Inter-Island Variation in the Butterfly Hipparchia (Pseudotergumia) Wyssii (Christ, 1889) (Lepidoptera, Satyrinae) in the Canary Islands *David A
Nota lepid. 17 (3/4): 175-200 ;30.1V.1995 ISSN 0342-7536 Inter-island variation in the butterfly Hipparchia (Pseudotergumia) wyssii (Christ, 1889) (Lepidoptera, Satyrinae) in the Canary Islands *David A. S. SMITH*& Denis E OWES** * Natural History bluseurn, Eton College. H’indsor, Berkshire SL4 6EW. England ** School of Biological and Molecular Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Headinpon, Oxford 0x3 OBP, England (l) Summary Samples of the endemic Canary grayling butterfly, Hipparchia (Pseudoter- gumia) wyssii (Christ, 1889), were obtained from al1 five of the Canary Islands where it occurs. Each island population comprises a distinct subspecies but the differences between thern are quantitative rather than qualitative ; hence a systern is devised by which elernents of the wing pattern are scored to permit quantitative analysis. The results demonstrate significant inter-island differences in wing size and wing pattern. The underside of the hindwing shows the greatest degree of inter-island vanation. This is the only wing surface that is always visible in a resting butterfly ; its coloration is highly cryptic and it is suggested that the pattern was evolved in response to selection by predators long before H. wyssii or its ancestors reached the Canaries. Subsequent evolution of the details of the wing pattern differed frorn island to island because each island population was probably founded by few individuals with only a fraction of the genetic diversity of the species. It is postulated that the basic “grayling” wing pattern is determined by natural selection, but the precise expression of this pattern on each island is circumscnbed by the limited gene pool of the original founders. -

The Canary Islands
The Canary Islands Dragon Trees & Blue Chaffinches A Greentours Tour Report 7th – 16th February 2014 Leader Başak Gardner Day 1 07.02.2014 To El Patio via Guia de Isora I met the half of the group at the airport just before midday and headed towards El Guincho where our lovely hotel located. We took the semi coastal road up seeing the xerophytic scrub gradually changing to thermophile woodland and then turned towards El Teide mountain into evergreen tree zone where the main tree was Pinus canariensis. Finally found a suitable place to stop and then walked into forest to see our rare orchid, Himantoglossum metlesicsiana. There it was standing on its own in perfect condition. We took as many pics as possible and had our picnic there as well. We returned to the main road and not long after we stopped by the road side spotting several flowering Aeonium holochrysum. It was a very good stop to have a feeling of typical Canary Islands flora. We encountered plants like Euphorbia broussonetii and canariensis, Kleinia neriifolia, Argyranthemum gracile, Aeonium urbicum, Lavandula canariensis, Sonchus canariensis, Rumex lunaria and Rubia fruticosa. Driving through the windy roads we finally came to Icod De Los Vinos to see the oldest Dragon Tree. They made a little garden of native plants with some labels on and the huge old Dragon Tree in the middle. After spending some time looking at the plants that we will see in natural habitats in the following days we drove to our hotel only five minutes away. The hotel has an impressive drive that you can see the huge area of banana plantations around it. -

Ceropegia mizoramensis and C. murlensis (Asclepiadaceae) are described here for the first time. The species are collected from Mizoram, Northeast India. The present communication deals with the brief description and photo illustrations of both the species along with key to species found in the region for their easier identification. KEY WORDS: Asclepiadaceae, Ceropegia, India, ITS, Mizoram, New taxa. INTRODUCTION of Ceropegias were collected. The study of the vegetative as well as flowering stages of the collected The genus Ceropegia instated by Linnaeus in 1753 plants revealed two unusual specimens. We compared includes approximately 260 species, distributed in the specimens with morphologically similar Ceropegia South-east Asia, India, Madagascar, Tropical Arabia, oculata and C. dolichophylla and observed a number of Canary Islands, Africa except Mediterranean region, differences (Table 1, 2).

North Africa Is the Source of Ancestral Populations of All Pararge Species
Systematic Entomology (2006), DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3113.2006.00333.x Speciation in Pararge (Satyrinae: Nymphalidae) butterflies – North Africa is the source of ancestral populations of all Pararge species ELISABET WEINGARTNER, NIKLAS WAHLBERG and SO¨REN NYLIN Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract. The genus Pararge comprises three species: P. aegeria, distributed in Europe and North Africa; P. xiphia, endemic to Madeira; and P. xiphioides,endemic to the Canary Islands. Two subspecies are recognized in P. aegeria, P. a. tircis and P. a. aegeria, distributed in northern and southern Europe, respectively. In the 1970s, P. aegeria appeared on Madeira. However, despite the status of P. aegeria as a model species in ecological studies, the evolutionary history of Pararge remains unknown. We studied the phylogenetic relationships of the three Pararge species, using the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I and the nuclear gene wingless to infer modes and times of speciation. On the basis of our analyses, Pararge forms a strongly supported monophyletic group, with the DNA haplotypes of the three species also forming well-supported monophyletic groups. We found that P. xiphia diverged first from the common ancestor a maximum of five million years ago, with P. xiphioides and P. aegeria being sister species that diverged a maximum of three million years ago. The two subspecies, P. a. tircis and P. a. aegeria,werenot distinguishable on the basis of DNA haplotypes; instead, our data clearly distin- guished between European specimens and those from North Africa. Madeiran P. aegeria has North African haplotypes and thus originated from there rather than from Europe. -

Ecological Data of Isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) in Laurel Forests from the Western Canary Islands
VIERAEA Vol. 33 41-50 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, diciembre 2005 ISSN 0210-945X Ecological data of isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea) in laurel forests from the Western Canary Islands ERIK ARNDT* & DIRK MATTERN** * Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Department LOEL, Strenzfelder Allee 28, D-06406 Bernburg, Germany. Correspondence address. **Ahornweg 15, D-99867 Gotha, Germany. ARNDT, E. & D. MATTERN (2005). Datos ecológicos de isópodos (Crustacea: Oniscidea) en bosques de laurisilva de las islas canarias occidentales. VIERAEA 33: 41-50. RESUMEN: Se examinó la fauna de isópodos en diferentes bosques de laurisilva de La Gomera, El Hierro y La Palma (Canarias Occidentales), con datos obtenidos de trampas pitfall y muestras de suelo, citándose un total de 11 especies. Las comunidades de especies de bosques de La Gomera y El Hierro por una parte, y las de La Palma por otra, fueron muy diferentes a pesar de la similitud de la estructura forestal, la vegetación arbórea y las condiciones climáticas en las tres islas. La especie nativa Porcellio meridionalis es dominante en La Gomera y El Hierro, y alcanza su mayor abundancia en localidades frescas y húmedas por encima de 1200 m s.n.m. En todas las localidades forestales de La Palma fue siempre dominante Armadillidium vulgare, a menudo acompañada por pequeños Trichoniscidae endogeos. Cinco de las especies mencionadas han sido introducidas en las islas por el hombre en fechas históricas. Esas especies invasoras dominan cuantitativamente en muchos sitios del estudio, con una media en la proporción de especímenes invasivos:nativos de 3,1:1 en trampas pitfall, y de 1,1:1 en muestras de suelo.
