México ABSTRACT The genus Amblyomia Stål is revised and two new species, A. foreroi and A. prome- ceops from Colombia, are described. New host plant and distributional records of A. bifasciata Stål are given; habitus illustrations and drawings of male and female gen- italia are included as well as a key to the known species. The group feeds on bromeli- ads. Key Words: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Leptoscelini, Amblyomia, Bromeliaceae RESUMEN El género Amblyomia Stål es revisado y dos nuevas especies, A. foreroi y A. prome- ceops, recolectadas en Colombia, son descritas. Plantas hospederas y nuevas local- idades para A. bifasciata Stål son incluidas; se ofrece una clave para la separación de las especies conocidas, las cuales son ilustradas incluyendo los genitales de ambos sexos. Las preferencias tróficas del grupo están orientadas hacia bromelias. Palabras clave: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Leptoscelini, Amblyomia, Bromeli- aceae The neotropical genus Amblyomia Stål was previously known from a single Mexi- can species, A. bifasciata Stål 1870. In the present paper the genus is redefined to in- clude two new species collected in Colombia. This genus apparently is restricted to feeding on members of the Bromeliaceae, and specimens were collected on the heart of Ananas comosus and Aechmea bracteata.

We explore the influence of each gene region on the support given to each node of the most parsimonious tree derived from a combined analysis of all three genes using Partitioned Bremer Support. We also explore the influence of assuming equal weights for all characters in the combined analysis by investigating the stability of clades to different transition/transversion weighting schemes. We find many strongly supported and stable clades in the Nymphalinae. We are also able to identify ‘rogue’

  • 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.

Dentro de esta gran área geográfi ca se encuentran algunos de los ecosistemas más diversos del planeta (selvas tropicales), así como varios de los principales centros de endemismo en el mundo (bosques nublados). Países como Guatemala, en esta gran área biogeográfi ca, tiene grandes zonas de bosque húmedo tropical y bosque mesófi lo, por esta razón es muy importante para analizar la diversidad en la región. Lamentablemente, la fauna de mariposas de Guatemala es poco conocida y por lo tanto, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio y análisis de la composición y la diversidad de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en Guatemala.

  • Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in a Coastal Plain Area in the State of Paraná, Brazil
    62 TROP. LEPID. RES., 26(2): 62-67, 2016 LEVISKI ET AL.: Butterflies in Paraná Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in a coastal plain area in the state of Paraná, Brazil Gabriela Lourenço Leviski¹*, Luziany Queiroz-Santos¹, Ricardo Russo Siewert¹, Lucy Mila Garcia Salik¹, Mirna Martins Casagrande¹ and Olaf Hermann Hendrik Mielke¹ ¹ Laboratório de Estudos de Lepidoptera Neotropical, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Caixa Postal 19.020, 81.531-980, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]٭ Abstract: The coastal plain environments of southern Brazil are neglected and poorly represented in Conservation Units. In view of the importance of sampling these areas, the present study conducted the first butterfly inventory of a coastal area in the state of Paraná. Samples were taken in the Floresta Estadual do Palmito, from February 2014 through January 2015, using insect nets and traps for fruit-feeding butterfly species. A total of 200 species were recorded, in the families Hesperiidae (77), Nymphalidae (73), Riodinidae (20), Lycaenidae (19), Pieridae (7) and Papilionidae (4). Particularly notable records included the rare and vulnerable Pseudotinea hemis (Schaus, 1927), representing the lowest elevation record for this species, and Temenis huebneri korallion Fruhstorfer, 1912, a new record for Paraná. These results reinforce the need to direct sampling efforts to poorly inventoried areas, to increase knowledge of the distribution and occurrence patterns of butterflies in Brazil. Key words: Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, conservation, inventory, species richness. INTRODUCTION the importance of inventories to knowledge of the fauna and its conservation, the present study inventoried the species of Faunal inventories are important for providing knowledge butterflies of the Floresta Estadual do Palmito.

