Abstract — Three new genera, Anaplusia gen. n., Extremoplusia gen. n. and Scriptoplusia gen. n. and one new species, Scriptoplusia noona sp. n. are described and an annotated list of 50 species from N America, Africa and the Oriental Region is given. With 26 figures and 1 photoplate. In 1986Ihadtthe opportunity to study the Palaeotropical, Nearctic and Indo-Australian Plusiinae material of the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen. During the course of this work I could study in details some species which had not been relagated to any described genera. These studies, based on the external and genitalic morphology including the characteristics of the vesica, have shown the necessity to erect three new genera for these taxa. — The whole material contains specimens of 50 species, one of them is new for science and there are several previously unknown distribution records of the species. I would like to express my thanks to Dr. Ole Karsholt (Zool. Mus., Copenhagen) for his exten­ sive help in this work and also to Dr. L. Gozmány (Budapest) for his useful advice. 1. DESCRIPriON OF THE NEW TAXA It is an interesting fact that there are some species, distributed over the Eastern-South­ eastern border of the Palaearctic Region to Indonesia, Australia and New Guinea, which appear to be remote from any well-known genera of the Eastern Tropical Plusiinae.

    Conspicuousness, Phylogenetic Structure, and Origins of Müllerian

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conspicuousness, phylogenetic structure, and origins of Müllerian mimicry in 4000 lycid beetles from all zoogeographic regions Michal Motyka1, Dominik Kusy1, Michal Masek1, Matej Bocek1, Yun Li1, R. Bilkova1, Josef Kapitán2, Takashi Yagi3 & Ladislav Bocak1* Biologists have reported on the chemical defences and the phenetic similarity of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) and their co-mimics. Nevertheless, our knowledge has remained fragmental, and the evolution of mimetic patterns has not been studied in the phylogenetic context. We illustrate the general appearance of ~ 600 lycid species and ~ 200 co-mimics and their distribution. Further, we assemble the phylogeny using the transcriptomic backbone and ~ 570 species. Using phylogenetic information, we closely scrutinise the relationships among aposematically coloured species, the worldwide diversity, and the distribution of aposematic patterns. The emitted visual signals difer in conspicuousness. The uniform coloured dorsum is ancestral and was followed by the evolution of bicoloured forms. The mottled patterns, i.e. fasciate, striate, punctate, and reticulate, originated later in the course of evolution. The highest number of sympatrically occurring patterns was recovered in New Guinea and the Andean mountain ecosystems (the areas of the highest abundance), and in continental South East Asia (an area of moderate abundance but high in phylogenetic diversity). Consequently, a large number of co-existing aposematic patterns in a single region and/or locality is the rule, in contrast with the theoretical prediction, and predators do not face a simple model-like choice but cope with complex mimetic communities. Lycids display an ancestral aposematic signal even though they sympatrically occur with diferently coloured unproftable relatives.

A reminder that this year’s LepSoc Africa Conference will be held in Knysna on Sat 16 and Sun 17 November. Please contact Dave Edge ([email protected]) to confirm your attendance. For those of you looking for accommodation in Knysna, Dave forwarded the flowing link: Places to stay in Knysna We have found, at recent LepSoc Africa Conferences, that presentation of the annual reports of various LSA officers takes up most, if not all, of the three-hours that have traditionally been allocated to the Annual General Meeting. At last year’s conference in Hermannsburg, there was dissatisfaction about the time available for general discussion among members present at the meeting. This year, we are going to do it differently! Using the approach that has been adopted by the Entomological Society of Southern Africa (Entsocsa), the reports of office bearers will be circulated to the entire LepSoc Africa membership at least two weeks before the AGM. At the AGM, a condensed summary of the various reports will be presented for ratification, following which there will be a brief discussion. Significant issues, that require resolution at the AGM, should be raised by LSA members prior to the meeting and the salient points submitted for discussion under Matters Arising. Missing Links… A few people pointed out that a couple of the links in July’s newsletter didn’t work. I’ve corrected this below: Colotis ungemachi Arnold Schultze Steve Collins noted that, in July’s newsletter, I’d correctly captioned a photo from Sudheer Kommana as Baliochila hildegarda, but that this species is not found in Ghana as I’d indicated.

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
