Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea) of the Private Reserve of Natural Heritage Fazenda Lontra/Saudade, Itanagra, Northern Coast of Bahia, Brazil

“…The Neotropical genus Pierella Westwood, 1851, so far, with four species in northeastern Brazil in the states Alagoas, Paraíba, Bahia and Pernambuco (Cardoso 1949;Kesselring & Ebert 1982;Zacca 2009;Paluch et al 2011;Zacca et al 2011), has revealed new taxa to the Northeastern Atlantic Forest, as Pierella sp. nov. in FLS described in Zacca et al (in press) (Taxonomic revision of the ''Pierella lamia species group''), as well as, Pierella lena atlantica Paluch, Zacca & Siewert, 2015in Paluch et al (2015.…”

Species limits in butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): Reconciling classical taxonomy with the multispecies coalescent

“…Haeterini butterflies were collected by the authors and collaborators throughout most of the geographical range of the tribe, including localities from northern Costa Rica to southeastern Brazil. Specimens were identified to the species and subspecies level following published taxonomic revisions (Constantino, 1995; Lamas, 1997; Penz et al , 2014; Paluch et al , 2015; Willmott, 2015; Zacca et al , 2016) and comparing wing morphology to type specimen photographs at https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com (last accessed August 2018). We sampled all five Haeterini genera, including 18 of 29 currently valid species, and 18 of 39 subspecies (Lamas, 2004; Penz et al , 2014; Paluch et al , 2015; Willmott, 2015; Zacca et al , 2016).…”

Note that several subspecies were not represented in our sample because they are only known from type collections (hampering their access for genetic studies) or have rarely been collected in recent years.…”

“…Taxonomic work on this charismatic group involves numerous researchers over the last 150 years (e.g. Herrich-Schäffer, 1864;Weymer, 1910;Miller, 1968;Constantino, 1995;Lamas, 1997;Penz et al, 2014;Paluch et al, 2015;Willmott, 2015;Zacca et al, 2016). Haeterini is a monophyletic tribe (Wahlberg et al, 2009;Chazot et al, 2019), and current taxonomic understanding (Lamas, 2004;Penz et al, 2014;Willmott, 2015;Zacca et al, 2016) is that Haeterini consists of 29 described species and 39 subspecies.…”
