Immature stages of the butterfly Magneuptychia libye (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

New distribution records and notes on the habitat of Magneuptychia flavofascia Zacca & Siewert, 2014 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

“…Extensive censuses inside the gallery forests, mesophytic forests, and cerrado areas (both with entomological nets and bait traps) in the Chapada dos Guimarães showed that M. flavofascia was absent in these habitats, being observed exclusively in the interface between open vegetation and forest. This habit preference reported for M. flavofascia is distinct to that observed for several other species of Magneuptychia, which are associated with forest habitats (e.g., DeVries 1987; Kaminski and Freitas 2008). For example, the three widespread species Magneuptychia libye (Linnaeus, 1767), Magneuptychia pallema (Schaus, 1902), and Magneu ptychia ocypete (Fabricius, 1776), were only observed inside the gallery forests and the mesophytic forests in the same region (R. Dell'Erba, pers.…”

Combining target enrichment and Sanger sequencing data to clarify the systematics of the diverse Neotropical butterfly subtribe Euptychiina (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

“…(Janzen & Hallwachs, 2022). For most species of this clade, published information on the natural history, immatures and biology is still unknown, with a few exceptions (Corahua‐Espinoza, Nakahara, Kabir, et al, 2022; Corahua‐Espinoza, Nakahara, Shellman, et al, 2022; Freitas, 2022; Janzen & Hallwachs, 2022; Kaminski & Freitas, 2008; Nakahara, Hoffman, et al, 2020).…”

These phylogenetic studies revealed a number of cases of generic paraphyly or polyphyly, implying the need for extensive revision of the generic classification.…”
