It will however remain, together with the four completed volumes of the " Bulletin of the Hill Museum," as a lasting memorial to to the magnificent collection of Lepidoptera amassed by Mr. Joicey, and to the work carried out at the Hill Museum under his auspices. G. Talbot. Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries CATALOGUE OF THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPIDOPTERA RHOPALOCERA IN THE HILL MUSEUM. By A. G. GABRIEL, F.E.S. 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.

  • Colourful Butterfly Wings: Scale Stacks, Iridescence and Sexual Dichromatism of Pieridae Doekele G
    158 entomologische berichten 67(5) 2007 Colourful butterfly wings: scale stacks, iridescence and sexual dichromatism of Pieridae Doekele G. Stavenga Hein L. Leertouwer KEY WORDS Coliadinae, Pierinae, scattering, pterins Entomologische Berichten 67 (5): 158-164 The colour of butterflies is determined by the optical properties of their wing scales. The main scale structures, ridges and crossribs, scatter incident light. The scales of pierid butterflies have usually numerous pigmented beads, which absorb light at short wavelengths and enhance light scattering at long wavelengths. Males of many species of the pierid subfamily Coliadinae have ultraviolet-iridescent wings, because the scale ridges are structured into a multilayer reflector. The iridescence is combined with a yellow or orange-brown colouration, causing the common name of the subfamily, the yellows or sulfurs. In the subfamily Pierinae, iridescent wing tips are encountered in the males of most species of the Colotis-group and some species of the tribe Anthocharidini. The wing tips contain pigments absorbing short-wavelength light, resulting in yellow, orange or red colours. Iridescent wings are not found among the Pierini. The different wing colours can be understood from combinations of wavelength-dependent scattering, absorption and iridescence, which are characteristic for the species and sex. Introduction often complex and as yet poorly understood optical phenomena The colour of a butterfly wing depends on the interaction of encountered in lycaenids and papilionids. The Pieridae have light with the material of the wing and its spatial structure. But- two main subfamilies: Coliadinae and Pierinae. Within Pierinae, terfly wings consist of a wing substrate, upon which stacks of the tribes Pierini and Anthocharidini are distinguished, together light-scattering scales are arranged.

  • The Negros Ark: a Hypothesis the Systematics and Biogeography of Rhopalocera (Lepidoptera) in the Philippines
    REVIEW PAPER | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology The Negros Ark: A Hypothesis The systematics and biogeography of Rhopalocera (Lepidoptera) in the Philippines Jade Aster T. Badon* ABSTRACT Current distributional data on Philippine butterflies suggests that colonization and exchange of species between Luzon and Mindanao are hypothesized to have occurred during the Miocene Epoch (23-5.3 million years ago). Species from the families Pieridae, Hesperiidae, and Zygaenidae were set as an example to explain some disjunction of distribution of some species in the archipelago. The hypothesis will definitely become an interest in the field of biogeographical and phylogenetic studies in the country.

The female of Delias aestiva smithersi Daniels, 2012 comb. nov. from northern Australia is illustrated and described for the first time. The subspecies is diagnosed and its taxonomic status clarified. Several unique character states concerning wing colour pattern elements of D. aestiva smithersi, together with evidence of the male genitalia, support the hypothesis that the subspecies belongs to D. aestiva Butler, 1897 and not to D.

  • The Butterflies of El Questro Wilderness Park, with Remarks On
    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 27 161–175 (2012) The butterfl ies of El Questro Wilderness Park, with remarks on the taxonomy of the Kimberley fauna, Australia Michael F. Braby Biodiversity Conservation, Department of Land Resource Management, PO Box 496, Palmerston, Northern Territory 0831, Australia; and Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 0200, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – El Questro Wilderness Park comprises a relatively large privately owned wilderness area in the monsoon tropics of the eastern Kimberley, north-western Australia. Targeted surveys for butterfl ies were conducted between 2009 and 2012 during the dry season. Fifty-three species were recorded; a further two species are recorded in the literature, bringing the total list of butterfl ies for El Questro Wilderness Park to 55 species (or 68% of the Kimberley fauna). Comments are made on their occurrence, relative abundance, habitat preference and larval food plant associations. Several species represent new records for the eastern Kimberley, most of which comprise signifi cant range extensions from previously known coastal localities in the northern and/or western Kimberley. Taxonomic remarks are made for fi ve species listed for the wider Kimberley region for which there is considerable uncertainty. One of these, Telicota ancilla baudina Evans, 1949, is shown to comprise a junior synonym of Telicota augias krefftii (W.J. Macleay, 1866); the others comprise taxonomic misidentifi cations (Pelopidas agna, Theclinesthes serpentatus) or there is doubt regarding their authenticity (Delias mysis, Danaus plexippus). The exclusion of these taxa brings the revised total number of species of butterfl ies recorded for the Kimberley to 81, of which only one is endemic to the region.
