“…Although the biology and taxonomy of preponines has been the focus of several studies (e.g. Muyshondt, 1974; Johnson & Descimon, 1988, 1989; Llorente‐Bousquets et al , 1992; Salazar, 1999; DeVries & Walla, 2001; Furtado, 2001, 2008; Berthier, 2005), historically there has been much disagreement about the higher‐level and species‐level classification. The current generic classification of Preponini (Lamas, 2004) follows that of other authors (e.g.…”

Molecular systematics of the butterfly tribe Preponini (Nymphalidae: Charaxinae)

The nymphalid butterfly tribe Preponini includes some of the Neotropical region's most spectacular and familiar butterflies, but the taxonomy of the group nevertheless remains unstable. Several recent studies of Nymphalidae phylogeny have suggested that both the tribe itself and several genera might not be monophyletic, but to date taxon sampling has not been sufficiently comprehensive to allow informed revision of the group's systematics. We therefore conducted the first complete specieslevel phylogenetic study of the tribe to establish a firm higher classification. We used DNA sequence data from three genes, the two mitochondrial genes cytochrome oxidase subunits I and II (COI and COII ), and the nuclear gene elongation factor-1 α (EF-1α), to reconstruct the phylogeny of the tribe using maximum likelihood (ML), maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI). We included 48 individuals representing the 22 recognised Preponini species, and an additional 25 out-group taxa to explore taxonomic limits at different levels. Firstly, we found that Anaeomorpha splendida Rothschild never grouped with remaining Preponini, so that maintaining monophyly of the tribe requires the taxon to be excluded, and we thus reinstate the tribe Anaeomorphini stat.rev. Secondly, we investigated generic limits, in particular the relationship of Noreppa Rydon to Archaeoprepona Fruhstorfer, and that of Agrias Doubleday to Prepona Boisduval. The molecular results coupled with previous morphological studies suggest that Noreppa syn.n should be synonymised with Archaeoprepona, and that Agrias syn.n should be synonymised with Prepona. We found Prepona pheridamas (Cramer) to be sister to all other Prepona, and markedly divergent from them in both morphology and DNA sequences, suggesting the possibility that it should be placed in a separate genus. We also found a number of cases of significant DNA sequence divergence and paraphyly or polyphyly within putative species that require further taxonomic attention, including Prepona claudina (Godart) stat.n. and Prepona narcissus (Staudinger) stat.n., Prepona pylene Hewitson and Prepona deiphile (Godart). Future research should focus on a broader population sampling of widespread, polymorphic Preponini species to thoroughly revise the current species-level taxonomy, thus creating a solid foundation for studies in ecology and conservation.

“…Some characters previously referred to as diagnostic for Archaeoprepona immature stages were not supported by our review, such as a drastic colour change before pupation and the presence of whitish scattered spots in pupae, as indicated by Muyshondt (). The former has also been noted in M. pheridamas (Cramer, 1777) (Furtado ), P. amydon ferdinandi (Fruhstorfer, 1895) (Furtado ), P. hewitsonius beata (Staudinger, [1885]) (Teshirogi ) and P. amydon philatelica (Janzen & Hallwachs ), and yellowish spots decorate the pupae of A. camilla metabus (Janzen & Hallwachs ). DeVries () further suggested that Prepona could be distinguished from Archaeoprepona by its crooked posterior abdominal projections, but mature larvae of both genera can twist or straighten these projections freely.…”

Unfortunately, it was impossible to investigate the state of the prothoracic plate in other species, because they were not described by Furtado () and Muyshondt (), and it is difficult to evaluate this character in hand drawings and black and white photographs.…”

We describe the external morphology and natural history of the immature stages of the turquoise-banded shoemaker Archaeoprepona amphimachus pseudomeander (Fruhstorfer, 1906) (Charaxinae: Preponini), found in a forest fragment in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Immature stages of this species use two species of Cinnamomum (Lauraceae) as host plants. We also provide morphological descriptions and illustrations and discuss morphological characteristics of taxonomic significance of immature stages of other species of Preponini known to date. These data support the synonymisation of Noreppa Rydon, 1971 with Archaeoprepona Fruhstorfer, 1915 and the close relationship between species formerly included in Agrias Doubleday, 1844 and the other species of Prepona Boisduval, [1836]. Our results agree with recent morphological and molecular findings, supporting the assertion that immature stages are an important source of information for systematics.

“…Eggs of Prepona are described as “smooth” and without “visible sculptures”, even at ten times magnification; the first instar head capsule is always somewhat triangular in shape, stretched dorso-ventrally; A2 with hemispheric projections; and A9+10 with two tiny posterior projections, dorsal to the anal opening (Muyshondt 1973; Furtado 2001). As previously noted by some authors, Prepona immature stages seem remarkably similar to several species of Agrias Doubleday, even enough to be considered congeneric (Rydon 1971; Furtado 2000; JSM Bizarro pers.…”

The external morphology and the tegument ultra-structure of Prepona laertes laertes (Hübner, [1811]) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Charaxinae) eggs and first instar larvae feeding on Inga spp. (Fabaceae) in a forest fragment in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, are described. Descriptions of the morphology with illustrations are presented, based upon observations through scanning electron microscopy and stereoscopic and optic microscopes attached to a camera lucida. Descriptions and illustrations of the head capsule, chaetotaxy, tegument, and setae are presented. The taxonomy, morphological characters, and host plant use of Prepona laertes immature stages are discussed.
