Lepidoptera, Lycaenida
Boletín de la SAE Nº 19 (2012): 43-74 ISSN: 1578-1666 ISSN: 2254-8777 Consideraciones sobre la diversidad cromática de la familia Zygaenidae Latreille, 1809 (Insecta: Lepidoptera) Fidel FERNÁNDEZ-RUBIO1 1 Paseo de la Castellana, 138, 3º-28046 MADRID [email protected] RESUMEN: El trabajo muestra una breve descripción actualizada sobre la taxonomía y filogenia de la familia Zygaenidae, señalando la capacidad de sus especies de sintetizar cianoglucósidos y destacando la transcendencia de este hecho en la aparición de colores aposemáticos, en todos los géneros de Zygaeninae, donde sus especies forman un mimetismo de Müller, con los consecuentes resultados defensivos frente a los depredadores. Se destaca la influencia de la altitud y temperatura ambiental en la intensidad cromática de las formas locales de sus especies. Se señala la presencia de esta coloración defensiva en las especies del único género Paleártico de Chacosiinae (Aglaope), a diferencia de la coloración críptica, de camuflaje, en todas las especies Paleárticas de Procridinae, donde la formación de cianoglucósidos es muy baja o no está comprobada. Se acompañan varios anexos: una lista revisada de todos los géneros, subgéneros y especies de Zyganoidea que colonizan la Península Ibérica (anexo 1), la etimología de los nombre de las especies citadas (anexo 2) y un glosario de los términos poco usuales (anexo 3). Se muestra una abundante iconografía de las especies y circunstancias citadas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Zygaenidae, cianoglucósidos, coloración aposemática, mimetismo de Müller. Considerations on the chromatic range of the family Zygaenidae Latreille, 1809 (Insecta: Lepidoptera) ABSTRACT: The taxonomy and phylogeny of Zygaenidae is outlined, indicating the capacity of its species to synthesize cyanoglucosides, emphasizing its transcendence in the appearance of aposematic colours in all the species of Zygaeninae, where their species form mimicry of Müller, with the consequent defensive results front to the predators. -
The Pyrenees
The Pyrenees A Greentours Holiday for the Alpine Garden Society 10th to 23rd June 2011 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Friday 10 th June Arrival and Transfer to Formigueres Having driven from the south western Alps and reached Carcassonne the previous evening, I continued to Toulouse to meet the group at the airport. I was unexpectedly delayed by French customs who stopped me at the toll booth entering the city. There followed a lengthy questioning, as I had to unpack the contents of my suspiciously empty Italian mini-bus and show them my two large boxes of books, suitcase full of clothes, picnic supplies, etc., to convince them my purpose was a botanical tour to the Pyrenees. Now a little late I arrived breathlessly at Toulouse airport and rushed to the gate to meet Margaret, and the New Zealand contingent of Chris, Monica, Archie and Lynsie, hurriedly explaining the delay. Anyway we were soon back on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. White Storks in a field on route was a surprise. We made a picnic stop at a functional aire where there were tables, and a selection of weedy plants. Black Kite soared overhead. Once past Foix and Ax-les- Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to a misty Col de Puymorens. There a short stop yielded Pulsatilla vernalis in fruit and Trumpet Gentians. Roadside cliffs had Rock Soapwort, Saxifraga paniculata , and Elder-flowered Orchids became numerous. Now in the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, a fascinating route down into the valley took us through Saillagouse and Mont-Louis before heading up a minor road to the village of Formigueres, our base for the first three nights. -
Pyrenees Wildlife Tour Report Botanical Birdwatching Butterfly Holiday
The Pyrenees French & Spanish A Greentours Natural History Holiday 10th to 23rd June 2013 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Monday 10th June Arrival and Transfer to Cerdagne Having driven from the south western Alps, and having arrived in Toulouse the previous evening, I met the group at the airport in the morning. After loading the mini-bus, and having negotiated the complex road system around Toulouse, soon we were on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. Black Kite soared overhead, White Stork was seen, and a Montagu’s Harrier soared over arable fields. Once past Foix we stopped at a lakeside for a first picnic, of baguette, fruit, juice, etc. Here was Great Spotted Woodpecker, and Mandarin was added to the bird list! After Ax-les-Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to the Col de Puymorens. The road over the col was rather busier than usual today as the eponymous tunnel below it was closed for several months of repair work. Our first botanical stop was made for a slope sporting much fine Pyrenean Lily, an early highlight. This really was in superb flower today and although much was out of reach there were some fine examples within easy reach for photography. Also here was Silene rupestris. At the col itself, the slopes around still sporting much snow in this very atypical season, the rather late flora had some fine Pulsatilla vernalis and Trumpet Gentians. White flowers were a feature, with Ranunculus kuepferi and Anemone nemorosa alongside the pasque flowers. -
