  • Species Account CALLIPPE SILVERSPOT BUTTERFLY Speyeria Callippe Callippe
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish & Wildlife Office Species Account CALLIPPE SILVERSPOT BUTTERFLY Speyeria callippe callippe CLASSIFICATION: Endangered Federal Register 62:64306 ; December 5, 1997 http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/federal_register/fr3183.pdf CRITICAL HABITAT : None designated RECOVERY PLAN: Draft Recovery Plan For The Callippe Silverspot Butterfly (Under development) FIVE-YEAR REVIEW October 20, 2009. We recommended no change in status. http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/five_year_review/doc2518.pdf (Latest info on this species.) DESCRIPTION The callippe (ca-LIP-ee) silverspot is a medium-sized butterfly in the brush foot family (Nymphalidae). It has a wingspan of about 5.5 centimeters (2.2 inches). The upper wings are brown with extensive black spots and lines, and the basal areas are extremely dark. The undersides are brown, orange-brown and tan with black lines and distinctive black and bright silver spots. The basal areas of the wings and body are densely hairy. The caterpillars are dark- colored with many branching sharp spines on their backs. Identification of the subspecies is challenging in some parts of its range because it can hybridize with Lilian’s and Comstock’s silverspot butterflies, producing offspring that are intermediate in appearance. Life History and Ecology The callippe silverspot butterfly has one flight of adults per year. It undergoes complete metamorphosis (a structural transformation during the development of an organism) from egg to larval, pupal and adult stages. Egg Stage During the early summer flight season, females lay their eggs on the dry remains of the larval food plant, Johnny jump-up ( Viola pedunculata ), or on the surrounding debris.

  • Cover Letter for PG&E Midterm Pruning Report
    Effect of different grazing regimes on Viola pedunculata populations at King Ranch - 2010 December 16, 2010 Prepared by: Elizabeth Bernhardt Tedmund Swiecki Prepared for: Sue Wickham Solano Land Trust 1001 Texas Street, Ste C Fairfield, CA 94533 P HYTOSPHERE R ESEARCH 1027 Davis Street, Vacaville, CA 95687-5495 707-452-8735 email: [email protected] URL: http://phytosphere.com 2010 - King Ranch V. pedunculata grazing study Page 2 of 16 SUMMARY This report discusses second year results of a study that investigates how specific changes to the grazing regime at King Ranch affects cover of Viola pedunculata, the larval food plant of the Callippe silverspot butterfly. In 2007, we established plots in six clusters of three plots each at widely spaced locations on the ranch, with three clusters on each of two common soil types. Cover in these plots was read in spring 2007 and 2008 to serve as a baseline. One plot in each cluster was excluded from grazing early in the grazing season in 2009 and 2010. A second plot in each cluster was excluded from grazing late in the season in 2009 and 2010. The plots excluded from grazing did not differ in V. pedunculata cover or grass cover compared to plots which had not been excluded from grazing. Although grass cover and vegetation height were negatively correlated with V. pedunculata cover, excluding plots from grazing for short periods did not result in V. pedunculata cover differences. Vegetation height and cover were correlated with precipitation during the growing season. Due to the interactions that exist between grazing impacts and weather, we recommend that the study be continued for at least two to three more years, so that treatment effects can be assessed over a wider range of weather conditions.

  • 2010 Animal Species of Concern
    MONTANA NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM Animal Species of Concern Species List Last Updated 08/05/2010 219 Species of Concern 86 Potential Species of Concern All Records (no filtering) A program of the University of Montana and Natural Resource Information Systems, Montana State Library Introduction The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) serves as the state's information source for animals, plants, and plant communities with a focus on species and communities that are rare, threatened, and/or have declining trends and as a result are at risk or potentially at risk of extirpation in Montana. This report on Montana Animal Species of Concern is produced jointly by the Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) and Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP). Montana Animal Species of Concern are native Montana animals that are considered to be "at risk" due to declining population trends, threats to their habitats, and/or restricted distribution. Also included in this report are Potential Animal Species of Concern -- animals for which current, often limited, information suggests potential vulnerability or for which additional data are needed before an accurate status assessment can be made. Over the last 200 years, 5 species with historic breeding ranges in Montana have been extirpated from the state; Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus), Greater Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus cupido), Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), Pilose Crayfish (Pacifastacus gambelii), and Rocky Mountain Locust (Melanoplus spretus). Designation as a Montana Animal Species of Concern or Potential Animal Species of Concern is not a statutory or regulatory classification. Instead, these designations provide a basis for resource managers and decision-makers to make proactive decisions regarding species conservation and data collection priorities in order to avoid additional extirpations.

