“…This is, therefore, a new record for the Quadrilátero Ferrífero. Panoquina peraea (Hewitson, 1866), previously known to occurs only in the states of Rio de Janeiro (Mielke & Casagrande, 2002) and Bahia (Lima & Zacca, 2014), is a new record for Minas Gerais.…”

Butterfly fauna (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) in an ecotone between two biodiversity hotspots in Minas Gerais, Brazil

This paper investigates the butterfly fauna of the ‘Serra do Rola-Moça’ State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We evaluate i) the seasonal variation of species richness and composition; and ii) the variation in composition of the local butterfly assemblage among three sampling sites and between the dry and rainy seasons. Sampling was carried out monthly between November 2012 and October 2013, using entomological nets. After a total sampling effort of 504 net hours, 311 species were recorded, one of them endangered in Brazil, and eight probable new species. Furthermore, two species were new records for the region and seven considered endemic of the Cerrado. There was no significant difference in species richness between the dry and the rainy seasons, however the species composition varies significantly among sampling sites. Due to its special, heterogeneous environment, which is home to a rich butterfly fauna, its preservation is important for the conservation of the regional butterfly fauna.

“…Larsen (1999, 2005) briefly discussed A. dida , noted that the female paratype may not be conspecific with the male holotype, and concluded that both are mislabelled, and apparently related to the South American Ablepsis (a subjective synonym of Oileides ). Mielke & Casagrande (2002) agreed that A. dida is a Neotropical species (also see Mielke, 2004, 2005), occurring from French Guiana to Amapá, Brazil, and reiterated that the type specimens were mislabelled. As noted by Olaf Mielke and Bernard Hermier (A. D. Warren, personal communication, 2006), Aurina is apparently related to but distinct from Oileides .…”

“…Other genera from Evans’ Carystus group ( Orses , Perichares ) are among unplaced Old World genera in our cladogram, complicating assignment of unsampled Carystus group genera to tribes. Based on the similarity of male genitalia to those of Talides and Dubiella (especially the rather simple valvae), and a similar arrangement of hyaline or pale forewing markings, we associate the following with Calpodini: Ebusus , Evansiella , Argon , Cobaloides , Sacrator , Megaleas , Lychnuchus , Tromba , Nyctus , Turmada , Synale , Carystus , Telles , Tisias , Moeros , Cobalus , Carystina , Tellona , Damas , Orphe , Carystoides and Lychnuchoides (Godman, 1901 in Godman & Salvin, 1879–1901; Draudt, 1917–1924; Evans, 1955; Freeman, 1969a; Nicolay, 1980; Miller, 1985; Mielke & Casagrande, 2002; Salazar & Vargas, 2002). Some of these may belong elsewhere, if the implied placement of Orses and Perichares among Old World hesperiines is accurate.…”

We propose a revised higher classification for the genera of Hesperiidae (skipper butterflies) of the world. We have augmented our published DNA data matrix with 49 morphological characters in order to infer relationships for taxa not sampled in the molecular study. We use the results of a combined analysis to identify morphological synapomorphies of the suprageneric clades of Hesperiidae, and to hypothesize a phylogenetic classification of the world's genera of Hesperiidae, the first of its kind for this diverse group. Monophyly of the family Hesperiidae is strongly supported, as are some of the traditionally recognized subfamilies. The results presented here largely corroborate those of our molecular study, but differ in several details. The Australian endemic Euschemon rafflesia is given subfamily status, as is Eudaminae. We recognize seven subfamilies of Hesperiidae: Coeliadinae, Euschemoninae (confirmed status), Eudaminae (new status), Pyrginae, Heteropterinae (confirmed status), Trapezitinae and Hesperiinae. We treat Pyrrhopygini, Tagiadini, Celaenorrhinini, Carcharodini, Achlyodidini, Erynnini and Pyrgini as tribes of Pyrginae. Circumscriptions of Achlyodidini and Pyrgini require further elucidation. Tribes of Hesperiinae include Aeromachini, Baorini, Taractrocerini, Thymelicini, Calpodini (reinstated status), Anthoptini (new tribe), Moncini and Hesperiini. The tribal placement of many Old World hesperiine genera remains ambiguous.

“…Genus Clito has been proposed by Evans (1953) to echo the name of its type species: clito (Fabricius). More recently, Mielke & Casagrande (2002) discovered that Evans's concept of the species clito was based on its misidentification, and the real clito (which, or a very closely related to it species, Evans in turn misidentified as Milanion hemestinus Mabille & Boullet) belongs to the genus Milanion Godman & Salvin. This seemingly perplexing resolution of Evans's double misidentification broke the link between Clito the genus and clito the species, and Evan's nominal species clito is now called by what Evans presumed to be its junior subjective synonym: Clito aberrans (Draudt, 1924)-currently the type of Clito.…”

Two new species of Clito from South America and a revision of the Clito littera group (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Pyrginae)

Two new species of Clito from the C. littera group are described: C. palotschka, sp. nov. from the Chocó region in Ecuador is the most distinctive in the group, and C. litteroides, sp. nov. from Venezuela is superficially more similar to C. littera differing mostly in the shape of male genitalic valvae. Comparative analyses of male genitalia and wing patterns suggest that C. anda Evans, 1953, new status; and C. nebulosa (Draudt, 1924), reinstated status are species-level taxa. A lectotype for Telemiades littera Mabille, 1877 is designated to ensure nomenclatural stability. Primary type specimens of all seven species in the C. littera group are illustrated with photographs, and an identification key to males is given.
