“…We are aware of the limitations of mitochondrial data for answering questions about evolution, but our results are probably meaningful since they are concordant with geography. Also, our findings are similar to the findings of Michel et al (2008), who, however, worked on the specific level, whereas we focused more deeply on the populations.…”

“…Almost every known population has been described as a standalone subspecies, making one wonder whether this is a case of taxonomic inflation, similar to what is seen in other species of the genus Parnassius (Rose 1995). The species belongs, according to Bryk (1935), Korshunov (1988Korshunov ( , 1990, Korb (2012) and many other authors, to the genus Koramius, subgenus Kailasius together with K. autocrator (Avinov, 1910), K. inopinatus (Kotzsch, 1940), K. davydovi (Churkin, 2006), and K. loxias (Püngeler, 1901) (Omoto et al 2004;Michel et al 2008;Condamine et al 2012;Korb 2012). All of them are distributed in the area of Central Asian mountains.…”

“…Finally, the mountains were essential for the ancestral distribution of many species now occurring further north (e.g., Kleckova et al 2015) and also played an important role as refugia for northern species during glacial periods (Zhang et al 2013). Michel et al (2008) documented in several species of the genus Koramius that the mitochondrial lineages show a geographically structured latitudinal pattern.…”

“…The species is distributed also in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tibet and India; however, it is not easy to get fresh material from these countries. We did use several samples from these locations to see how they are connected to our delimited area and we included samples of K. charltonius from GenBank (mainly from publications of Omoto et al 2004;Katoh et al 2005;Michel et al 2008;Churkin and Michel 2014; Tables 2, 3) and also other taxa as outgroups and for calibration points (Hypermnestra helios (Nickerl, 1846), Koramius stoliczkanus (Felder & Felder, 1865), K. acdestis (Grum-Grshimailo, 1891), K. augustus (Fruhstorfer, 1903), K. imperator (Oberthür, 1883), K. inopinatus (Kotzsch, 1940), K. autocrator (Avinov, 1913), K. loxias (Püngeler, 1901)) (Table 4). To overcome the problem with potentially incorrect collecting information for the taxonomic part of our work, in cases of uncertainty we restricted our data to the type material and we omitted material from GenBank.…”

“…They also found that the Parnassius ancestor originated in the Iranian Plateau and Central Asia. Michel et al (2008) placed Baronia Salvin, 1893 into Parnassiinae and divided Parnassius into eight subgenera; the same division (but without placing Baronia inside Parnassiinae) was made by Omoto et al (2008). Korb (2012) divided Parnassius into six genera based on male genitalia, host plants, and molecular data.…”

Abstract. Koramius charltonius (Gray, 1853) (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) is distributed in the mountains of Central Asia. We analysed genetic and phylogeographic patterns throughout the western part of its range using a mitochondrial marker (COI). We also analysed the wing pattern using multivariate statistics. We found that the species contains several unique haplotypes in the west and shared haplotypes in the east. The haplotype groups do not correspond to the wing pattern and also the described subspecies do not correspond to either the haplotypes or the groups circumscribed by the wing pattern. Currently, there are more than ten subspecies of K. charltonius in Central Asia; based on our analyses we suggest a reduction to only five of them.

Occurrence of Sarmentosin and Other Hydroxynitrile Glucosides in Parnassius (Papilionidae) Butterflies and Their Food Plants

Sequestration of plant secondary metabolites is a widespread phenomenon among aposematic insects. Sarmentosin is an unsaturated γ-hydroxynitrile glucoside known from plants and some Lepidoptera. It is structurally and biosynthetically closely related to cyanogenic glucosides, which are commonly sequestered from food plants and/or de novo synthesized by lepidopteran species. Sarmentosin was found previously in Parnassius (Papilionidae) butterflies, but it was not known how the occurrence was related to food plants or whether Parnassius species could biosynthesize the compound. Here, we report on the occurrence of sarmentosin and related compounds in four different Parnassius species belonging to two different clades, as well as their known and suspected food plants. There were dramatic differences between the two clades, with P. apollo and P. smintheus from the Apollo group containing high amounts of sarmentosin, and P. clodius and P. mnemosyne from the Mnemosyne group containing low or no detectable amounts. This was reflected in the larval food plants; P. apollo and P. smintheus larvae feed on Sedum species (Crassulaceae), which all contained considerable amounts of sarmentosin, while the known food plants of the two other species, Dicentra and Corydalis (Fumariaceae), had no detectable levels of sarmentosin. All insects and plants containing sarmentosin also contained other biosynthetically related hydroxynitrile glucosides in patterns previously reported for plants, but not for insects. Not all findings could be explained by sequestration alone and we therefore hypothesize that Parnassius species are able to de novo synthesize sarmentosin.
