SRYGLEY Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Apdo. 2072, Balboa, Ancon, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA, and Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX13PS, ENGLAND ABSTRACT, Here we describe the complete life cycle of Galigo illioneus oberon Butler and the mature larva and pupa of C. idomeneus (L.). The mature larva and pupa of each species are illustrated. We also provide a compilation of host records for members of the Brassolinae and briefly address the interaction between these butterflies and their larval food plants, Additional key words: Central America, host records, monocotyledonous plants, larval food plants. The nymphalid subfamily Brassolinae includes METHODS Neotropical species of large body size and crepuscular habits, both as caterpillars and adults (Harrison 1963, Between 25 May and .31 December, 1994 we Casagrande 1979, DeVries 1987, Slygley 1994). Larvae searched for ovipositing female butterflies along generally consume large quantities of plant material to Pipeline Road, Soberania National Park, Panama, mo reach maturity, a behavior that may be related as much tivated by a study on Caligo mating behavior (Srygley to the low nutrient content of their larval food plants & Penz 1999). -

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. -
Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in a Coastal Plain Area in the State of Paraná, Brazil
62 TROP. LEPID. RES., 26(2): 62-67, 2016 LEVISKI ET AL.: Butterflies in Paraná Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in a coastal plain area in the state of Paraná, Brazil Gabriela Lourenço Leviski¹*, Luziany Queiroz-Santos¹, Ricardo Russo Siewert¹, Lucy Mila Garcia Salik¹, Mirna Martins Casagrande¹ and Olaf Hermann Hendrik Mielke¹ ¹ Laboratório de Estudos de Lepidoptera Neotropical, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Caixa Postal 19.020, 81.531-980, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]٭ Abstract: The coastal plain environments of southern Brazil are neglected and poorly represented in Conservation Units. In view of the importance of sampling these areas, the present study conducted the first butterfly inventory of a coastal area in the state of Paraná. Samples were taken in the Floresta Estadual do Palmito, from February 2014 through January 2015, using insect nets and traps for fruit-feeding butterfly species. A total of 200 species were recorded, in the families Hesperiidae (77), Nymphalidae (73), Riodinidae (20), Lycaenidae (19), Pieridae (7) and Papilionidae (4). Particularly notable records included the rare and vulnerable Pseudotinea hemis (Schaus, 1927), representing the lowest elevation record for this species, and Temenis huebneri korallion Fruhstorfer, 1912, a new record for Paraná. These results reinforce the need to direct sampling efforts to poorly inventoried areas, to increase knowledge of the distribution and occurrence patterns of butterflies in Brazil. Key words: Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, conservation, inventory, species richness. INTRODUCTION the importance of inventories to knowledge of the fauna and its conservation, the present study inventoried the species of Faunal inventories are important for providing knowledge butterflies of the Floresta Estadual do Palmito. -

Rainbow Peacock Spiders Inspire Miniature Super-Iridescent Optics

Two miniature peacock spiders (Maratus robinsoni and M. chrysomelas) court females using tiny structured scales (~ 40 × 10 μm2) that reflect the full visual spectrum. Using TEM and optical modelling, we show that the spiders’ scales have 2D nanogratings on microscale 3D convex surfaces with at least twice the resolving power of a conventional 2D diffraction grating of the same period. Whereas the long optical path lengths required for light-dispersive components to resolve individual wavelengths constrain current spectrometers to bulky sizes, our nano-3D printed prototypes demonstrate that the design principle of the peacock spiders’ scales could inspire novel, miniature light-dispersive components. 1 Department of Biology and Integrated Bioscience Program, The University of Akron, Akron, OH 44325, USA. 2 Department of Medical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA. 3 Department of Computational Physics, University of Groningen, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands. 4 19 Grevillea Avenue, St. Ives, NSW 2075, Australia. 5 Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA. 6 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588, USA. -
Ecology, Population Biology and Mortality of Euptoieta Hegesia Cramer (Nymphalidae) on Jamaica
}<mrnal <1 the Lepidopterists' Society 52(1), 1998, 9-39 ECOLOGY, POPULATION BIOLOGY AND MORTALITY OF EUPTOIETA HEGESIA CRAMER (NYMPHALIDAE) ON JAMAICA PHILLIP J. SCHAPPERT] AND JOEL S. SHORE Department of Biology, York University, 4700 Keele Street, North York, Ontario M3J IP3, Canada ABSTRACT. We examine the ecology, population biology and potential sources of mortality of Euptoieta hegesia, a tropical lowland butterfly from Jamaica, using a combina tion of captive rearing, studies of natural populations, and experimental approaches. We provide detailed observations of the life cycle and methods for captive rearing of this spe cies. We assess the relative performance of larvae on primary and secondary hostplants, distribution of larvae on the primary hostplant, hostplant population utilization, and the distribution of E. hegesia on the island. A mark-release-recapture study was conducted to estimate population parameters and we recorded sex, size, age (as estimated by wing wear), and wing damage sustained by the butterflies prior to their initial capture. We pro vide evidence that Tumera ulmifdia is the plimary hostplant of K hegesia on Jamaica and that butterfly population size is not limited by the availability of hostplants. These short lived butterflies appear to be residents of discrete hostplant populations and experience high mortality levels. Females are damaged more frequently, show more total damage and more frequent symmetrical hindwing damage (attributablc to ground-based predators) than do males. Wc compare the results of the population study with available studies of other tropical butterflies and suggest that lowland butterfly population structure and dy namics are Significantly different from that of rainforest species. -

Some Aspects of Mating Behavior in Butterflies
JOURNAL OF 10 THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' ,~OCIETY :r-.iumber 3 SOME ASPECTS OF MATING BEHAVIOR IN BUTTERFLIES L EE D. MILLER Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C. 20017 AND HARRY K. CLENCH Carnegie J\!Iuseum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 152]3 Mating butterflies tend to remain nearly motionless. As a result we witness the activity infrequently and our knowledge of it remains ex tremely limited. Two kinds of mating data, however, are reasonably accessible to the general observer and give promise of increasing value as more records accumulate: the time of day when mating occurs; and the sex of the active (flying) partner. The first requires simply a nota tion of the time of day. The second is not so simple. In many cases mated pairs must be disturbed deliberately to cause them to fly. The determination of the sex of the one that flies, however, is by no means easy in those species where the sexes closely resemble one another. For several years each of us has been noting this information as oppor tunity presented during the course of collecting. In January, ] 966, when we went to Mexico as the Carnegie Museum-Catholic University of America Expedition, gathering additional records was on our agenda. Our accumulated observations are given in thc present paper. We havc added such published records as we have been able to find, but wc have made no intensive literature search. The absolute necessity for accurate reporting (which includes admis sion of doubt or deletion of a questionable datum) is underscored by the curious paper of Pronin (]964) on this subject. -
