Molecular and morphological study The author also uses such non-taxonomic concept as a of the subfamily Polyommatinae allows to make the section (Section sensu Eliot). following conclusions: the tribe Candalidini and the genus The leading role in the study of taxonomy and Cupidopsis should be excluded from the subfamily. The systematics of organisms is currently allocated to molecular status of the tribe Niphandini should be reduced to a genetic research. This rule undoubtedly applies to Blue subtribe level. Thus, subfamily Polyommatinae consists of butterflies, and the publication of many articles in the last two tribes: Lycaenesthini and Polyommatini.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species belonging to the recently revised Neurellipes mahota-group has been found in the Cross River Loop, East- ern Nigeria. It resembles the recently described Liberian N. georgiadisi Larsen, 2009, but differs from it by the wing shape and the extent and shape of orange patches on the hindwing, also on the forewing, especially in the discoidal cell. The species is described as N. rhoko sp. n.; a detailed comparison with the other species in the N. mahota-group is given, as well as notes on the biogeography of N. rhoko and its Liberian sub-region vicariant N. georgiadisi.

Larvae of 17 Lycaenidae butterfly species from Europe, North America, South East Asia and Australia were observed to retain at least some of their adaptations related to myrmecophily even after parasitic braconid larvae have emerged from them. The myrme- cophilous glandular organs and vibratory muscles of such larval carcasses remain functional for up to 8 days. The cuticle of lycaenid larvae contains extractable “adoption substances” which elicit anten- nal drumming in their tending ants. These adoption substances, as well, appear to persist in a functional state beyond parasitoid emer- gence, and the larval carcasses are hence tended much like healthy caterpillars. In all examples, the braconids may receive selective advantages through myrmecophily of their host larvae, instead of being suppressed by the ant guard. Interactions where parasitoids exploit the ant-mutualism of their lycaenid hosts have as yet been recorded only from the Apanteles group in the Braconidae- Microgasterinae. KEY WORDS: Lycaenidae, Formicidae, myrmecophily, adoption sub- stances, parasitoids, Braconidae, Apanteles, defensive mechanisms INTRODUCTION Parasitoid wasps or flies are major enemies of the early stages of most Lepidoptera (Shaw 1990, Weseloh 1993).

ABSTRACT The butterflies Byblia ilithyia (Nymphalidae), Pieris canidia (Pieridae) and Azanus jesous (Lycaenidae) and the day-flying moth, Nyctemera adversata (Erebidae) are oligophagous. Previously, only B. ilithyia has been reported to be occurring in this region while the other three species are being reported for the first time from this region. The larval host plants include Jatropha gossypiifolia and Tragia involucrata for B. ilithyia, Brassica oleracea var. oleracea and B. oleracea var. botrytis for P. canidia, and Acacia auriculiformis for Azanus jesous. The nectar plants include Tragia involucrata, Euphorbia hirta and Jatropha gossypiifolia for B. ilithyia, Premna latifolia and Cleome viscosa for P. canidia, Lagascea mollis, Tridax procumbens and Digera muricata for A. jesous and Bidens pilosa for 275 N. adversata. The study recommends extensive field investigations to find out more larval plants and nectar plants for each Page lepidopteran species now reported.

Former studies have shown that there is an interspecific allometric relationship between egg size and adult body size in butterflies and skippers. This is here re-assessed at the family and subfamily levels in order to determine to what extent the overall trend is uniform through different taxonomic lineages. The results suggest that different subtaxa are characterised by different allometric slopes. Al- though statistical analysis across species means is known to be potentially misleading to assess evolu- tionary relations, it is shown that the comparison of apparent patterns (based on species means) with inferred evolutionary trends (based on independent contrasts) may help to understand the evolution of egg size in butterflies. Further, intuitive reconsideration of statistically non-significant results may prove informative. As an example, argumentation in favour of a positive association between large egg size and the use of monocotyledon plants as larval food is presented. Taxa where atypical allometric trends are found include the Riodininae and Theclini (Lycaenidae), the Graphiini (Papilionidae), and the Heliconiinae (Nymphalidae).

First, a phylogeographical approach was used to understand the lineage diversity and phylogeographic pattern as well as demographic history of the butterfly. Second, a landmark-based geometric morphometric approach was used to examine morphological variations within and among the genetic lineages inferred by genetic data. In the phylogeographic study, sequences of three mitochondrial genes (COI, Cyt b and ND5) and two nuclear genes (Rpl5 and Ldh) were used. Phylogenetic trees and the median- joining network revealed six evolutionary mitochondrial haplotype clades corresponding to geographic distribution of the species, including two clades from central Honshu, one clade from western Honshu and Shikoku, two clades from Kyushu and one clade from Tsushima Island.

  • THE BUTTERFLIES of the YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC, by Torben B
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 38(2), 1984, 147 BOOK REVIEWS THE LIFE HISTORIES OF BUTTERFLIES OF JAPAN. VOLUME I. PAPILIONIDAE, PIERIDAE, DANAIDAE, by Hamo Fukuda, Eiichi Hama, Takeshi Kuzuya, Akira Takahashi, Mayumi Takahashi, Ban Tanaka, Hiroshi Tanaka, Mario Wakabayashi and Yasuyuki Watanabe. xxii + 277 pp., 64 col. pis., 1982. Hoikusha Publishing Co., Ltd., 17-3, l-chome, Uemachi, Higashi-Ku, Osaka, 540, Japan. (Price not stated in review copy.) This book treats the up-to-date knowledge of the early stages, adult behavior and distribution of all resident and vagrant species of the families mentioned. The area covered ranges from Hokkaido southwest to Iriomote-Jima. Thus, the entire chain, rang­ ing from Arctic-Alpine to Subtropical conditions, is included. The main text is in Japanese and appears to be authoritative as extensive references are cited and topics such as changes in distribution and mortality curves are included. For the majority of our membership there are 12 pages of capsule species accounts with cross reference to the color plates and 16 pages and distribution maps. As we have come to expect from Japanese books, the color plates are of high quality with the colors appearing sharp and true. For each species the adults as found in nature, egg, larva, and pupa are portrayed. Often the habitat or host plant is also included. The adults are often shown in natural behavioral activities such as mating, oviposition, taking moisture or nectaring. The pictures are excellent but occasionally not clear. For those interested in the many parallels in the life history traits between our species and those of Japan, this book is a must.

There is urgent need to explore the causes of these declines, and the implications for ecosystems and ecosystem services.
