Type-species: Euptera sirene Staudinger, by subsequent designation (Hemming, 1943. Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society of London (B) 12: 27 (23-30).). The genus Euptera belongs to the Family Nymphalidae Rafinesque, 1815; Subfamily Limenitidinae Behr, 1864; Tribe Adoliadini Doubleday, 1845; Subtribe Bebearina Hemming, 1960. The other genera in the Subtribe Bebearina in the Afrotropical Region are Evena, Aterica, Pseudargynnis, Cynandra, Euryphura, Euryphaedra, Euryphurana, Euphaedra, Euriphene, Bebearia and Pseudathyma. Euptera (Pilots) is an Afrotropical genus containing 35 species. Generic revision by Libert et al., 2002. Relevant literature: Amiet & Libert, 2002 [Biogeography].

Habitat: Forest. Habits: Despite the vernacular name this is not a common butterfly (Larsen, 2005a). Known to be attracted by fermenting bananas (Congdon & Collins, 1998). In the mornings males perch high up on trees (Larsen, 1991c). Females are mostly encountered inside the forest and closely resemble Pseudoneptis bugandensis in flight (Larsen, 1991c). Larsen (2005a) states that a male and female, with legs intertwined, once dropped down in front of him, perhaps indicating a “lack of delicacy in the courtship procedure”. Early stages: Amiet, 1998.

INTRODUCTION BY G. TALBOT. It is important to know exactly where type specimens are to be found. The British Museum set an example by publishing catalogues of some of their Rhopalocera types, and we hope this will be continued. Mr. Gabriel, who was responsible for that work, has been asked by Mr. Joicey to prepare a catalogue for the Hill Museum. The original description of almost every name in this catalogue has been examined for the correct reference, and where the sex or habitat was wrongly quoted, the necessary correction has been made.

  • Some Endemic Butterflies of Eastern Africa and Malawi
    SOME ENDEMIC BUTTERFLIES OF EASTERN AFRICA AND MALAWI T C E Congdon, Ivan Bampton* *ABRI, P O Box 14308, Nairobi Kenya Abstract: The ‘Eastern Arc’ of Kenya and Tanzania is defined in terms of its butterfly fauna. Butterflies endemic to it and neighbouring ecological zones are listed. The ‘Tanzania-Malawi Highlands’ are identified as an ecological zone. Distributions of the endemic butterflies within the Eastern Arc and other zones are examined. Some possible causes of endemism are suggested. Conservation issues are discussed. An updated list of the endemic Butterflies of Tanzania is given. Key words and phrases: Endemism, biodiversity, conservation, ecological zones, East African Coastal Belt, Eastern Arc Mountains, Tanzania-Malawi Highlands. Introduction The Study Area includes the whole of Tanzania, with extensions to include coastal Kenya and the highlands of Malawi. Ecological zones within the study area are identified. Butterflies endemic within the study area are listed by zone, and distributions within two of the zones are examined in detail. The conservation status of important forests is discussed and the most vulnerable areas are identified. In the Appendix (I) we provide an updated checklist of Tanzania’s endemic species. Methods and Materials Ecological zones are defined. The species endemic to each zone are listed, together with their distribution within the zone and altitude range within which they are known to occur (Table 1): totals are given. In the discussion section zonal endemism is examined. Species endemic to individual mountain blocks are scheduled in Table 2 and totals are given. Conservation priorities are discussed. The number of species each block shares with each other block is tabulated (Table 3) together with the total of species so shared present on each block.

The molecular data matrix comprised 205 Limenitidinae species, four outgroups, and 11,327 aligned nucleotide sites using up to 18 genes per species of which seven genes (CycY, Exp1, Nex9, PolII, ProSup, PSb and UDPG6DH) have not previously been used in phylogenetic studies. We recovered the monophyly of the subfamily Limenitidinae and seven higher clades corresponding to four traditional tribes Parthenini, Adoliadini, Neptini, Limenitidini as well as three additional independent lineages. One contains the genera Harma C Cymothoe and likely a third, Bhagadatta, and the other two indepen- dent lineages lead to Pseudoneptis and to Pseudacraea. These independent lineages are circumscribed as new tribes. Parthenini was recovered as sister to rest of Limenitidinae, but the relationships of the remaining six lineages were ambiguous. A number of genera were found to be non-monophyletic, with Pantoporia, Euthalia, Athyma, and Parasarpa being polyphyletic, whereas Limenitis, Neptis, Bebearia, Euryphura, and Adelpha were paraphyletic.

  • The Lepidopterists' News
    The Lepidopterists' News THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY P. O. Box 104, Cambridge 38, Massachusetts • Edited by C. 1. REMINGTON and H. K. CLENCH Vol. ,I, No.7 November, 194'7 There has always been a tendency for Lepidopterists to segregate themselves from other entomologists, often with the result that they fail to apply advancement of other phases of entomology (and zoology) and lose the balanced approach necessary to good scientific work. A primary aim of the Lep.SQc.,through the !ffi1dS, ' is to reduce ,this barrier. In North America there are several local ,entomological societies , holding regular me-etings and in some cases publishing their own general journal, There is one correlating SOCiety, THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIRTY OF AMERICA~ which ,has members from all parts 'of the continent. Lepid­ opterists should be aware of its existence, its functions, and its ac­ tivities. It is hoped that all Lep.Soc. members devoting much time to entomological research will want to become ' members of the E.S.A. if they have not yet done so. A short aceount of ,the history and activi­ ties of this Society will help to acquaint Lep_ Soc. members with it. T,RE 'ENTOl'/fOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA was .organized in 1906 as a re­ sult of a spontaneous demand, and under the leadership of Prof. John H. Comstock, Dr. hilliam Morton \meeler, Dr. L.O. Howard,' Dr. Henry Skin­ ner, J. Chester Bradley, and others. By the end of its first year the Society had over 400 members and had Professor Comstock as its first president.
