Genomics‐based higher classification of the species‐rich hairstreaks (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Eumaeini)

et al.

Abstract: We propose a higher classification of the lycaenid hairstreak tribe Eumaeinione of the youngest and most species-rich butterfly tribesbased on autosome, Lepidopteran Z sex chromosome and mitochondrial protein-coding genes. The subtribe Neolycaenina Korb is a synonym of Callophryidina Tutt and subtribe Tmolusina Bálint is a synonym of Strephonotina

“…Edwards, 1862) (Brock & Kaufmann 2003, Shirey et al 2022). Recent genomic research has shown P. m-album and E. laeta are closely related species (Robbins et al 2022). We encourage naturalists to look more carefully at hazelnut catkins for hairstreak caterpillars and catkins in general for other species of Lepidoptera.…”

Lepidoptera and their associated host plants have long been studied to gain insight into their coevolutionary arms race and adaptive radiations through time (Fordyce 2010, Hardy & Otto 2014, Edger et al. 2015). Butterflies, in particular, are among the most commonly studied insect taxa in the world based on their charismatic beauty, relative ease to identify, and importance to ecosystem services such as pollination, herbivory, and prey animals (Cech and Tudor 2005, Andrew et al. 2012). Here, we present observational evidence of a new host plant for the white-m hairstreak, Parrhasius malbum (Boisduval & Le Conte, [1833]). This hairstreak is found along the East Coast from Vermont to Florida, west to Minnesota, south to Texas, and east along the Gulf Coast (Brock & Kaufmann 2003, Bugguide 2023). Its recorded host plants are mostly oaks (Quercus spp.), with a single record of basswood (Tilia sp.) (Iftner et

Genomic sequencing and analysis of holotypes from the MIZA collection (Maracay, Venezuela) and their comparison with other species and their type specimens advances our understanding of their taxonomy. Jemadia demarmelsi Orellana, [2010] is confirmed as a species-level taxon and its female is genetically verified. The following are species-level taxa, not subspecies: Amenis pedro O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2022, stat. nov. (not Amenis pionia (Hewitson, 1857)) and Jemasonia sosia (Mabille, 1878), stat. rest. (not Jemasonia hewitsonii (Mabille, 1878)). Amenis ponina rogeri Orellana, [2010], stat. nov. and Jemasonia pater ortizi (Orellana, [2010]), stat. nov. are subspecies, not species. Jemadia pseudognetus imitator (Mabille, 1891), comb. nov. (not Jemadia hospita (Butler, 1877)) and Damas cervelina Orellana & Costa, 2019, comb. nov. (not Megaleas Godman, 1901) are new combinations.

Iguaçu National Park is the second largest (1852.62 km²) protected area in the Atlantic Forest domain and harbors the largest area of semideciduous seasonal forest in Brazil. In this study, we present 795 subspecies and 787 species of butterflies that occur in this protected area and its surrounding areas, collected over 15 years and ten months using different non-standardized sampling methods. We also searched for additional records in the literature, entomological collections, and citizen science platforms on the internet. Among the sampled taxa, six are recorded for the first time in Brazil: Emesis orichalceus Stichel, 1916, Theope p. pakitzaHall & Harvey, 1998 (Riodinidae), Elbella v. viriditas (Skinner, 1920), Apaustus gracilis ssp. n. (Hesperiidae), Deltaya sp. n. (Nymphalidae), and Symbiopsis sp. n. (Lycaenidae). Another six are listed as endangered in lists of butterflies of conservation concern. The records for some species significantly increase previously documented distributions.
