RESUMEN La riqueza biológica de Mesoamérica es enorme. Dentro de esta gran área geográfi ca se encuentran algunos de los ecosistemas más diversos del planeta (selvas tropicales), así como varios de los principales centros de endemismo en el mundo (bosques nublados). Países como Guatemala, en esta gran área biogeográfi ca, tiene grandes zonas de bosque húmedo tropical y bosque mesófi lo, por esta razón es muy importante para analizar la diversidad en la región. Lamentablemente, la fauna de mariposas de Guatemala es poco conocida y por lo tanto, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio y análisis de la composición y la diversidad de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en Guatemala.

    Spicebush, Lindera Benzoin, a Little Known Foodplant of Papilio Glaucus

    10 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY SPICEBUSH, LlNDERA BENZOIN, A LITTLE KNOWN FOODPLANT OF PAPILlO GLAUCUS (PAPILIONIDAE) J. MARK SCRIBER, ROBERT C. LEDERHOUSE, AND LORRAINE CONTARDO Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14850 Papilio glaucus L., the eastern tiger swallowtail, is one of the most polyphagous of all Papilionidae, yet documented records of it utilizing lauraceous foodplants are rare. Teitz (1954, 1972) is the only author who reports Lindera benzoin (L.), but we have been unable to locate any such original record from the references he listed. Sassafras albidum ( Nutt.) also is recorded by Edwards (1884), French (1885), Scudder (1889) and Teitz (1954, 1972). These authors have apparently cited either Stauffer (1862) or personal communication of John Akhurst. The larval description (" .... the larva of turnus (which was taken from Sassafras) was pea-green above with a yellow edging, beneath purplish­ brown.") suggests that Stauffer's record is based on a mistaken P. troilus larva. Akhurst records a P. glaucus female ovipositing on Sassafras branches while confined in a box. Five freshly hatched first instal' Papilio glaucus larvae were discovered on leaves of spicebush, Lindera benzoin of the Lauraceae, on Snyder Hill near Thomas Road, Town of Caroline, Tompkins County, New York. This same stand of spicebush yielded P. troilus L. larvae the previous year, although none were found there in 1973. In addition to the P. glaucus larvae found on June 25, 1973, another fertile egg was dis­ covered on July 11. For comparisons with growth rates on other food­ plants (Scriber, in prep.), field growth rates of larvae were observed on spicebush until they reached the late stages of the final instal'.

This long hot summer seems to go on and on. While we all enjoy the warmth and sunshine, our gardens are suffering. The butterflies seem to enjoy the weather though, and there are plenty to be seen if you are out walking on the Common - in particular the lovely orange and black Silver- washed fritillaries which can be found along the rides and woodland edges. There are some familiar butterflies to colour for our Young Buddies. The ponies are seeking out shade during the heat of the day, but flies and ticks are making their presence felt. If you are an outdoors person, then the National Plant Monitoring Survey offers a chance be of help in conservation efforts. For the Green Fingered among you we offer some exotic cacti, and for the cooks the Seasonal Treat is a deliciously different lemon drizzle cake.

Published September 1995 The NRA and the Environment Agency The National Rivers Authority will form the major part of a new organisation which will have responsibilities for the environmental protection of water, land and air. The new Environment Agency starts its work of managing the environment in England and Wales on April 1 1996. SUt~ ^ r C S FOREWORD------- This Catchment Management Plan Consultation Report covers the River Tone and all its tributaries. These drain to it from Exmoor and the Quantock Hills in the west and north and from the Blackdown Hills in the south and east. The report also includes the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. This report describes the physical features and factors such as geology and climate for the catchment. In particular, we set out the NRA’s vision for the catchment. We describe: • the activities in the catchment which affect the water environment and the uses made of water; • the NRA’s objectives and targets for the water environment, described under four headings - water quality, water quantity, physical features and flood defence; • the state of the catchment in relation to the four categories of objectives. From this comparison we identify issues which need to be addressed by the NRA and others.

    Sentinels on the Wing: the Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada

    Sentinels on the Wing The Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada Peter W. Hall Foreword In Canada, our ties to the land are strong and deep. Whether we have viewed the coasts of British Columbia or Cape Breton, experienced the beauty of the Arctic tundra, paddled on rivers through our sweeping boreal forests, heard the wind in the prairies, watched caribou swim the rivers of northern Labrador, or searched for song birds in the hardwood forests of south eastern Canada, we all call Canada our home and native land. Perhaps because Canada’s landscapes are extensive and cover a broad range of diverse natural systems, it is easy for us to assume the health of our important natural spaces and the species they contain. Our country seems so vast compared to the number of Canadians that it is difficult for us to imagine humans could have any lasting effect on nature. Yet emerging science demonstrates that our natural systems and the species they contain are increas- ingly at risk. While the story is by no means complete, key indicator species demonstrate that Canada’s natural legacy is under pressure from a number of sources, such as the conversion of lands for human uses, the release of toxic chemicals, the introduction of new, invasive species or the further spread of natural pests, and a rapidly changing climate. These changes are hitting home and, with the globalization and expansion of human activities, it is clear the pace of change is accelerating. While their flights of fancy may seem insignificant, butterflies are sentinels or early indicators of this change, and can act as important messengers to raise awareness.

The Papilionidae (Lepidoptera): co- evolution with the Angiosperms. — Phyton (Austria) 23 (1): 117—126, 2 fi- gures. — English with German summary. The Papilionidae appears to have co-evolved with two lines of Angiosperms, the one rooted in the Magnoliales or rather their ancestors, the other in the Rosales-Myrtales or their ancestors. The Papilionini (Graphiini) is especially interesting in being adapted to a lineage including the Magnoliales, Rutales, Umbellales and Asterales, whose existence is clear on phytochemical and morpho- logical grounds. It is stressed that morphological differentiation does not go necessarily hand in hand with adaptive co-evolution: whereas the whole of the Troidini remained adapted to the Aristolochiaceae, the single genus Papilio (Papilionini) "learned" to feed on a succession of related families culminating in the Gompositae, and still remained unchanged at even the genus level.