  • The Butterflies of Mississippi­ Supplement No
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(2), 1985, 134-138 THE BUTTERFLIES OF MISSISSIPPI­ SUPPLEMENT NO. 31 BRYANT MATHER2 AND KATHARINE MATHER 213 Mt. Salus Road, Clinton, Mississippi 39056 ABSTRACT. An annotated list of Mississippi butterflies is presented. This updated version is the fifth such list published. Six names additional to the previous lists have been included. Of the five published lists of Mississippi butterflies, this is the first to use the names and arrangement of Miller and Brown (1981) as amend­ ed by them in Hodges (Editor) (1983). It includes six names not in­ cluded in the fourth list (Mather & Mather, 1976). The growth rate has dropped to fewer than one per year as indicated in Table 1 below: TABLE 1. Published lists of Mississippi butterflies, showing rate of increase in the addition of names previously unrecorded from the state. Time Names added List Reference Names interval Names added per year 1 Weed (1894) 53 2 Hutchins (1933) 73 39 20 0.5 3 M. & M. (1958) 122 25 49 1.9 4 M. & M. (1976) 144 18 22 1.2 5 M. & M. (1984) 150 8 6 0.75 In 1958 we expressed the opinion that the list would grow to include about 160 names. We also said, "there may be cases in which the Mississippi representatives of a given species represent more than one population; if so, we do not believe that we as yet have adequate data to support such a conclusion." Now we do. Our reasons for adding the six names are summarized below. 1.

  • Notes on the Life Cycle and Natural History of Butterflies of El Salvador Iii C
    Jou",al of the Le pidopterists' Society 33(2), 1979, 112-123 NOTES ON THE LIFE CYCLE AND NATURAL HISTORY OF BUTTERFLIES OF EL SALVADOR III C. HISTORIS ODIUS AND COEA ACHERONTA (NYMPHALIDAE-COLOBURINAE) ALBERT MUYSHONDT, JR. AND ALBERTO MUYSHONDT 101 Avenida Norte #322, San Salvador, El Salvador ABSTRACT. A complete photo-illustrated report on the early stages of Historis odius (Fabricius) and a partial of Coea acheronta (Fabricius) are presented, which reveals similarities between the two species suggesting a very close relationship. Both species utilize the same foodplant in El Salvador, Cecropia mexicana (Moraceae), whose close relative, C. peltata, has been reported as foodplant in Brazil by some authors under the vernacular name "Embauba." The placement of these two species in the Coloburini is questioned and some striking larval similarities with Smyrna blomfildia and S. karwinskii (both also questionably placed in the Coloburini) and with Pycina zelis (placed among the Vanesiini) are pOinted out. Larvae of Historis odius are subject to heavy parasitization mostly by tachinid flies and one case of nematode parasitization, (Mermis sp.), is recorded. Historis odius is by far more abundant in El Salvador than Coea acheronta and covers a wider range of altitudes. This article presents information on the life cycles and natural histories of the two largest species of butterflies included in the Coloburini: Historis odius (Fabricius) and Coea acheronta (Fabricius).1 The first time we saw the eggs of Historis odius was 6 October 1970 when our good friend Viktor Hellebuyck captured and papered a female. Some 15 eggs were deposited by the female while still alive inside the envelope.

  • ON the OCCURRENCE of ADELPHA Bredowil (Nymphalldle) in OREGON
    1958 The Lepidopterists' News 199 ON THE OCCURRENCE OF ADELPHA BREDOWIl (NYMPHALlDlE) IN OREGON by RALPH W. MACY The recent statement of ARTHUR H. l\10ECK ( Lepid. News 11: 44, 1957) that he had found the California Sister, Adelpha bredowii cali/ornica in southern Oregon, prompts me to report on the distribution and habits of this butterfly in the state. My first experience with these butterflies was in the summer of 1918, on the family farm in a valley in the foothills of the Coast Mountains, near McMinnville, and approximately fifty miles southwest of Portland. They began to appear in numbers following a large migratory flight of N ymphalis cali/ornica. By fall A. bredowii was very abundant so that as many as twenty or more were seen sitting around each of the larger "pringy places in fields, and they were intermingled with hordes of the CalifoT'1ia Tortoise Shells and some other fall butterflies. At first the California Sisters were fresh and there­ fore must have been produced locally. Along with other species, A. bredowii fed on decaying apples, pears, and plums covering the !:round in old orchards. Unfortunately I caught only a few for my collection, not realizing the extent of the bonanza spread before me. In fact I had just started collecting that June, at the age of twelve, but the discovery of each :;pecies which inhabited my valley made a deep and lasting impression. Identification was made with the aid of HOLLAND'S Butterfly Book loaned by a kind neighbor recently arrived from Chicago. Many A.
