Caligopsis seleucida (Hewitson) e seus estágios imaturos (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Brassolinae)

Abstract

Os estágios imaturos de Caligopsis seleucida (Hewitson, 1877) são descritos de estudos em laboratório realizados em Diamantino (Mato Grosso) e Contagem (Minas Gerais). As larvas criadas no Mato Grosso foram alimentadas com Phyllostachys aurea A. & C. Rivieri e Dendrocalanus giganteus Munro (Poaceae), enquanto as outras larvas tiveram como alimento P. aurea e Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. (Poaceae). O desenvolvimento ontogênico de ovo até adulto (no Mato Grosso) foi de 115 dias quando as larvas tiveram cinco ínstares e de 147 dias quando tiveram um ínstar extra. Imaturos e adultos são ilustrados a cores.

Evaluating the monophyly and phylogenetic relationships of Brassolini genera (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

“…To do so, the strict consensus of the SAW trees was used to build a topology in which brassoline genera appeared as terminal taxa. Larval host plant data are based on Penz et al (2000), and include glasshouse records for Caligopsis seleucida (Hewitson, 1877) (Furtado & Campos‐Neto, 2004). Each host plant family was considered a ‘character’, and the use of each plant family was scored for 12 brassoline genera.…”

Defensive behavior associated with secretions from the prosternal paired glands of the larvae of Heliconius erato phyllis Fabricius (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

“…It is important to consider that the structure displays morphological plasticity in different groups, which in turn can be associated with a variety of physiological and adaptive functions as well (Vegliante & Hasenfuss 2011). In Caligopsis seleucida Hewitson, 1877 (Nymphalidae, Brassolinae), the conical integumentary sac is shaped as a red projection in front of the prothoracic legs (Furtado & Campos-Neto 2004). Particularly in Yponomeutidae, the structure is not protruded predators.…”

“…The edges of the slit have several sensilla, which may probably function as proprioceptor. It is also supposed that the prosternal glands may exist in the larva of other species and families due to previous investigations that demonstrate the existence of the conical integumentary sac on the prosternum in these other studied species (Peterson 1962;Osborn & Jaffé 1998;Paluch et al 2001;Furtado & Campos-Neto 2004;Souza et al 2006). A histological analysis of glands and surface area (light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy) demonstrates that the glandular units of the paired glands are composed of simple tall columnar epithelium, and the unit of the impair gland consists of simple low columnar epithelium.…”

Mesoamerica is a cradle and the Atlantic Forest is a museum of Neotropical butterfly diversity: Insights from the evolution and biogeography of Brassolini (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

“…To investigate dispersal patterns across the South American dry diagonal, we kept this area separate. We used distributional maps and observations, not always with primary geographic coordinates, from taxonomic revisions (Bristow 1981, 1982, 1991, Casagrande 2002, Furtado and Campos-Neto 2004, Penz 2008, 2009a, b, Garzón-Orduña and Penz 2009, Penz et al 2017), and also published butterfly inventories in Mesoamerica (DeVries 1983, 1994, Janzen and Hallwachs 2009, Basset et al 2015), Amazonia (Pereira Martins et al 2017), Cerrado (Pinheiro and Emery 2006, Emery et al 2006, Silva et al 2012, Pereira Martins et al 2017, Dickens et al 2019), Caatinga (Zacca and Bravo 2012), and the Atlantic Forest (Santos et al 2011, 2018, Pérez et al 2017, Melo et al 2019, Soldati et al 2019). We call this the presence/absence biogeographical dataset.…”
