This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-nc/4.0/). Abstract: The present paper describes the immature stages of two species of Moneuptychia, namely Moneuptychia soter, the type species of the genus, and Moneuptychia vitellina. The immature stages of the two species are very similar; eggs are white and round, with longitudinal and transverse ribs; first instars are light green, turning light brown with longitudinal zigzag stripes in the last instars; pupae are short, brown, without ornamentation or projections and with short squared ocular caps. The immature stages of both species here described are quite similar to other species of the genus Moneuptychia and to other representatives of the “Megisto clade”, underlining the potential importance of immature stages as sources of phylogenetically informative characters in Euptychiina. -

Corresponding author: André Victor Lucci Freitas ([email protected]) http://zoobank.org/8A5B6C6D-E0C7-469B-9763-13BA133708B7 ABSTRACT. The present paper describes the immature stages of the Neotropical satyrine butterfly Euptychia mollina (Hübner, [1813]) from the Brazilian Amazon Forest. Eggs were laid singly on the under surface of the fronds of its host plant, Selaginella sp. (Bryophyta: Selaginellaceae). Larvae are solitary in all instars, presenting a color pattern and shape that make them cryptic on its host plant. The pupa is short, smooth and varies from rusty brown to green. Despite the lack of a close phylogenetic relationship, larvae of Euptychia are very similar to those of the paleotropical satyrines Ragadia and Acrophtalmia, suggesting that camouflage is likely to be one of the factors explaining the similarities among them.

Thermal Tolerance of Fruit-Feeding Butterflies

Predicting how climate change may affect species distributions is a complicated task. However, it is possible to estimate species’ physiological constraints through maximum critical temperature, which may indicate if the species can tolerate new climates. Butterflies are useful organisms for studies of thermal tolerance. We tested if species have different thermal tolerances and if different habitats influence the thermal tolerance of the butterflies present in Brazil’s campo rupestre (open areas) and forest islands (shaded areas). A total of 394 fruit-feeding butterflies, comprising 45 species, were tested. The results separated the species into two statistically different groups: the resistant species with maximum critical temperature of 53.8 7.4 C, and the non-resistant species with maximum critical temperature ± ◦ of 48.2 7.4 C. The species of butterflies displayed differences in maximum critical temperature ± ◦ between the campo rupestre and forest islands that can be related to the two distinct habitats, but this did not correlate phylogenetically. -

Elucidating the Phylogenetic Relationships in the Group of “Taygetis ” Butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae: Euptychiina) and Dating Its Phylogeny

This group of butterflies is named as the “ Taygetis clade” and it belongs to one of the five major groups in the highly diverse subtribe Euptychiina, occurring exclusively in the Neotropics or roughly the entire Latin America. “ Taygetis clade” is apparently a natural or monophyletic group based on their phylogenetic relationships. Furthermore, previous studies indicate that such group is largely congruent and well supported but the relations within the clade is unclear, plagued by unnatural genera and many undescribed species. In this sense, the main aims of this study is to propose a phylogenetic hypothesis on the “Taygetis clade” inferred from molecular information, to test the monophyly of each of the nine genera within “ Taygetis clade” and to estimate the times of origin and diversifi- cation of the species in the group. -
