Phylogeny of Dasyophthalma butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Brassolini)

This study provides a species-level phylogeny and morphological characterization for the Neotropical brassoline genus Dasyophthalma Westwood, 1851. A revised generic definition is given, and two species groups are proposed. Diagnoses and illustrations of habitus and genitalia are provided for all species. Wing color, male scent organs, and male and female genitalic morphology are characterized and discussed

Lemoniini

32 p. : ill. ; 26 cm.Includes bibliographical references (p. 25-26)."A cladistic analysis of 97 characters taken from adult morphology was used to assess the higher-level phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Lemoniini (sensu Harvey, 1987). Many of our characters are described and illustrated in detail to assist future work in riodinid systematics. To evaluate the monophyly of Lemoniini, representative species of five genera in the putative sister tribe Nymphidiini were included in the analysis. Our results indicated that the Lemoniini was not monophyletic, and that some Nymphidiini grouped within Lemoniini. As this study provided no support for maintaining Lemoniini and Nymphidiini as separate taxa, we propose the amalgamation of these two tribes. Our analysis also suggested that not all genera currently placed in Lemoniini are monophyletic"--P. [1]

Dasyophthalma geraensis Rebel 1922

Dasyophthalma geraensis Rebel, 1922 (Fig. 1G, 3G) Type locality. Brazil, Minas Gerais, Passa Quatro. Diagnosis. Transverse postmedial bands of same color on FW and HW, both homogeneously yellow. FW and HW blue iridescence patches smaller than in D. rusina. HW medial band slightly broader than in D. rusina and clearly extended to the anal margin. Male genitalia indistinguishable from D. rusina. Distribution. Brazil, Minas Gerais (Mantiqueira mountain range), Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo (Casagrande 2004, A.V.L. Freitas pers. comm., Appendix 1). Remarks. d’Araújo e Silva (1968) reported “uricana” (Bactris tormentosa, Arecaceae) as host plant. This taxon was originally described as a subspecies of D. rusina by Rebel (1922), who considered it a ‘local form’ worthy of a name. The male genitalia are identical to those of D. rusina. Females were not available for examination in the collections that were used in this study (Appendix 1). This species higher elevation forests (~ 1200 m) and it is currently listed as endangered in the Lista Oficial da Fauna Brasileira ameaçada de extinção (http://www.biodiversitas.org.br/f_ameaca/p_fauna.asp, consulted on 26 January, 2009).Published as part of Penz, Carla Maria, 2009, Phylogeny of Dasyophthalma butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Brassolini), pp. 1-12 in Insecta Mundi 2009 (69) on page 6, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.540500
