2018 £ Sterling Butterfly Pupae Catalogue 2018 £ Sterling Butterfly Pupae Catalogue To the Butterfly Keeper January 2018 2018 Butterfly Pupae Supplies Thank you for downloading our 2018 Sterling pupae price list and order forms. This year the British Pound has stabilized against the American Dollar which has allowed us to keep most of our prices at the same level as 2017. Our close working relationship with Streetwise Couriers has enabled us to keep our carriage costs via APC to remain the same with only a 5% increase in UPS costs to Europe. After many years we are discontinuing our Standard World Mix as we feel that the range of species offered is not broad enough to justify its inclusion in our catalogue. We are replacing it with an Old-World Mix where we will include species from; The Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Tanzania and Kenya. As ever there are several ways to order. You can simply fill out the enclosed forms and post, fax or email them back to us. If you prefer to order from our weekly availability list, then we can email it to you if you provide us with your email address. Or you can find it at www.tropicalbutterflypupae.com We post the new list around 2pm UK time every Friday afternoon. Please be aware our pupae sell out very quickly so if you leave your order until the following week we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fulfil your specific order. A new feature of the list this year will be occasional sales of various species. These will appear when our suppliers have had a particularly good result with any one species and we intend to share the bounty with our customers. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any clarification or help with your orders. May we wish you all a Happy New Year and every success for 2018.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve, the only one in Ghana, was established to promote scientific re- search, particularly on how nature revitalizes itself after major disasters, and also to check the southward drift of the savannah grassland. This study presents the first comprehensive inventory of species composition and diversity of insects of the Reserve. Insects were surveyed between September 2011 and June 2012 to capture the end of the rainy season, the dry season and the peak of the wet season. Samples were taken from two sites within the Reserve, Dagomba and Oku using various sampling techniques including pitfall traps, malaise traps and sweep nets. Insect com- munities were characterized in terms of, 1) species richness estimators, 2) species richness, 3) Shannon-Weiner Index of Diversity, 4) Pielou’s evenness and 5) Bray-Curtis similarity.

Abstract: This study describes the results and collection practices for obtaining arthropod samples to be stud- ied as potential sources of new medicines in a bioprospecting effort. From 1994 to 1998, 1800 arthropod sam- ples of 6-10 g were collected in 21 sites of the Área de Conservación Guancaste (A.C.G) in Northwestern Costa Rica. The samples corresponded to 642 species distributed in 21 orders and 95 families. Most of the collections were obtained in the rainy season and in the tropical rainforest and dry forest of the ACG. Samples were obtained from a diversity of arthropod orders: 49.72% of the samples collected corresponded to Lepidoptera, 15.75% to Coleoptera, 13.33% to Hymenoptera, 11.43% to Orthoptera, 6.75% to Hemiptera, 3.20% to Homoptera and 7.89% to other groups.

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’

RESUMEN La riqueza biológica de Mesoamérica es enorme. 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.

  • An Updated List of the Butterflies of Chile (Lepidoptera

[email protected] ABSTRACT During more than half a century, Luis Peña and later his collaborator Alfredo Ugarte, gathered all known butterfl y data and suspected Chilean specimens to publish their seminal book on the butterfl ies of Chile (Peña and Ugarte 1997). Their work summarized the accumulated knowledge up to the end of the 20th century. Since then much additional work has been done by the authors, resulting in the descriptions of numerous new species as well as establishing new species records for Chile, especially in the families Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae (Satyrinae). The list of these two families is still not com- plete, as several new species will be published soon and will appear in part II of this paper. The present work involving four families updates the Chilean list by: 1) describing one new species of Pieridae, 2) describing one new subspecies of Nymphalidae (Heliconiinae), 3) adding in total 10 species and two subspecies to the Chilean list.

BUTLER, Ph.D., &c., Senior Assiutant-Keeper, Zoological Department. [Read 7th November, 1895.1 ONE of the first genera which 1 ever otudieil, and the Erst which I monographed, was the geiius Charaxes, a paper ou which I published in 1865 in the ' Proceedings ot the Zoological Society,' in which I recorded sixty-eight species (two of which, however, were noted as doubtful and ere subsequently suppremed) : the present paper enumerates no fewer than one hundred and fifty- nine. I have followed Prof. Aurivillius in uuiting Palla to Cliaraxes : if kept separate, it would have to be broken up into several geucra, and Charaxes ithelf would in like inanuer have to be sub- divided ; tliis, indeed, has been done for the Iiidian species by Mr. Moore ; but apart from outline of wing 1have been unable to discover any constant structural characters ou which to base these genera. That wing-outline in Charaxes is not of generic im- portance seems clear, from the fact that (i.) in iuany of the species it differs to an extraordinary degree in the sezes ; (ii.) the most nearly related species (as, for instance, C.

Many butterflies have multiple generations per year, and environmentally induced variation in wing color pattern phenotype allows them to develop adaptations to the specific season in which the adults live.

  • Some East African Butterflies 41
    SOME EAST AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES 41 In this article only those trees and plants which are con• spicuous by their flowers, leaves, or habit of growth have been mentioned, and no account has been taken of cultivated plants with the one exception of those two mentioned as growing at Simba Station. To mention all the trees and plants to be seen near the railway would require a very large volume. The object of the writer has been to try to show the large variety of plants and trees which may be seen by any observant person when travelling on the Uganda Railway. From the bamboos of the Kikuyu escarpment to the mangrove swamps of the coast, with all the enormous variety of plants and conditions of climate between, is a far cry, and yet it can all be seen within twenty-four hours! Specific names have only been given in cases where specimens have been identified at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, or have been identified in the ' Flora of Tropical Africa,' or Engler's' Flora of German East Africa.' [The Solanum campylacanthum mentioned several times in the article i~ one of the best known plants in East Africa both to natives and Europeans; it is generally about two. to three feet high and bears a conspicuous yellow tomato-like fruit about seven-eighths inch in diameter. This fruit plays a part in native ceremonial among the Nandi, Kamasia,Bantu Kavirondo, and A-Kamba, and its influence is generally believed to avert evil or promote peace. The Swahili name is ' Tunguja,' and this name is derived from ' Tungu,' which means a whitlow, because it is believed that a poultice made of the fresh fruit will reduce the swelling and alleviate the pain.-EDITOR.
