  • Arizona Wildlife Notebook
    ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork.

  • Book Review, of Systematics of Western North American Butterflies
    (NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) ~19 2008 CORRECTIONS/REVIEWS OF 58 NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLY BOOKS Dr. James A. Scott, 60 Estes Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80226-1254 Abstract. Corrections are given for 58 North American butterfly books. Most of these books are recent. Misidentified figures mostly of adults, erroneous hostplants, and other mistakes are corrected in each book. Suggestions are made to improve future butterfly books. Identifications of figured specimens in Holland's 1931 & 1898 Butterfly Book & 1915 Butterfly Guide are corrected, and their type status clarified, and corrections are made to F. M. Brown's series of papers on Edwards; types (many figured by Holland), because some of Holland's 75 lectotype designations override lectotype specimens that were designated later, and several dozen Holland lectotype designations are added to the J. Pelham Catalogue. Type locality designations are corrected/defined here (some made by Brown, most by others), for numerous names: aenus, artonis, balder, bremnerii, brettoides, brucei (Oeneis), caespitatis, cahmus, callina, carus, colon, colorado, coolinensis, comus, conquista, dacotah, damei, dumeti, edwardsii (Oarisma), elada, epixanthe, eunus, fulvia, furcae, garita, hermodur, kootenai, lagus, mejicanus, mormo, mormonia, nilus, nympha, oreas, oslari, philetas, phylace, pratincola, rhena, saga, scudderi, simius, taxiles, uhleri. Five first reviser actions are made (albihalos=austinorum, davenporti=pratti, latalinea=subaridum, maritima=texana [Cercyonis], ricei=calneva). The name c-argenteum is designated nomen oblitum, faunus a nomen protectum. Three taxa are demonstrated to be invalid nomina nuda (blackmorei, sulfuris, svilhae), and another nomen nudum ( damei) is added to catalogues as a "schizophrenic taxon" in order to preserve stability. Problems caused by old scientific names and the time wasted on them are discussed.

  • SYSTEMATIC REVIEW of the MEGATHYMIDAE H. A. Freeman
    JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERI STS' SOC IETY Volume 23 Supplement I SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE MEGATHYMIDAE H. A. Freeman 1605 Lewis Drive, Garland, Texas I Introduction: Megathymidae 1 I NTRODUCTI ON In 1938, when this study began, the family Mega­ thymidae was perhaps the most poorly known family of Rhopa1ocera. At that time there were 14 names regarded as species (one of which was later to be treated as a synonym and another as a subspecies) and four names re­ garded as subspecies, three of which are now recognized as full species. Today we recognize 49 species and 15 sub­ species in this group of butterflies. The life histories of all species and subspecies have been worked out, with the exception of three which are known only in part. Chromosome counts have been made for many of the species by Dr. Charles Remington and his staff at Yale, and I have studied the chromosomes of additional species. Be­ sides the work that I have done with this family, con­ tributions to our knowledge of this interesting family have been made by Don B. Stallings, Viola Stallings, Dr. J. R. Turner, Ernest R. Tinkham, Charles F. Harbison, Dr. Charles Remington, and Dr. John A. Comstock. In preparing keys for the identification of species and subspecies, reference is made to the spots of the wings and to the wing shape, and these characters are illustrated on plate 1. The ~ numbers are given as 1 to 14, beginning with the cell spot (flg. 1). The wing l)ap e is determined by a ratio of three measurements: base-to-apex of forewing, or primary; 2) apex-to-outer angle (tornus) of primary; and 3) base -to-termination of CUI of hindwing, or secondary.

  • BIOLOGICAL CATALOGUE of NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES by James A
    (NEW Dec. 3, PAPILIO SERIES) 2008 BIOLOGICAL CATALOGUE OF NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES By James A. Scott, Ph.D. in.Entomology, Univ. California, Berkeley, 1972, The 2008 catalogue ofU.S.-Canada butterflies by J. Pelham is an outstanding reference on the names given to those· butterflies, and their types and type localities. However, it is a work ofICZN nomenclature, and emphasizes technical details of types and names rather than their biological importance. Thus, many of the names are given the wrong status as synonyms or subspecies or species, the degree of distinctiveness of these names cannot be determined, many names are arranged by geography rather than by biological relationship to other names, and important biological forms are unrecognizably lost in lengthy lists ofICZN-criteria synonyms. So this is a good opportunity to present the first "Biological Catalogue" of North American butterflies. What is a Biological Catalogue? It is a list of the biological creatures of an area that emphasizes biology first, nomenclature second. The goal is to define the biological units actually existing in nature, and correctly present their status, and then apply the existing names to those units in a way that best represents their biological status. Here are examples of the differences between biology and nom((nclature: 1) In a list of names, all the subspecies names within a species are given equal importance, even if some are very weak near-synonyms and others are very distinct almost­ species. In a biological catalogue, the subspecies are nested-less-distinctive ssp. are subordinated to more-distinct ssp.--to show their distinctiveness.
