355 Genus Apaturopsis Aurivillius AFROTROPICAL BUTTERFLIES. MARK C. WILLIAMS. http://www.lepsocafrica.org/?p=publications&s=atb Updated 25 December 2020 Genus Apaturopsis Aurivillius, [1899] Empresses In: Aurivillius, [1898-9]. Kungliga Svenska Vetenskapakademiens Handlingar 31 (5): 151 (1-561). Type-species: Apatura cleochares Hewitson, by subsequent designation (Stichel, 1938. In: Bryk, F., Lepidopterorum Catalogus 30 (86): 373 (1-374). s’Gravenhage.) The genus Apaturopsis belongs to the Family Nymphalidae Rafinesque, 1815; Subfamily Apaturinae Boisduval, 1840. There are no other genera in the Subfamily Apaturinae in the Afrotropical Region. Apaturopsis (Empresses) is an Afrotropical genus containing three species. The genus appears to be very similar to the Palaearctic Apatura (Apaturinae) (Schultze, 1920). *Apaturopsis cleochares (Hewitson, 1873) Painted Empress Males of the Painted Empress (Apaturopsis cleochares).

Distribution: Guinea, Sierra Leone (Collins et al., 2003), Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Angola, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe. Habitat: Forest and heavy woodland. In Tanzania subspecies schultzei is found at altitudes from 300 to 700 m (occasionally much higher) (Kielland, 1990d). Habits: A rare species that flies very fast, and high up, along the edges of forest, sometimes settling on damp spots. In flight and habits it somewhat resembles a Libythea or small brown Sevenia (Larsen, 2005a). Specimens are also occasionally attracted to fermenting banana, excrement and other decaying matter. Specimens probably usually frequent the forest canopy (Pringle et al., 1994). They often settle on the branches and trunks of trees (Cookson, vide Pringle et al., 1994). In West Africa this is a rare species (Larsen, 2005a). Flight period: September to May (Pringle et al., 1994). Early stages: Schultze, 1916 (or 1920?)

Ecosphere 4(3):36. http://dx.doi. org/10.1890/ES12-00338.1 Abstract. Temporal variation and phenology of tropical insect communities and the role of environmental factors controlling this variation is poorly understood. A better understanding is needed, for example, to predict the effects of climate change on tropical insect communities and to assess the long- term persistence of tropical communities. We studied seasonal and inter-annual variation in tropical fruit- feeding butterflies by exploiting a unique 137-month abundance time series of .100 species, sampled at 22 locations in the medium altitude montane rain forest of Kibale National Park, western Uganda. Precipitation peaked twice per year, about 20 d after each equinox. Vegetation greenness peaked approximately 33 d later. Species richness and abundance of butterflies peaked about 2 and 3 months, respectively, after the greenness peak.

  • 1960 Studies of the Chromosomes of North
    1960 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 179 STUDIES OF THE CHROMOSOMES OF NORTH AMERICAN RHOPALOCERA. 4. NYMPHALINJE, CHARAXIDINJE, LIHYTHEINJE by KODO MAEKI and CHARLES L. REMINGTON This paper concludes the report of our first systematic survey of the groups of the Rhopalocera. The first supplement, giving new counts for species of various families, is in preparation. Our preceding papers (Maeki & Remington, 1960a, 1960b, 1961) gave notes on our techniques and sources of material and presented new data and discussions of the cytotaxonomy of the Hesperiid::e, Megathymid::e, P li erid::e, Papilionid::e, Lyc::enid::e (sensu lato), and part of the Nymphalid:E (s. l.). For the Nymphalid::e we are following the subfamily classification of EHRLICH (1958), but we include the Libythein::e as one more subfamily of the Nymphalid::e. In some compelling characters they seem to us closer to the Nymphalid::e than do the Danain::e, among others. Most of the specimens for which the chromosomes are reported here were collected in 1959. Some additional species of Nymphalid::e are included in our first supplementary paper, and there are counts for several Acr::ein::e and Nymphalin::e and one Charaxidin::e in our forth­ coming paper on African species. As with the previous groups, we have noted in square brackets our designations of the individuals studied; this number will be found on the specimen and the slides of its testes, all preserved for permanent reference in the Peabody Museum of Yale University. In the lists that follow, un" represents the haploid chromosome number, ''I'' refers to the primary spermatocyte division and "II" to the secondary spermatocyte division.

Langourov Abstract The paper represents results of entomological expedition carried out in the central and southern parts of Armenia in May and June 2018. It includes a list of 124 Lepidoptera species (Papilionoidea) recorded with comments on their distribution. Two species are reported for the first time for the country: Pieris mannii (Mayer, 1851) and Plebejus morgianus (Kirby, 1871). Three cases of suspected errors in label data of the material are reviewed. It is assumed that these errors are attributable to mislabelling of material collected elsewhere, and it is concluded that all that records be considered highly doubtful and preferably ignored altogether until independent confirmation. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea, distribution, new data, revised records, Armenia.
