  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Phyciodes Butterfly Species (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): Complex Mtdna Variation and Species Delimitations
    Systematic Entomology (2003) 28, 257±273 Phylogenetic relationships of Phyciodes butterfly species (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): complex mtDNA variation and species delimitations NIKLAS WAHLBERG*, RITA OLIVEIRA* andJAMES A. SCOTTy *Metapopulation Research Group, Department of Ecology and Systematics, University of Helsinki, Finland, and yLakewood, Colorado, U.S.A. Abstract. Mitochondrial DNA variation wasstudied in the butterfly genus Phyciodes (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) by sequencing 1450 bp of the COI gene from 140 individuals of all eleven currently recognized species. The study focused on four species in particular that have been taxonomically difficult for the past century, P. tharos, P. cocyta, P. batesii and P. pulchella. A cladistic analysis of ninety-eight unique haplotypesshowedthat Phyciodes formsa monophyletic group with P. graphica as the most basal species. Of the three informal species groupsdescribed for Phyciodes, only one (the mylitta-group) isunambiguously monophyletic. Within the tharos-group, seven well supported clades were found that correspond to three taxa, P. tharos, P. pulchella and a grade consisting of P. cocyta and P. batesii haplotypesinterdigitated with each other. None of the clades is formed exclusively by one species. The patterns of haplotype variation are the result of both retained ancient polymorphism and introgression. Introgression appearsto be mostcommon between P. cocyta and P. batesii; however, these two species occur sympatrically and are morphologically and ecologically distinct, suggesting that the level of current introgression does not seem to be enough to threaten their genetic integrity. The results indicate that mitochondrial DNA sequences must be used with great caution in delimiting species, especially when infraspecific samples are few, or introgression seems to be rampant.

Heavy-mineral concentrate consists of chromite, epidote, and garnet. Small gold-cinnabar occurrences are presumably sources for the placer. Deposit occurs along the Il'inka River near where it discharges into Tatar Strait. Alluvium of the first (lowest) floodplain terrace is gold-bearing. V.D. Sidorenko , 1977.

Fineness: 812-864 Gold occurs in gravels of ancient river channels, and reworked gravels in modern river bed and banks. The bedrock to the gravels is Shulaps serpentinite and Bridge River slate. The source of the gold may be quartz-pyrite-gold veins that are hosted in Permo-Triassic diorite, gabbro and greenstone within the Caldwallader Break, including Bralorne and Pioneer mines. Primary mineralization is associated with Late Cretaceous porphyry dikes. Bridge River area was worked for placer gold as early as 1860, but production figures were included with Fraser River figures until 1902. B.C. Minfile, 1991.

  • Biology and Systematics of Phyciodes (Phyciodes)
    cf#']i:z 10 Feb. 20, 1998 PAPILIO ~ $4.00 - ..- ·-- .. -· - ~- - PHYCIODES (PHYCIOD£S): N£W DISCOVERIES, NEW SUBSPECIES, AND comf£R6ENCE by DR. JAMES A. SCOTT 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80226 Abstract. The paper presents new discoveries in Phyciodes (Phyciodes ). New life history information is given for P. mylitta arizonensis, P. pallida pallida, P. pallida barnesi, P. tharos tharos, P. cocyta selenis, P. cocyta dimin'utor, P. batesii lakota, P. b. apsaalooke, P. b. anasazi, P. pulchella camillus, and P. picta picta. P. batesii anasazi was found to significantly converge toward P. cocyta in western Colorado in appearance of some adults larvae and pupae, and P. cocyta selenis from the same area was found to converge a little toward anasazi in adult wing pattern and larval head pattern, so some individuals of these two tax.a are difficult to distinguish. The nomenclatural identity of P. tharos form marcia is clarified. Five new subspecies are named: P. tharos orantain has orange antenna nudum and is somewhat intermediate between P. tharos tharos and P. cocyta. P. cocyta diminutor is multivoltine with late-flying summer generations that are small like P. tharos, and might possibly even be a separate species from the sympatric univoltine larger P. cocyta selenis. P. pulchella deltarufa has oranger ups than ssp. pulchella. P. pulchella owimba differs from ssp. pulchella by having an orange antenna nudum and some different wing pattern details. P. phaon jalapeno has paler median ups bands. INTRODUCTION Scott (1994) reported on the systematics and biology of Phyciodes (Phyciodes), described numerous new life histories, named five new tax.a, and corrected prior nomenclature.

Acknowledgments Our research team has conducted butterfly surveys for nine consecutive years, from 2002 through 2010, with 2002-2004 introductory to the lands and species, and 2005-2010 in more depth. My valuable field team this year was composed of friends with sharp eyes and ready binoculars Larry Crowley who recorded not only the butterflies but blossoming plants and wildlife joined by Jean Morgan and Amy Chu both joined enthusiastic butterfly chasers. Venice Kelley and John Barr, professional photographers, joined us on many surveys. With their digital photos we are often able to classify the hard-to-identify butterflies later on at the desk. The surveys have been within Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) lands. Therese Glowacki, Manager-Resource Manager, issued a Special Collection Permit for access into the Open Spaces; Susan Spaulding, Wildlife Specialist, oversaw research, maintained records of our monographs and organized seminars for presentation of data.

    PAPILIO (NEW SERIES) # 25 2016 ISSN 2372-9449 ERNEST J. OSLAR, 1858-1944: HIS TRAVEL AND COLLECTION ITINERARY, AND HIS BUTTERFLIES by James A. Scott, Ph.D. in entomology University of California Berkeley, 1972 (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. Ernest John Oslar collected more than 50,000 butterflies and moths and other insects and sold them to many taxonomists and museums throughout the world. This paper attempts to determine his travels in America to collect those specimens, by using data from labeled specimens (most in his remaining collection but some from published papers) plus information from correspondence etc. and a few small field diaries preserved by his descendants. The butterfly specimens and their localities/dates in his collection in the C. P. Gillette Museum (Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado) are detailed. This information will help determine the possible collection locations of Oslar specimens that lack accurate collection data. Many more biographical details of Oslar are revealed, and the 26 insects named for Oslar are detailed. Introduction The last collection of Ernest J. Oslar, ~2159 papered butterfly specimens and several moths, was found in the C. P. Gillette Museum, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado by Paul A. Opler, providing the opportunity to study his travels and collections. Scott & Fisher (2014) documented specimens sent by Ernest J. Oslar of about 100 Argynnis (Speyeria) nokomis nokomis Edwards labeled from the San Juan Mts. and Hall Valley of Colorado, which were collected by Wilmatte Cockerell at Beulah New Mexico, and documented Oslar’s specimens of Oeneis alberta oslari Skinner labeled from Deer Creek Canyon, [Jefferson County] Colorado, September 25, 1909, which were collected in South Park, Park Co.