  • A Survey of the Grasslands of The
    A Survey of the Grasslands of the Northeast Ridge (Guadalupe Hills) as Habitat for the Mission Blue Butterfly (Icaricia icarioides missionensis) and the Callippe Silverspot (Speyeria callippe callippe) For San Bruno Mountain Watch 44 Visitacion Avenue Brisbane, California 94005 May 14, 2007 By Thomas Y. Wang Biologist San Francisco, California Introduction The Mission Blue butterfly Icaricia icarioides missionensis and Callippe Silverspot Speyeria callippe callippe are two endangered butterfly species that live on San Bruno Mountain. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Mission Blue in 1976 (New 1993), and the Calllippe Silverspot was listed in 1997 (USFWS 2007). Both have a restricted range due mainly to urbanization and their particular ecology. The Mission Blue butterfly lays eggs only on several species of lupines, and has an association with specific ant species for a part of its lifecycle (Cushman and Murphy 1993). The Callippe Silverspot also has a restricted host plant – Viola pedunculata. It oviposits in the vicinity of Viola pedunculata (Thomas Reed Associates 1982) or on them (Arnold 1981). The host plants for both butterflies are plants of the grasslands – a scarce plant community of the Franciscan peninsula due to urbanization. The Habitat Conservation Plan of 1983 allowed for take of Mission Blue lands in exchange for land preserved elsewhere and restoration of butterfly habitat. Parts of the Northeast Ridge became the San Bruno Mountain County and State Park. Other parts of it were slated for development and miscellaneous open space. As part of the Habitat Conservation Plan, mark-release-recapture studies were performed on the Callippe Silverspot and the Mission Blue.

    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.

  • Preliminary Insect (Butterfly) Survey at Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California
    Kathy Keane October 30, 2003 Keane Biological Consulting 5546 Parkcrest Street Long Beach, CA 90808 Subject: Preliminary Insect (Butterfly) Survey at Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California. Dear Kathy: Introduction At the request of Keane Biological Consulting (KBC), Guy P. Bruyea (GPB) conducted a reconnaissance-level survey for the butterfly and insect inhabitants of Griffith Park in northwestern Los Angeles County, California. This report presents findings of our survey conducted to assess butterfly and other insect diversity within Griffith Park, and briefly describes the vegetation, topography, and present land use throughout the survey area in an effort to assess the overall quality of the habitat currently present. Additionally, this report describes the butterfly species observed or detected, and identifies butterfly species with potential for occurrence that were not detected during the present survey. All observations were made by GPB during two visits to Griffith Park in June and July 2003. Site Description Griffith Park is generally located at the east end of the Santa Monica Mountains northwest of the City of Los Angeles within Los Angeles County, California. The ± 4100-acre Griffith Park is situated within extensive commercial and residential developments associated with the City of Los Angeles and surrounding areas, and is the largest municipal park and urban wilderness area within the United States. Specifically, Griffith Park is bounded as follows: to the east by the Golden State Freeway (Interstate Highway 5) and the

Kondla, Box 244, Genelle, British Columbia VOG IGO, Canada Stephen M. Spomer, Department of Entomology, University of Nebraska, P. 0. Box 830816, Lincoln, Nebraska 68504, U.S.A. Abstract. S. hesperis and S. at/antis are distinct species; past reports of"intergradation" between them actually represent polymorphism of silvering within S. hesperis. S. at/antis is always silvered, and has a darker ( chocolate~brown to blackish-brown) unh disc; it occurs in eastern North America as S. a. at/antis, then ranges as S. a. hollandi over the boreal forest/aspen parklands from Man. to Alta., where it is widely sympatric with S. hesperis helena; S. a. hollandi also occurs in the Rocky Mts. in Alta.-B.C.-NE Wash.-N Ida., where it is sympatric with S. hesperis beani and S. hesperis brico (B.C., new subspecies). In the Black Hills, S. at/antis pahasapa (new subspecies) is sympatric with S. hesperis lurana. In S Wyo.-Colo.-N New Mex., S. at/antis sorocko (new subspecies) is sympatric with mostly-unsilvered S. h. hesperis and mostly-silvered S. h. electa (=cornelia=nikias). S. hesperis has a redder unh disc, and ranges from Manitoba and the Black Hills westward to Alaska and the Pacific and south to New Mex.-Calif.; a majority (11 of 19) of its subspecies are usually-silvered, but only the subspecies in the extreme N and NE and S parts of its range are always silvered, and all subspecies across the middle of its range are predominantly unsilvered; silvered/unsilvered intergradation occurs within S.
