A New Subspecies of Nacaduba Cyanea Cramer, 1775, from Buru, Maluku, Indonesia (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) W Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 159 (2016) 81–88 A new subspecies of Nacaduba cyanea Cramer, 1775, from Buru, Maluku, Indonesia (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae) W. John Tennent & M. Eulàlia Gassó Miracle “Across the world, natural-history collections hold thousands of species awaiting identification. In fact, researchers today find many more novel animals and plants by sifting through decades-old specimens than they do by surveying tropical forests and remote landscapes. An estimated three- quarters of newly named mammal species are already part of a natural-history collection at the time they are identified. They sometimes sit unrecognised for a century or longer, hidden in drawers, half-forgotten in jars, misidentified, unlabelled.” Museums: The endangered dead (C. Kemp, Nature 518 (7539): 292–294, London, 19th February 2015) A new subspecies of Nacaduba cyanea (Cramer, 1775), N. c. sanane ssp. n., from the Indonesian island of Buru is described and illustrated. It is compared with nominotypical cyanea (TL: “West-Indiën” [= West Indies]; recte: “Oost-Indiën” [= East Indies]) and N. c. obiana (Fruhstorfer, 1915) (TL: Obi). All eight currently recognised Moluccan subspecies of N. cyanea, including N. c. sanane ssp. n., are illustrated and a map depicting their distribution in the Moluccas is presented.

It sits between the Indonesian islands of Alor and Wetar. Atauro is about 25 km long and 9 km wide and is inhabited by about 10,000 people. Mt. Manucoco is the highest point at 999m above sea level. Atauro became part of Portuguese Timor as a result of the 1859 treaty of Lisbon. Over the years the island has been used as a prison island by the Portuguese and the Indonesians. The name Atauro means ‘goat’ in the local language. It was so named because of the large number of goats on the island.

  • Life History Notes on the White-Banded Line-Blue, Nacaduba Kurava (Moore, 1858) Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae – Todd Burrows
    Life history notes on the White-banded Line-blue, Nacaduba kurava (Moore, 1858) Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae – Todd Burrows My first experience with Nacaduba kurava came at Tweed Heads NSW (28/1/10) when I noticed a female laying eggs on the new growth of the River Mangrove (Aegiceras corniculatum). She flew before I could take a photo but on closer inspection I found a small larva feeding on the upper surface of the leaf. Within a few days (31/1/10) I observed this species on South Stradbroke Island QLD. I found a male within the vicinity of Tuckeroo (Cupaniopsis anacardiodes) a recorded host for this species (Braby, 2005) but was unable to locate any larvae. While near the western shoreline of SSI a few weeks later on (20/2/10) during the early afternoon, I noticed a small number of females fluttering about and landing on River Mangrove. I managed to get some nice photos of a female laying eggs on leaf buds. Some time later (10/3/10) I visited the same plants to have a search for larvae and was pleased to find two of them close to maturity and being attended by large black ants (I always find this most interesting). The larvae were feeding on the new growth and the pictured individual was chewing on the stalk of a fresh leaf. I collected one of the larvae in the hope of photographing the pupa but it had a mysterious escape before it pupated. I returned again to the same mangroves (12/3/10) to try and find another larva but instead found a pupa attached to the upper Early instar larva surface of a mangrove leaf.

  • Influence of Conflict on Migration at Moluccas Province
    INFLUENCE OF CONFLICT ON MIGRATION AT MOLUCCAS PROVINCE Maryam Sangadji Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Pattimura Ambon Abstraksi Konflik antara komunitas islam dan Kristen di propinsi Maluku menyebabkan lebih dari sepertiga populasi penduduknya atau 2,1 juta orang menjadi IDP (pengungsi) serta mengalami kemiskinan dan penderitaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti proses, dampak dan masalah yang dihadapi para IDP. Hasil analisis kualitatif deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa proses migrasi IDP ditentukan oleh tingkat intensitas konflik dan lebih marginal pada lokasi IDP. Disamping itu terlampau banyak masalah yang timbul dalam mengatasi IDP baik internal maupun eksternal. Kata kunci: konflik komunitas, Maluku. The phenomena of population move as the result of conflict among communities is a problem faced by development, due to population mobility caused by conflict occurs in a huge quantity where this population is categorized as IDP with protection and safety as the reason. The condition is different if migration is performed with economic motive, this means that they have calculate cost and benefit from the purposes of making migration. Since 1970s, there are many population mobility that are performed with impelled manner (Petterson, W, 1996), the example is Africa where due to politic, economic and social condition the individual in the continent have no opportunity to calculate the benefit. While in Indonesia the reform IDP is very high due to conflict between community as the symbol of religion and ethnic. This, of course, contrast with the symbol of Indonesian, namely “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”, different but one soul, this condition can be seen from 683 multiethnic and there are 5 religions in Indonesia. In fact, if the differences are not managed, the conflict will appear, and this condition will end on open conflict.

