With seven species recorded, the number of Ithomiini is similar to that recorded in João Pessoa, Paraíba, with eight species (Kesselring & Ebert 1982) and in Itanagra, Bahia, with seven species (Paluch et al 2016).

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) of an urban park in northeastern Brazil

Despite being one of the groups most well studied in Brazil, the butterfly fauna of northeastern Brazil, especially north of the mouth of São Francisco River, is poorly known. The aim of this study was to inventory the butterfly fauna in a remnant of Atlantic Forest in the state of Pernambuco as a contribution to understanding the distribution of these insects. The study was carried out in a 384.7 hectares fragment of Parque Estadual Dois Irmãos, in the metropolitan region of Recife. The butterflies were sampled monthly with insect nets from August 2011 to July 2012 and from January to August 2016. Additional records were obtained from two entomological collections and from two previous visits to the area in July 2003 and August 2006. A total of 273 species was sampled in 464 hours, with an additional 15 species recorded from the Entomological Collections, totaling 288 butterfly species recorded. The richest family was Hesperiidae (108 species), followed by Nymphalidae (80), Lycaenidae (43) Riodinidae (37), Pieridae (16) and Papilionidae (4). The fauna was dominated by generalist species with a broad geographical distribution, many of them commonly found on open areas, forest edges and secondary vegetation. Roeberella lencates (Hewitson, 1875) and Pheles atricolor atricolor (Butler, 1871) (Riodinidae) represent new records for northeastern Brazil.

Prey often relies on multiple defences to avoid predators, such as difficulty of capture, attack deflection, or unpleasant taste. Eudaminae skipper butterflies rely on behavioural (fast flight) and mechanical defences (hindwing tails), but other defences like unpalatability (consumption deterrence), and the interaction among defences, have not been assessed.We test the palatability of 12 abundant Eudaminae species from a Neotropical locality, using training and feeding experiments with domestic chicks. Further, we approximate the difficulty of capture explained by flight speed and quantified by wing loading. To test how multiple defences are associated and explained by body size and habitat preference, we perform phylogenetic Bayesian regression analyses.We found a broad range of palatability in Eudaminae, within and among species. Palatability was negatively correlated with wing loading, indicating that butterflies with higher flight speed tend to have lower palatability.The presence or absence of tails did not explain the level of butterfly palatability, showing that attack deflection and consumption deterrence are not mutually exclusive defences. Habitat preference (open or forested environments) did not explain the level of palatability in Eudaminae, but it seems that butterflies with high wing loading (fast flight) tended to occupy semi-closed (e.g., hilltops) or closed habitats (e.g., secondary forest).Finally, the level of unpalatability in Eudaminae is size dependent, larger butterflies are less palatable, perhaps due to their more likely detectability/preference by predators. Altogether, our findings shed light on the contexts favouring the prevalence of single vs. multiple defensive strategies in prey.

Systematics of the Neotropical butterfly genus Paryphthimoides Forster, 1964 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae), with descriptions of seven new taxa

et al. 2020

A systematic revision of Paryphthimoides, a satyrine genus widely distributed in Central and South America, is presented based on an integrative approach. Molecular phylogeny inferred using multiple methods with nuclear (GAPDH, RpS5) and mitochondrial (COI) genes indicates that Paryphthimoides, as currently circumscribed, is polyphyletic. A new taxonomic arrangement is proposed reflecting the monophyly based on molecular and morphological evidence. Paryphthimoides now comprises 14 taxa, namely: P. poltys poltys (Prittwitz, 1865), P. poltys numilia (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867) stat. nov., P. vestigiata (Butler, 1867), P. fridae Zacca, Casagrande, Huertas & Nakahara sp. nov., P. jorupe Zacca, Casagrande, Checa & Willmott sp. nov., P. terrestris terrestris (Butler, 1867) comb. nov., P. terrestris muyrakytan Zacca, Casagrande & Mielke ssp. nov., P. terrestris araguaianus Zacca, Casagrande & Mielke ssp. nov., P. terrestris grevei Zacca, Casagrande & Mielke ssp. nov., P. touloulou (Benmesbah, 2015) comb. nov., P. brixius brixius (Godart, [1824]) comb. nov., P. brixius madre Zacca, Mielke, Casagrande & Lamas ssp. nov., P. brixius rouranensis Brévignon ssp. nov. and P. flavofascia (Zacca & Siewert, 2014) comb. nov. Euptychia zeredatha Butler, 1869 and P. bahneri Anken, 1994 are new synonyms of P. p. poltys, and Euptychia binalinea Butler, 1867 and E. poltys bahiana Bryk, 1953 are new synonyms of P. poltys numilia. Lectotypes are designated for Euptychia zeredatha, Neonympha numilia, Euptychia vestigiata, Euptychia terrestris and Euptychia brixiola, Butler, 1867 and a neotype is designated for Satyrus brixius. In addition, female morphology is described for the first time for all available species, and biological data and distributional maps are provided for all species. Last instar and pupae of Paryphthimoides p. poltys are also described.
