Taxonomy And Distribution Of Butterflies (Papilionoidea) Of The Skardu Region, Pakistan, Muhammad Abbas, Muhammad Ather Rafi, Mian Inayatullah, Muhammad Rafique Khan, Harry Pavulaan

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

A study was conducted in six different localities around Skardu, Pakistan to document the butterfly fauna of that region. The study revealed that 16 species in 5 families and 14 genera occur in the area. The families include: Papilionidae (represented only by the genus Parnassius); Pieridae (genera Pieris, Pontia, and Colias are represented); Lycaenidae (genera Lycaena, Everes, Aricia, Plebejus, Zizeeria, and Zizina are represented); Nymphalidae (only two genera, Aglais and Cynthia are represented); and Satyridae (represented by the genera Pararge and Maniola).


A Review Of Poanes Hobomok (Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae), With The Description Of A New Subspecies From The Southern Appalachians, Ronald R. Gatrelle Nov 2002

A Review Of Poanes Hobomok (Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae), With The Description Of A New Subspecies From The Southern Appalachians, Ronald R. Gatrelle

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

Poanes hobomok monofacies is described from the southern limits of the Appalachian Mountains in western North Carolina, northern Georgia and eastern Tennessee, United States. The type locality is Chestnut Mountain, 3,400’, Macon County, North Carolina, United States. This new subspecies is characterized by the similarity of males and females and overall much darker and subdued marking when compared to both P. h. hobomok (eastern to mid-, northern United States and eastern to mid-, southern Canada) and P. h. wetona (Colorado and New Mexico, United States). The northern and western range of this new taxon and the …


Pterourus Appalachiensis (Papilionidae: Papilioninae), A New Swallowtail Butterfly From The Appalachian Region Of The United States, Harry Pavulaan, David M. Wright Jun 2002

Pterourus Appalachiensis (Papilionidae: Papilioninae), A New Swallowtail Butterfly From The Appalachian Region Of The United States, Harry Pavulaan, David M. Wright

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

A new univoltine species of Tiger Swallowtail, Pterourus appalachiensis, is described from the southern Appalachian Mountain region of the eastern United States. This distinct swallowtail has remained unrecognized by lepidopterists since the description of its sympatric congener Pterourus glaucus (Linnaeus) in 1758. Historical accounts of Tiger Swallowtails from this region pertain specifically to glaucus and cannot be attributed to this new species. Morphology, voltinism, phenology, distribution, and behavioral traits indicate species level status of appalachiensis. Although appalachiensis shares several phenotypic characters with the recently elevated species canadensis (Rothschild & Jordan), preliminary mitochondrial DNA analysis indicates that appalachiensis is …


Name-Bearing Types And Taxonomic Synopsis Of Three Lycaenid Butterfly Taxa From Western Canada (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), Norbert G. Kondla, Crispin S. Guppy May 2002

Name-Bearing Types And Taxonomic Synopsis Of Three Lycaenid Butterfly Taxa From Western Canada (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), Norbert G. Kondla, Crispin S. Guppy

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

We clarify which of two designated lectotypes of Chrysophanus florus Edwards, 1884 is valid. We also show that the putative holotype of Plebeius saepiolus insulanus Blackmore, 1920 is actually a lectotype. A valid neotype designation for Lycaena saepiolus amica Edwards, 1863 is provided. Publication dates are corrected and we also briefly review the various taxonomic interpretations and distributions that appear in the literature with respect to these taxa.

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

This report describes Missouri River activities and results related to a channelized Missouri River creel survey conducted from 31 March through 12 October 2001. This is the second of a planned annual creel survey to be conducted on alternating sections of the channelized Missouri River to measure changes in recreational fishing activity, especially those changes due to large scale habitat restoration efforts. Future reports will contain additional analyses of these data. Anglers spent over 22,000 hours fishing the Missouri River from Camp Creek (rkm 883.5) to the Kansas state line (rkm 790.2) during the survey period. Effort peaked during the …