  • Moluccas 15 July to 14 August 2013 Henk Hendriks
    Moluccas 15 July to 14 August 2013 Henk Hendriks INTRODUCTION It was my 7th trip to Indonesia. This time I decided to bird the remote eastern half of this country from 15 July to 14 August 2013. Actually it is not really a trip to the Moluccas only as Tanimbar is part of the Lesser Sunda subregion, while Ambon, Buru, Seram, Kai and Boano are part of the southern group of the Moluccan subregion. The itinerary I made would give us ample time to find most of the endemics/specialties of the islands of Ambon, Buru, Seram, Tanimbar, Kai islands and as an extension Boano. The first 3 weeks I was accompanied by my brother Frans, Jan Hein van Steenis and Wiel Poelmans. During these 3 weeks we birded Ambon, Buru, Seram and Tanimbar. We decided to use the services of Ceisar to organise these 3 weeks for us. Ceisar is living on Ambon and is the ground agent of several bird tour companies. After some negotiations we settled on the price and for this Ceisar and his staff organised the whole trip. This included all transportation (Car, ferry and flights), accommodation, food and assistance during the trip. On Seram and Ambon we were also accompanied by Vinno. You have to understand that both Ceisar and Vinno are not really bird guides. They know the sites and from there on you have to find the species yourselves. After these 3 weeks, Wiel Poelmans and I continued for another 9 days, independently, to the Kai islands, Ambon again and we made the trip to Boano.

  • Cave Use Variability in Central Maluku, Eastern Indonesia
    Cave Use Variability in Central Maluku, Eastern Indonesia D. KYLE LATINIS AND KEN STARK IT IS NOW INCREASINGLY CLEAR that humans systematically colonized both Wallacea and Sahul and neighboring islands from at least 40,000-50,000 years ago, their migrations probably entailing reconnoitered and planned movements and perhaps even prior resource stocking of flora and fauna that were unknown to the destinations prior to human translocation (Latinis 1999, 2000). Interest­ ingly, much of the supporting evidence derives from palaeobotanical remains found in caves. The number of late Pleistocene and Holocene sites that have been discovered in the greater region including Wallacea and Greater Near Ocea­ nia, most ofwhich are cave sites, has grown with increased research efforts partic­ ularly in the last few decades (Green 1991; Terrell pers. comm.). By the late Pleis­ tocene and early Holocene, human populations had already adapted to a number ofvery different ecosystems (Smith and Sharp 1993). The first key question considered in this chapter is, how did the human use of caves differ in these different ecosystems? We limit our discussion to the geo­ graphic region of central Maluku in eastern Indonesia (Fig. 1). Central Maluku is a mountainous group of moderately large and small equatorial islands dominated by limestone bedrock; there are also some smaller volcanic islands. The region is further characterized by predominantly wet, lush, tropical, and monsoon forests. Northeast Bum demonstrates some unique geology (Dickinson 2004) that is re­ sponsible for the distinctive clays and additives used in pottery production (dis­ cussed later in this paper). It is hoped that the modest contribution presented here will aid others working on addressing this question in larger and different geographic regions.

(2005). The Abstract The design of national economic development should never ignore three important aspects, namely integration, and sustainably and local contexts. Insufficient comprehension over these three aspects has caused delays of economic Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) progress in several regions like Maluku. This region is characterized with archipelagic geo-profile where marine and approach for integrated catchment-coastal zone fisheries resources are abundant but economic progress is sluggish.

(Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Coeliadinae) from Lanyu, Taiwan, with observations of its unusual immature biology. Zoological Studies 47(2): 222-231. A fairly large skipper, Hasora mixta, was discovered on Lanyu (Orchid I.), off the southeastern coast of Taiwan. Samples of this species from Lanyu were compared with those from other regions, revealing that the wing pattern and male genitalia consistently differ from those of other subspecies, and this is herein described as H. mixta limata, ssp. nov. This skipper is crepuscular or on the wing under cloudy conditions. An investigation of the immature biology of H. mixta limata revealed that it demonstrates an oviposition behavior unusual in skippers, in that it conceals its ova between leaflets of its larval host with spumaline. The papillae anales of the female genitalia are modified so that they can insert ova into tightly attached leaflets of young buds. The specific larval host of H. mixta limata is a legume that requires taxonomic clarification. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/47.2/222.pdf Key words: New subspecies, Immature biology, Ovum concealment, Philippines.
