“…Moreover, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, attempts to crossbreed different species were very common, as well as experiments on the impact of temperature and other indices on the colour pattern of butterfly wings [ 49 ]. The 19th century was also a time of commonly operating entomological traders [ 50 , 51 ]. The owners of entomological companies, directing their offers to collectors, made the price lists more attractive for marketing and commercial purposes, artificially creating irrelevant names from a taxonomic point-of-view.…”

The Old World swallowtail Papilio machaon Linnaeus, 1758 is one of the most well-known and most characteristic members of the family Papilionidae. Over the past two centuries, the butterfly has been the subject of many studies. P. machaon is characterised by a tendency to change the wing colour pattern. In turn, due to the great interest of collectors and amateur entomologists, these studies have been converted into the description of over 100 colour forms, aberrations and subspecies. In this study, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), 16S rDNA and cytochrome b sequences were used to examine the correlation between the intraspecific classification and genetic structure of P. machaon. The study used 87 specimens from 59 different localities covering the geographic distribution of this species in the palaearctic. The phylogenetic relationships within and between the Old World swallowtail subspecies showed that the intraspecific classification proposed by various authors does not correlate with the variability in mitochondrial DNA sequences. In addition, populations occurring at the species distribution borders in the palaearctic region (i.e., Japan, Kamchatka, Morocco and Sakhalin) are genetically distinct from other species.

“…Los museos y colecciones biológicas juegan un rol importante como depósitos de biodiversidad (Burrell et al, 2015;Domagała & Dobosz, 2019;González & Domagala, 2021). Con el paso del tiempo, la información registrada en las etiquetas de colección puede brindar valiosos datos sobre el clima, eventos históricos, cambios genéticos, relaciones inter e intraespecíficas, e incluso cambios en los hábitats y ecosistemas (Suárez & Tsusui, 2004;Winker, 2004;Hartley et al, 2006;Bi et al, 2013;Domagała & Dobosz, 2019).…”

Se estudió el material de polillas de la familia Notodontidae (Lepidoptera) depositado en la Colección Taxonómica Nacional de Insectos “Luis María Murillo” (CTNI). Se encontraron 202 especímenes pertenecientes a 50 especies, 33 géneros y siete subfamilias. Dos de las especies son endémicas de Colombia y 20 se registran por primera vez para el país. La subfamilia Heterocampinae y el género Hemiceras presentaron el mayor número de especies, con 19 y 10 especies, respectivamente. Adicionalmente, se reportan seis nuevas plantas hospederas para la familia en el país.

“…Examination of rich collections of Castniidae and other insect groups in several Polish museums (González et al 2013a, b;Domagała et al 2015Domagała et al , 2017aDomagała and Dobosz 2019) led the authors to continue the exploration of such ever-surprising depositories. The role of museums as important repositories of biodiversity has been stressed on many occasions (e.g., Burrell et al 2015;Domagała and Dobosz 2019).…”