The Development of Animal Form: Ontogeny, Morphology, And
The Development of Animal Form Ontogeny, Morphology, and Evolution Contemporary research in the field of evolutionary deve- lopmental biology, or ‘evo-devo’, have to date been pre- dominantlydevotedtointerpretingbasicfeaturesofanimal architecture in molecular genetics terms.Considerably less time has been spent on the exploitation of the wealth of facts and concepts available from traditional disciplines, such as comparative morphology, even though these tradi- tional approaches can continue to offer a fresh insight into evolutionary developmental questions. The Development of Animal Form aims to integrate traditional morphologi- cal and contemporary molecular genetic approaches and to deal with postembryonic development as well. This ap- proach leads to unconventional views on the basic features of animal organisation, such as body axes, symmetry, seg- ments, body regions, appendages, and related concepts. This book will be of particular interest to graduate stu- dents and researchers in evolutionary and developmental biology, as well as to those in related areas of cell biology, genetics, and zoology.

Butterflies & Moths of the Spanish Pyrenees
Butterflies & Moths of the Spanish Pyrenees Naturetrek Tour Report 6 - 13 July 2016 Goat Moth by Chris Gibson Large Tortoiseshell by David Tipping Spotted Fritillary by David Tipping Spanish Purple Hairstreak by Bob Smith Report compiled by Chris Gibson Images courtesy of David Tipping, Bob Smith & Chris Gibson Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ England T: +44 (0)1962 733051 F: +44 (0)1962 736426 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Butterflies & Moths of the Spanish Pyrenees Participants: Chris Gibson, Richard Cash and Peter Rich (Leaders) with 10 Naturetrek clients Introduction A late, damp spring ensured that the landscape around Berdún, in the foothills of the Aragónese Pyrenees, was much greener than on some previous trips at this time. A wide range of nectar sources had persisted until mid- summer, and when the sun came out at least, attracted large numbers and a rich diversity of butterflies. We explored from the lowlands to the high mountains, in weather that varied from warm and humid, to very hot and dry, albeit with persistent northerly winds on the last couple of days. In total the week produced 113 species of butterfly, together with many dazzling day-flying moths (particularly burnets) and other wonderful bugs and beasties. And almost nightly moth trapping gave us a window into the night-life, albeit dominated by Pine Processionaries, but with a good sample of the big, beautiful and bizarre. Add in to the mix the stunning scenery, a good range of mountain birds, a few mammals and reptiles, and wonderful food, drink and accommodation at Casa Sarasa: the perfect recipe for an outstanding holiday! Day 1 Wednesday 6th July We arrived at Zaragoza Airport, met Peter, and boarded the minibuses to be taken to Casa Sarasa in Berdún; it was sunny and hot, but there were still a few interesting birds to be seen en route, including White Stork, Booted Eagle, and Red and Black Kites. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The neotenic elaterid genus Drilus Olivier, 1790 in Asia Minor is reviewed. Twelve species are recognized, of which seven are described as new: Drilus badius sp. nov., D. huijbregtsi sp. nov., D. mertliki sp. nov., D. robustus sp. nov., D. sanli- urfensis sp. nov., D. teunisseni sp. nov., and D. turcicus sp. nov. All known species are listed with diagnoses, data on variability and distribution. A key to the males of Drilus species in Asia Minor is provided and information on prey of known larvae is summarized. Antennal morphology of Drilini females is briefly discussed. Key words: antenna, Turkey, Elateroidea, larva, neoteny, taxonomy, snails Introduction The genus Drilus Olivier, 1790 belongs to the soft-bodied elaterid tribe Drilini (Kundrata & Bocak 2011, Kundrata et al. 2014a). Fully winged males are characterized by the serrate to pectinate antennae, convex lateral pronotal margins, almost complete sharp edges at lateral prothoracic margins, and the deeply emarginate or v-shaped frontal margin of mesoventrite (Kundrata & Bocak 2007, Kundrata et al. -
