Notes on Some Danaid Butterflies from Guangdong and Hainan (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) NOTES ON SOME DANAID BUTTERFLIES FROM GUANGDONG AND HAINAN (LEPIDOPTERA: RHOPALOCERA) OKANOMasao and OKANOTetsuo In recent years， the knowledge on the． Danaid fauna of South’East Asia has bee・・em・・k・bly・d・qnced by M・RlsHITA（1977・1981）．・．h・W・ve・・中・・e・till・erP・i・ some questions on the fauna ot the Tnainland of China apd ．． the ． island of Hainap． In this small paper we add a fqw novelties to several species of Danaidae from Guangdong （＝Kwantung） and Hainan． Before goirig further we・wish to express our hearty thanks to Dr． T． SHiROzu for his kindness rendered in various ways； thanks are also’ due to－Mr． S． KolwAyA， Mr． S． KAMMuRI and T． SuzuKI for their assistance in securing materials， Ideopsis

are almost identical with those of dehaani from S． Vietnam figured by MORIsHITA （1970， 1977） except the slightly smaller submarginal spots， but can not be separable from those from N． E．・Thailand figured by PINRATANA （1977） under the name of dehaani． Consequently we have some doubts about the subspecific separation between dehaani and hainana． Euploea klugii minorata （MooRE， 1878） （Pl． 2，

Diversity of butterfly communities of a tropical rain forest of Bu Gia Map National Park in South Vietnam was studied in four different habitat types (the natural forest, the disturbed forest, the bamboo forest, and the stream sides in the forest) in December 2008 and April 2009. A total of 112 species with 1703 individuals of Papilionoidae (except Lycaenidae) were recorded. The proportion of rare species tends to decrease from the natural forest to the stream sides, while the proportion of common species tends to increase from the natural forest to the stream sides. The stream sides have the greatest individual number, while the disturbed forest contains the greatest species number. The bamboo forest has the least species and individual numbers.

  • Euploea Species Are Unpalatable to Their Otherwise Enemies
    An introduction to Crows of the World, the Euploeas (Lepidoptera : Danainae) – Peter Hendry The Euploea belong to the subfamily Danainae of the butterfly family Nymphalidae, although some authors place them in a family of their own, Danaidae. They are known as Crows, because of their mostly dark colouration, generally dark brown with some white markings. Some Crows have a blue or purplish sheen over part of their wings. With one endemic species on the Seychelles and another on the Mascarene Islands, in the Indian Ocean, the remainder of the genus ranges from India and South-east Asia (from Sikkim, Tibet and Afghanistan in the east) as far north as the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan, throughout the Philippines and the Indonesian Archipelago, to New Guinea, the Bismarcks, Solomons, northern and eastern Australia, and the Islands associated with New Caledonia, the New Hebrides (Vanuatu), Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and as far eastwards as Niue, the Cook Islands and the Society Islands. (Parsons Fig. 1 1999) Fig.1. The larvae feed on plants in the Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae and Moraceae plant families, many of which are poisonous to most animals. Most of these plants extrude milky latex when cut. Caterpillars of the Common Crow, Euploea core corinna (Fig. 16) sever leaf veins prior to feeding on their latex-bearing host plants, which restricts the flow of latex at feeding sites (Clarke and Zalucki, 2001). This has been observed for other species and genera. Over 100 species of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera cut veins on host plants (Helmus and Dussourd, 2003). By feeding on toxic plants the larvae, pupae and adults of some Euploea species are unpalatable to their otherwise enemies.

  • Observations on the Ecology of Euploea Core Corinna (Nymphalidae) with Special Reference to an Overwintering Population
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 35(2), 1981, 106-119 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ECOLOGY OF EUPLOEA CORE CORINNA (NYMPHALIDAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AN OVERWINTERING POPULATION R. L. KITCHING AND M. P. ZALUCKI School of Australian Environmental Studies, Griffith University, Nathan, QLD 4111, Australia ABSTRACT. A study of a sub-tropical overwintering aggregation of the common crow butterfly, Euploea core corinna (Nymphalidae: Danainae), has been made on the campus of Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia. Observations on the temporal and spatial phenology of the aggregation, together with the sex ratio, reproductive status, individual fat content and physical condition of butterflies within the aggregation are presented. The aggregation was restricted to the upper reaches of a gully on the campus between mid-May and late July. Physical conditions in the gully (temperature, humid­ ity and wind) were less severe than in adjacent areas. The butterflies in the gully were reproductively inactive. We suggest that such aggregations, apart from avoiding severe winter conditions, may also serve as mating concourses at the end of the winter season. The common crow butterfly, Euploea core (Cramer), is widely dis­ tributed in the Indo-Australian region and is represented in Australia by the subspecies, corinna (W. S. Macleay) (Fig. 1). Recent general ac­ counts of its life history are given by McCubbin (1971) and Common & Waterhouse (1972). These authors summarize information on food­ plants, phenology, behavior and morphology, principally collated from the observations of field naturalists. McCubbin (1971) alluded to the formation of overwintering aggregations of this species in shel­ tered coastal sites and offshore islands in the tropics and subtropics of northern and eastern Australia.

