“…This is also in accordance with a recent cladistic analysis of morphological characters for the subfamily Charaxinae (Marconato 2008), in which, except for Anaeomorpha splendida, Preponini is monophyletic. At the generic level, Archaeoprepona and Prepona were polyphyletic, since Archaeoprepona should include the monotypic genus Noreppa, and Prepona should include Agrias, to be monophyletic.…”

“…However, the ML tree (not shown) did not recover Archaeoprepona as monophyletic at any level. Prepona was found to be paraphyletic because it included Agrias in both the NJ and the ML trees, a result supported by a previous cladistic analysis (Marconato 2008). The PreponaAgrias group did not show the same topology in the NJ and the ML analyses, but the same lower groups were recovered by both analyses.…”

Tropical montane nymphalids in Mexico: DNA barcodes reveal greater diversity

Materials and methods: DNA sequences obtained for the Barcode of Life library in the All Lepidoptera Campaign project Nymphalidae of Central Mexico were analyzed as a test of species limits and to explore possible phylogenetic groupings in the Preponini tribe. Using specimens in the National Insect Collection of the Instituto de Biología of the Universidad Nacional Autó noma de México, 78 specimens were assayed for cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1. Results: Disregarding the missing data, there were 458 conserved sites, 200 variable sites and 187 parsimony-informative sites. The neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood analyses indicate that none of the three genera of Preponini as currently circumscribed are reciprocally monophyletic. As per species limits, high levels of barcode variation in the Prepona deiphile complex suggest the existence of at least two new endemic species to Mexico. The divergent taxa were escalantiana from the Tuxtlas region in Veracruz, and ibarra from Sierra Madre del Sur in the Pacific states of southern Mexico. The genetic distance in the CO1 fragment between them and the other deiphile populations ranged from 2.7 to 8.0%. Conclusion: We recommend that morphological data need to be re-examined and that additional molecular data for species ought to be gathered before a particular biogeographic model can be proposed for the group in Mesoamerica.

“…D’Abrera, 1987; DeVries, 1987; Neild, 1996), and has remained moderately stable since Rydon's (1971) morphology‐based higher classification of the Charaxinae. Nevertheless, several studies have suggested that this classification is in need of revision (Furtado, 2008; Marconato, 2008; Escalante et al , 2010), but to date studies of Preponini have only been performed as part of higher‐level studies of butterflies, with relatively few preponine species represented. Based on partial sequences of the nuclear gene wingless , and with only a single preponine species included, Brower (2000) assessed the phylogenetic relationships among the tribes of the family Nymphalidae, and found Preponini to be sister to all other charaxines.…”

“…In a later work, Freitas & Brown (2004) proposed a phylogenetic hypothesis of the family Nymphalidae based on morphology, again including only one Preponini individual, Archaeoprepona chalciope (Hübner). Later, Marconato (2008) presented a phylogeny of Charaxinae based on morphological characters, including the tribe Preponini, which was represented by 13 species. This study provided strong evidence of the need for further taxonomic study of the tribe.…”

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.
