hard to see not. sometimes. Flying at night or in the day? Most butterflies fly during the day, and most moths fly at night. However there are many day-flying moths, and a small number of butterflies that fly at night so be aware that this isn’t always a great feature to use. For example, the Eastern Dusk-flat (Chaetocneme beata) pictured to the left is a butterfly that mostly flies in the early morning and late afternoon, but also flies at night.

  • Introductory Chapter: Moths
    Chapter 1 Introductory Chapter: Moths Farzana Khan PerveenKhan Perveen and Anzela KhanAnzela Khan Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.79639 1. Moths The moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are the group of organisms allied to butterflies, having two pairs of wide wings shielded with microscopic scales. They are usually brightly colored and held flat at sitting posture. The word moths are derived from Scandinavian word mott, for maggot, perhaps a reference to the caterpillars of moths. Furthermore, about 165,000 species of moths, including micro- and macro-moths are found worldwide, many of which are yet to be described (Table 1) [1–3].
