In this natural reserve, butterflies are very common and they are an important insect group as flower visitors. The butterfly species in this guide were collected from six vegetation types distributed in this tropical coastal ecosystem. The aim of this guide is to provide knowledge about the diversity of butterflies to local people, for educational proposes and ecotourism. The images in this field guide include the dorsal and ventral position of each butterfly species with 1-cm scale.

A MARANTE Abstract A synonymyc catalogue for the species of Neotropical Crabronidae and Sphecidae is presented, including all synonyms, geographical distribution and pertinent references. The catalogue includes 152 genera and 1834 species (1640 spp. in Crabronidae, 194 spp. in Sphecidae), plus 190 species recorded from Nearctic Mexico (168 spp. in Crabronidae, 22 spp. in Sphecidae). The former Sphecidae (sensu Menke, 1997 and auct.) is divided in two families: Crabronidae (Astatinae, Bembicinae, Crabroninae, Pemphredoninae and Philanthinae) and Sphecidae (Ampulicinae and Sphecinae). The following subspecies are elevated to species: Podium aureosericeum Kohl, 1902; Podium bugabense Cameron, 1888. New names are proposed for the following junior homonyms: Cerceris modica new name for Cerceris modesta Smith, 1873, non Smith, 1856; Liris formosus new name for Liris bellus Rohwer, 1911, non Lepeletier, 1845; Liris inca new name for Liris peruanus Brèthes, 1926 non Brèthes, 1924; and Trypoxylon guassu new name for Trypoxylon majus Richards, 1934 non Trypoxylon figulus var. majus Kohl, 1883.

  • Curing with Creepy Crawlies: a Phenomenological Approach to Beetle Pendants Used in Roman Magical and Medicinal Practice
    Parker, A. 2019. Curing with Creepy Crawlies: A Phenomenological Approach to Beetle Pendants Used in Roman Magical and Medicinal Practice. Theoretical Roman Archaeology Journal, 2(1): 1, pp. 1–16. DOI: https://doi.org/10.16995/traj.363 RESEARCH ARTICLE Curing with Creepy Crawlies: A Phenomenological Approach to Beetle Pendants Used in Roman Magical and Medicinal Practice Adam Parker Department of Classical Studies, Open University, UK [email protected] Evidence for some ephemeral, Roman, ritual practices, particularly using organic materials, is lost to us. This paper will introduce a case study which has not been previously considered as a platform to explore the material relationships between invertebrates and their use in magical or medicinal practices. Through a combination of discussing the biology and zoogeography of the stag beetle Lucanus cervus, in combination with a phenomenological approach to the topic that considers the beetles as real, living creatures and situates them within a living and changing environment throughout, this paper raises questions about, and adds colour to, our understanding of the potential uses of stag beetles as pendants for such purposes in the Roman world. Experimental investigations using other beetle species were undertaken as part of this inves- tigation to show that there are significant logistical issues which may have been encountered during the preparation of an insect for the purpose of personal adornment. The novel approach adopted in this paper is multidisciplinary, drawing on strands of biology, archaeoentomology, materiality, and sensory archaeologies, in addition to the experimental reconstructions. Keywords: Phenomenology; Beetle; Coleoptera; Stag Beetle; Lucanus; Experimental; Roman Magic; Materiality; Archaeoentomology Introduction The materia magica and materia medica of the Roman world are, together, a vast corpus of material and literary evidence incorporating pendants, phylacteries, rings, gemstones, tools and instruments, and curse- tablets to name but a few.

Kohl. Mit fünf lithogr. Tafeln (Nr. VIII—XII). I. Abtheilung. Diese hymenopterologische Schrift ist eine Abhandlung über die Sphecinen, einer Gruppe enger verwandter Raubwespengattungen, mit einer monographischen Be- arbeitung der bisher von den Autoren festgehaltenen Gattungen Chlorion, Parasphex, Harpactopus, Priononyx, Isodontia, Sphex und Pseudosphex, welche jedoch, vom Standpunkte der jüngeren wissenschaftlichen Systematik beurtheilt, alle zusammen nur Artengruppen einer einzigen natürlichen Gattung — Sphex s. 1. — sind. Eine Monographie darüber gibt es dermalen nicht, es wäre denn, man wollte die Bearbeitung der Sphecinen von Dahlbom in Hymenoptera europaea I, oder jene von Le pelletier in Hist, natur. Ins. Hym. III, beide vom Jahre 1845, als solche ansehen. Diese sind indessen hinsichtlich der Zahl der beschriebenen Arten, der Beschaffen- heit der Beschreibungen, besonders aber in Betreff der Auffassung des verwandtschaft- lichen Verhältnisses der Formen ganz ungenügend. Die Zahl der Artbeschreibungen hat sich seit dem Erscheinen jener Werke mehr als verdreifacht. Die Arbeiten anderer Autoren über Sphexe behandeln diese Hautflügler blos von einem beschränkten Gebiete oder mehr in faunistischer Weise oder bringen nur Neu- beschreibungen und überragen mit Ausnahme der Abhandlung Taschenberg's »Die Sphegiden des zoologischen Museums der Universität zu Halle« ') und jener Patton's »Some characters useful in the study of the Sphecidae«2) die früher genannten Werke in keinerlei Weise.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e11410. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e11410 Abstract This work represents a study of the diversity of Lepidoptera on the Gehry's Biodiversity Museum (MBG), in an attempt to generate a list of the diversity of butterflies and moths visiting the coastal ecosystem of the Causeway, Amador. Collection of insects was performed manually, over a period of ten months (June 16, 2014 to March 18, 2015) and photographic records of the behavior of other species preying on Lepidoptera were also included. A total of 326 specimens, representing 13 families were collected. These included 6 butterfly and 8 moth families and 52 genera, and 60 species. This study represents a contribution to the knowledge of species that frequent the area, and encourages the conservation and development of the Calzada de Amador as an important touristic site in the city of Panama.
