You can walk in maybe a mile or so, get John’s April Panama trip due to circumstances beyond my past the trash heaps and into good scrubby habitat. Lots control, but I flew into Panama City April 15th and caught of birds, lance-tailed mannikins calling and displaying, up with the group for the second half of the trip. This still and some good butterflies. The best, to me, was Arawacus allowed me to do the Darien part of the trip, which was the dumenilii, which I had never seen before. Unfortunately main thing I was interested in. The first half was more in I couldn’t get a live shot, though the collectors got several the highlands, at Finca Hartmann, and was quite good, specimens. They look very moth like when they fly, small from what they told me. and pale, fluttering through the dead grasses. I did get some photos of one of my favorite skippers, Paches loxus. The lowlands seemed to be slow this time. We were at the end of the dry season/beginning of the rainy season. It had been a very hot, dry, and windy previous several months, and this may have negatively impacted the butterflies. Lycaenidae: My first day we went to Cerro Jefe, which has been great in Arawacus the past but not today. Very slow, not much flying, though dumenilii JD and I did have a suicidal Ancyluris inca which attacked (Photo by us in ‘the tunnel’. This is right next to the microwave Jerry McWilliams) towers on the top, where you can often find a number of riodinids. The only other species I saw was Neoxeniades pluviasilva, which wouldn’t pose for any photos, but John MacDonald later caught it. We left and headed back for the ‘rubbish road’, which is a new area the guys just discovered last year. It is close to Panama City, right over the bridge of the Americas. You take the first exit, to Veracruz, go about 5-10 minutes and pull off to your left. Folks are apparently using the area Hesperiidae: Paches loxus The next morning we left early, 6am, for the 6 hour drive to Yaviza, at the end of the Panamerican Highway. You have to go through several checkpoints, where you need to have permits and passports for everyone in the car. Al had everything in order, but we still had to wait a couple of times; overall it went smoothly. We made it to Yaviza about 12:30pm, where we had to check in to two other offices for permits to proceed, the equivalent of Panama Fish and Game, then the local police. But the Fish and Game office was closed early for Easter, which wasn’t until Sunday. So frantic scrambling around town by Al and Luis, our local Kim Garwood with Ancyluris inca (Riodinidae) on her hat. Indian guide, for the next several hours. Luis finally found (Photo by Jon D.

    Uncus Shaped Akin to Elephant Tusks Defines a New Genus for Two Very Different-In-Appearance Neotropical Skippers (Hesperiidae: Pyrginae)

    The Journal Volume 45: 101-112 of Research on the Lepidoptera ISSN 0022-4324 (PR in T ) THE LEPIDOPTERA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, 29 DE C EMBER 2012 ISSN 2156-5457 (O N L in E ) Uncus shaped akin to elephant tusks defines a new genus for two very different-in-appearance Neotropical skippers (Hesperiidae: Pyrginae) Nic K V. GR ishin Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Departments of Biophysics and Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX, USA 75390-9050 [email protected] Abstract. Analyses of male genitalia, other aspects of adult, larval and pupal morphology, and DNA COI barcode sequences suggest that Potamanaxas unifasciata (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867) does not belong to Potamanaxas Lindsey, 1925 and not even to the Erynnini tribe, but instead is more closely related to Milanion Godman & Salvin, 1895 and Atarnes Godman & Salvin, 1897, (Achlyodini). Unexpected and striking similarities are revealed in the male genitalia of P. unifasciata and Atarnes hierax (Hopffer, 1874). Their genitalia are so similar and distinct from the others that one might casually mistake them for the same species. Capturing this uniqueness, a new genus Eburuncus is erected to include: E. unifasciata, new combination (type species) and E. hierax, new combination. Key words: phylogenetic classification, monophyletic taxa, immature stages, DNA barcodes,Atarnes sallei, Central America, Peru. INTRODUCT I ON 1982-1999). Most of Burns’ work derives from careful analysis of genitalia, recently assisted by morphology Comprehensive work by Evans (e.g. Evans, 1937; of immature stages and molecular evidence (e.g. 1952; 1953) still remains the primary source of Burns & Janzen, 2005; Burns et al., 2009; 2010).

Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées. Summary : Studies on molecular phylogenies of Butterflies and Burnets have been increasingly frequent in the recent years, changing the systematics and taxonomy of these two groups.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

We explore the influence of each gene region on the support given to each node of the most parsimonious tree derived from a combined analysis of all three genes using Partitioned Bremer Support. We also explore the influence of assuming equal weights for all characters in the combined analysis by investigating the stability of clades to different transition/transversion weighting schemes. We find many strongly supported and stable clades in the Nymphalinae. We are also able to identify ‘rogue’

INTRODUCTION The genus Boloria Moore, 1900, although apparently embracing few species, presents enormous taxonomic problems as being represented by a number of mostly allopatric taxa confined to different mountain systems, which exhibit a great 1 geographical variation accompanied with a considerable individual variability. In his classical work, Warren (1944) has divided all the diversity of the genus into three species, the main diagnostic features being the ratio of the toothed apical part (head) of the harpe to the total harpe length, being 0.30-0.4 (with the mean 0.33) in B. graeca (Staudinger, 1870), 0.33-0.50 (with the mean of 0.40) in B. pales ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775) s. l., and 0.47-0.63 (with the mean of 0.50) in B.

    A Molecular Phylogeny of the Neotropical Butterfly Genus Anartia

    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 26 (2003) 46–55 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev A molecular phylogeny of the neotropical butterfly genus Anartia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Michael J. Blum,a,b,* Eldredge Bermingham,b and Kanchon Dasmahapatrab,c a Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27705, USA b Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Naos Island Molecular Laboratories, Unit 0948, APO-AA 34002-0948, Panama, FL, USA c Department of Biology, Galton Laboratory, University College, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, UK Received 2 August 2001; received in revised form 17 June 2002 Abstract While Anartia butterflies have served as model organisms for research on the genetics of speciation, no phylogeny has been published to describe interspecific relationships. Here, we present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Anartia species relationships, using both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Analyses of both data sets confirm earlier predictions of sister species pairings based primarily on genital morphology. Yet both the mitochondrial and nuclear gene phylogenies demonstrate that Anartia jatrophae is not sister to all other Anartia species, but rather that it is sister to the Anartia fatima–Anartia amathea lineage. Traditional bi- ogeographic explanations for speciation across the genus relied on A. jatrophae being sister to its congeners. These explanations invoked allopatric divergence of sister species pairs and multiple sympatric speciation events to explain why A. jatrophae flies alongside all its congeners. The molecular phylogenies are more consistent with lineage divergence due to vicariance, and range expansion of A. jatrophae to explain its sympatry with congeners. Further interpretations of the tree topologies also suggest how morphological evolution and eco-geographic adaptation may have set species range boundaries.

A total of 886 taxa were found. Einleitung Der 19. Südtiroler Tag der Artenvielfalt wurde am 30. Juni 2018 im Talschluss von Ulten abgehalten. Wie in den Jahren zuvor oblag dem Naturmuseum Südtirol sowohl die Organisation im Vorfeld als auch die Koordination vor Ort. Begleitend zu den Felderhebungen der zahlreichen Fachleute (siehe einzelne Beiträge) war ein didakti- sches Rahmenprogramm vorgesehen, das eine vogelkundliche und eine naturkundliche Wanderung im Untersuchungsgebiet (Organisation: Nationalpark Stilfserjoch unter der Koordination von Ronald Oberhofer) sowie ein Kinder- und Familienprogramm im Nationalparkhaus Lahnersäge in St. Gertraud umfasste (Organisation und Durchführung durch die Mitarbeiterinnen des Naturmuseums Südtirol Johanna Platzgummer, Elisabeth Waldner und Verena Preyer). Für allgemeine Informationen (Konzept und Organisation) zum Tag der Artenvielfalt und insbesondere zur Südtiroler Ausgabe siehe HILPOLD & KRANEBITTER (2005) und SCHATZ (2016).
