NOTES ON SIPROET A AND MET AMORPHA WITH FIGURES OF SIPROETA EPAPHUS GADOUI MASTERS (NYMPHALIDAE) JOHN H. MASTERS 5211 Southern Avenue, South Gate, California 90280 Siproeta epaphus gadoui Masters (1967) was described from a series of specimens collected by Albert and Mary Lou Gadou at El Pao, Bolivar, Venezuela. The subspecies is of particular interest because it is inter­ mediate in many respects between S. epaphus (Latreille) and S. trayja Hubner, which have been considered to be distinct species in the past. S. gadoui appears to be derived from trayja stock rather than from the geographically adjacent epaphus, although the entire Amazon Valley now separates trayja and gadoui. The description of gadoui was hurried in order to make the name available for a genus revision by Richard M. Fox and Alden C. Forbes and the new subspecies was not figured. The original description did promise figures in the coming revision of Fox & Forbes. The senior author of this revision, R. M. Fox, died on 25 April 1968 with the manuscript partially completed. F. Martin Brown com­ pleted the manuscript which was finally published on 24 December 1971, albeit without figuring gadoui. I feel that it is important to figure this interesting butterfly and figures are hereby presented (Fig. 1). The Fox & Forbes revision (1971) may not be readily available to all lepidopterists and a summary may be useful. The genus Metamorpha was divided into two genera: Metamorpha Hubner (type species elissa Hubner), and Siproeta Hubner (type species trayja Hubner). Differences were cited in venation (in M etamorpha a vestige of the posterior tip of the third disco cell ular is present on the forewing), male forelegs (in Siproeta the tarsus is little more than half the length of the tibia, in Metamorpha 236 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY Fig. 1.

(PAPILIONIDAE) That the larvae of Papilio polyxenes F., the eastern black swallowtail butterfly, feed solely on plants of the carrot family, the Umbelliferae, is well documented (e.g., Scudder 1889, The Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada II; Holland 1931, The Butterfly Book; Dethier 1941, Amer. Nat. 75: 61-73; Forbes 1960, Lepidoptera of New York and Neighboring States IV). The following three umbelli­ fers have not previously been reported as larval food plants for this species. On 1 June 1970, at the summit of Shaw's Ridge, Highland County, Virginia, I found two P. polyxenes larvae feeding on a meadow parsnip, Thaspium barbinode (Michx.) Nutt., which was growing in company with golden alexanders, Zizia aptera ( Gray) Fern., on a dry roadside bank along Route 250. I reared the larvae to .

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’

  • A Molecular Phylogeny of the Neotropical Butterfly Genus Anartia

Blum,a,b,* Eldredge Bermingham,b and Kanchon Dasmahapatrab,c a Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27705, USA b Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Naos Island Molecular Laboratories, Unit 0948, APO-AA 34002-0948, Panama, FL, USA c Department of Biology, Galton Laboratory, University College, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, UK Received 2 August 2001; received in revised form 17 June 2002 Abstract While Anartia butterflies have served as model organisms for research on the genetics of speciation, no phylogeny has been published to describe interspecific relationships. Here, we present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Anartia species relationships, using both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Analyses of both data sets confirm earlier predictions of sister species pairings based primarily on genital morphology. Yet both the mitochondrial and nuclear gene phylogenies demonstrate that Anartia jatrophae is not sister to all other Anartia species, but rather that it is sister to the Anartia fatima–Anartia amathea lineage. Traditional bi- ogeographic explanations for speciation across the genus relied on A. jatrophae being sister to its congeners. These explanations invoked allopatric divergence of sister species pairs and multiple sympatric speciation events to explain why A. jatrophae flies alongside all its congeners. The molecular phylogenies are more consistent with lineage divergence due to vicariance, and range expansion of A. jatrophae to explain its sympatry with congeners. Further interpretations of the tree topologies also suggest how morphological evolution and eco-geographic adaptation may have set species range boundaries.

  • Arizona Wildlife Notebook
    ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork.

  • Tympanal Ears in Nymphalidae Butterflies: Morphological Diversity and Tests on the Function of Hearing
    Tympanal Ears in Nymphalidae Butterflies: Morphological Diversity and Tests on the Function of Hearing by Laura E. Hall A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © 2014 Laura E. Hall i Abstract Several Nymphalidae butterflies possess a sensory structure called the Vogel’s organ (VO) that is proposed to function in hearing. However, little is known about the VO’s structure, taxonomic distribution or function. My first research objective was to examine VO morphology and its accessory structures across taxa. Criteria were established to categorize development levels of butterfly VOs and tholi. I observed that enlarged forewing veins are associated with the VOs of several species within two subfamilies of Nymphalidae. Further, I discovered a putative light/temperature-sensitive organ associated with the VOs of several Biblidinae species. The second objective was to test the hypothesis that insect ears function to detect bird flight sounds for predator avoidance. Neurophysiological recordings collected from moth ears show a clear response to flight sounds and chirps from a live bird in the laboratory. Finally, a portable electrophysiology rig was developed to further test this hypothesis in future field studies. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank David Hall who spent endless hours listening to my musings and ramblings regarding butterfly ears, sharing in the joy of my discoveries, and comforting me in times of frustration. Without him, this thesis would not have been possible. I thank Dr.

  • Butterflies and Vegetation in Restored Gullies of Different Ages at the Colombian Western Andes*
    BOLETÍN CIENTÍFICO ISSN 0123 - 3068 bol.cient.mus.hist.nat. 14 (2): 169 - 186 CENTRO DE MUSEOS MUSEO DE HISTORIA NATURAL BUTTERFLIES AND VEGETATION IN RESTORED GULLIES OF DIFFERENT AGES AT THE COLOMBIAN WESTERN ANDES* Oscar Ascuntar-Osnas1, Inge Armbrecht1 & Zoraida Calle2 Abstract Erosion control structures made with green bamboo Guadua angustifolia and high density plantings have been combined efficiently for restoring gullies in the Andean hillsides of Colombia. However, the effects of these practices on the native fauna have not been evaluated. Richness and abundance of diurnal lepidopterans were studied between 2006-2007 in five 10 m2 transects within each of eight gullies. Four gullies restored using the method mentioned above (6, 9, 12 and 23 months following intervention), each with its corresponding control (unrestored gully) were sampled four times with a standardized method. A vegetation inventory was done at each gully. More individuals and species (971, 84 respectively) were found in the restored gullies than in the control ones (501, 66). The number of butterfly species tended to increase with rehabilitation time. Ten plant species, out of 59, were important sources of nectar for lepidopterans. Larval parasitoids were also found indicating the presence of trophic chains in the study area. This paper describes the rapid and positive response of diurnal adult butterflies to habitat changes associated with ecological rehabilitation of gullies through erosion control structures and high density planting. Introducing and maintaining a high biomass and diversity of plants may help to reestablish the food chain and ecological processes in degraded Andean landscapes. Key words: ecological restoration, erosion control, Guadua angustifolia, Lepidoptera, nectar.