  • Euploea Alcathoe Enastri
    Threatened Species of the Northern Territory GOVE CROW Euploea alcathoe enastri Conservation status Australia: Endangered Northern Territory: Near Threatened Photo: M Braby Description The Gove crow is a large, black-brown butterfly with variable white spots near the margins of the wings. The wingspan is about 70 mm. The male is velvet-black above and dark black-brown beneath. The female is paler chocolate-brown. Distribution The Gove Crow is a Northern Territory (NT) endemic, restricted to North-Eastern Arnhem Land. It was first discovered at Rocky Bay near Yirrkala in 1988 by G. Martin, and was subsequently recorded at three other locations, including Mosquito Creek Port Bradshaw, near Known locations of the Gove crow Mount Bonner, and the upper Goromuru River (Fenner 1991, 1992). Surveys carried out during Ecology 2006–2008 by Braby (2010) confirm that the Larval stages of E. a. enastri are found subspecies has a limited geographical range associated with several species of vines in the (extent of occurrence approximately 6,700 km2) Family Apocynaceae, and the preferred larval within which it is recorded from 21 sites food plant appears to be Parsonsia clustered within eleven locations or alboflavescens (Braby2009). This species subpopulations. Most sites comprise discrete occurs in patches of mixed paperbark tall open habitat patches that are small in area (<10 ha) forest with rainforest elements in the within which adults are localised and occur in understorey and rainforest edge (i.e. the relatively low abundance. ecotone between evergreen monsoon vine- forest and eucalypt/paperbark woodland). These Conservation reserves where reported: wet monsoon forest patches are always Nanydjaka Indigenous Protected Area.

The butterfly is It is an iconic species, listed as vulnerable the 1960s and 1970s but is now a common Singapore at the Bukit Timah Cycling trail in also attracted to the partially dried plants of in Singapore Red Data book. Conservation of this species is one of the urban butterfly because its host plant is an early colonizing weed. It is a 1999. The upperside is spectacular orange but the underside looks like a Heliotropium indicum. Its host plant which the caterpillar feeds on has a inspirations behind the trail. The butterfly is essentially a forest species, fast and erratic flyer. It also demonstrates sexual dimorphism which means dead or autumn leaf. It is a fast flyer and is commonly seen as its favourite milky sap. This makes the butterfly distasteful to birds. but will be attracted to the trail where its host plant has been planted.

Lin WR, Wang PH, Hsieh SY, Tsai CH, Hsiao SC 2018 – Yeasts associated with Euploea butterflies. Mycosphere 9(1), 149–154, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/9/1/4 Abstract The yeasts were observed attached to the mouthparts, wings, and forelegs of migratory butterflies in Taiwan. Fifty-eight dominant yeast strains yeasts were isolated from 56 Euploea butterflies and identified by rDNA ITS and D1/D2 sequencing. The yeasts which associated with Euploea butterflies included ascomycetous yeasts, such as Aureobasidium sp., Candida chanthaburiensis, C. corydalis, Metschnikowia koreensis, Metschnikowia sp., and Debaryomyces hansenii; and basidiomycetous yeasts, such as Cryptococcus rajasthanensis, Dirkmeia churashimaensis, Filobasidium globisporum, Hannaella pagnoccae, Papiliotrema flavescens, Pseudozyma hubeiensis, P. tsukubaensis, Pseudozyma sp., Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, R. subericola, and Rhodosporidiobolus poonsookiae. The most common yeast, Candida corydalis, associated with 4 migratory Euploea species and seemed transmitted through nectar. When the butterflies feed on nectar, bask in the sun on the leaf, sip at the moisture on leaves, in puddles or wet sand and soil, they come into contact with yeasts. This is the first report about the yeast microbiome of migratory butterflies.
