  • An Updated List of the Butterflies of Chile (Lepidoptera
    9 Boletín del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Chile, 63: 9-31 (2014) AN UPDATED LIST OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF CHILE (LEPIDOPTERA, PAPILIONOIDEA AND HESPERIOIDEA) INCLUDING DISTRIBUTION, FLIGHT PERIOD AND CONSERVATION STATUS PART I, COMPRISING THE FAMILIES: PAPILIONIDAE, PIERIDAE, NYM- PHALIDAE (IN PART) AND HESPERIIDAE DESCRIBING A NEW SPECIES OF HYPSOCHILA (PIERIDAE) AND A NEW SUBSPECIES OF YRAMEA MODESTA (NYMPHALIDAE) Dubi Benyamini1, Alfredo Ugarte2, Arthur M.

[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.

    Zootaxa 1022: 1–35 (2005) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1022 Copyright © 2005 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) An annotated catalog of types of Neotropical Pierinae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC STANISLAV P. ABADJIEV 81 Lyuben Karavelov Street, Sofia 1000, Bulgaria. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A catalog of the type material of 59 taxa of Neotropical Pierinae housed in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, is presented. Each entry includes the species-group name, the original combination quoted from the original publication, the type locality, the type specimens with their labels, and notes about current taxonomic status. One new synonym has been established, Euterpe dysoni Doubleday, 1847 = Leodonta marginata Schaus, 1902. Lectotypes are designated for 5 species group taxa: Archonias intermedia Schaus, 1913, Hesperocharis jaliscana Schaus, 1898, H. paranensis Schaus, 1898, Pieris sublineata Schaus, 1902, and P. limona Schaus, 1913. Key words: Anthocharis, Catasticta, Charonias, Euchloe, Ganyra, Hesperocharis, Hypsochila, Infraphulia, Leodonta, Piercolias, Pierphulia, Phulia, synonymy, Tatochila, taxonomy INTRODUCTION The application of scientific names depends upon the ability to recognize name-bearing species group types (holotypes, lectotypes, syntypes). Publishing lists of these types housed at institutions is recommended (ICZN, 1999: 72F.4). The National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC (USNM) (Pl. 1: Fig. 1) is a depository of one of the largest and most important collections of Neotropical Lepidoptera, including butterflies. Here the butterfly collection forms a considerable part of the Department of Entomology collections and is stored in metal cabinets, each of which can hold 29 drawers (Pl.

Much of our current under- standing is based primarily on detailed morphological observations made 50–70 years ago. However, the family and its putative four subfamilies and two tribes, have rarely been subjected to rigorous phylogenetic analysis. Here we present results based on an analysis of molecular characters used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Pieridae in order to infer higher-level classification above the generic level and patterns of historical biogeography. Our sample contained 90 taxa representing 74 genera and six subgenera, or 89% of all genera recognized in the family. Three complementary approaches were

  • Revised Systematics and Higher Classification of Pierid Butterflies
    Zoologica Scripta Revised systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on molecular data NIKLAS WAHLBERG,JADRANKA ROTA,MICHAEL F. BRABY,NAOMI E. PIERCE & CHRISTOPHER W. WHEAT Submitted: 5 May 2014 Wahlberg, N., Rota, J., Braby, M.F., Pierce, N.E. & Wheat, C.W. (2014). Revised Accepted: 12 July 2014 systematics and higher classification of pierid butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) based on doi:10.1111/zsc.12075 molecular data. — Zoologica Scripta, 43, 641–650. The butterfly family Pieridae comprises approximately 1000 described species placed in 85 genera, but the higher classification has not yet been settled. We used molecular data from eight gene regions (one mitochondrial and seven nuclear protein-coding genes) com- prising a total of ~6700 bp from 96 taxa to infer a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the family. Based on this hypothesis, we revise the higher classification for all pierid genera. We resurrect the tribe Teracolini stat. rev. in the subfamily Pierinae to include the genera Teracolus, Pinacopteryx, Gideona, Ixias, Eronia, Colotis and most likely Calopieris. We transfer Hebomoia to the tribe Anthocharidini and assign the previously unplaced gen- era Belenois and Dixeia to the subtribe Aporiina. Three lineages near the base of Pierinae (Leptosia, Elodina and Nepheronia + Pareronia) remain unplaced. For each of these, we describe and delineate new tribes: Elodinini Braby tribus nova, Leptosiaini Braby tribus nova and Nepheroniini Braby tribus nova. The proposed higher classification is based on well-supported monophyletic groups and is likely to remain stable even with the addition of more data.

  • A Primary Insight Into the Molecular Phylogeny of Colias FABRICIUS, 1807 (Pieridae, Coliadinae) Complex of South America
    A primary insight into the molecular phylogeny of Colias FABRICIUS, 1807 (Pieridae, Coliadinae) complex of South America Alexander V. Kir’yanov Centro de Investigaciones en Optica Loma del bosque 115, Col. Lomas del Campestre, Leon 37150, GTO., Mexico [email protected] Abstract The data on molecular phylogeny of the Colias FABRICIUS complex of South America (SA), obtained via barcoding a mitochondrial part of genome, are reported. Barcoding was trialed employing the Barcoding of Life Database platform and comprised 93 specimens of SA Colias species and 2 outgroup specimens (C. philodice guatemalena RÖBER from North America). It is established that Colias species from SA form a single monophyletic clade, characterized by notable interspecific mutational divergences (3.5–4.5%) and moderate intraspecific ones (0.3–0.9%). It also reveals the occurrence of three well-established, or notably diverged genetically, species (C. dimera DOUBLEDAY & HEWITSON, C. vauthierii GUERIN-MENEVILLE, and C. alticola GODMANN & SALVIN stat. nov., the latter re-raised to specific level), plus a complex of three ‘emerging’ species (C. lesbia FABRICIUS, C. euxanthe FELDER & FELDER, and C. flaveola BLANCHARD), weakly differentiated in mitochondrial part of genome, with intersecting haplotypes. Furthermore, it disregards the specific status of taxa weberbaueri STRAND, mossi ROTHSCHILD, nigerrima FASSL, erika LAMAS, blameyi JÖRGENSEN, and mendozina BREYER, as certain evidences are being brought to consider them as subspecies of a clinal type of ‘super-species’ C. flaveola s. lat. The clade formed by all SA Colias is found to be sister to the clade that comprises all Colias species occurring outside the region (i.e. in Eurasia, North America, and Africa).

Gajardo, Universidad de in the neoriparian vegetation of agricultural sites. We also include historical sightings Los Lagos, Chile from museum records. We compare abundances between altitudes, between natural *Correspondence: and impacted sites, as well as between two sampling years with different precipitation Emma Despland, Department of regimes.The results confirm high altitudinal turnover and show greatest similarity between Biology, Concordia University, wetland and slope faunas at similar altitudes. Results also underscore vulnerability to 7141 Sherbrooke West, Montréal, QC H4B 1R6, Canada weather fluctuations, particularly in the more arid low-altitude sites, where abundances e-mail: [email protected] were much lower in the low precipitation sampling season and several species were not observed at all. Finally, we show that some species have shifted to the neoriparian vegetation of the agricultural landscape, whereas others were only observed in less impacted habitats dominated by native plants. These results suggest that acclimation to novel habitats depends on larval host plant use.
