Eumaeini
The Eumaeini are a tribe of gossamer-winged butterflies (family Lycaenidae). They are typically placed in the subfamily Theclinae, but sometimes considered a separate subfamily Eumaeinae. Over 1,000 species are found in the Neotropical realm Systematics As not all Theclinae have been assigned to tribes, the genus list is preliminary. However, much progress has been made in sorting out the profusion of synonymous taxa, and at least some degree of stability has been achieved in the early years of the 21st century. While there is no good phylogenetic hypothesis yet for the subfamily, groups of at least apparently related genera have been delimited. They are sometimes called "sections", but do not correspond to the taxonomic rank of section (the section in which the gossamer-winged butterflies are placed is the Cossina); if validated as clades and assigned taxonomic rank, they would qualify as subtribes.See Brower (2008) and the references in Savela (2008) There is still much work ...

Lamasina
''Lamasina'' is a genus of gossamer-winged butterflies (family Lycaenidae); the validity of its name is subject to dispute. Among its family, these sexually dimorphic Lepidoptera belong to the tribe Eumaeini of the subfamily Theclinae. ''Lamasina'' species are found mainly in northern South America, approximately to the Guyanas. '' L. draudti'' is also found in Central America south of the Yucatán Peninsula. In the Andes, the genus extends somewhat further south; '' L. rhaptissima'' almost reaches Bolivia.Robbins & Lamas (2008), and see references in Savela (2011) The genus name has changed two times since the year 2000 for technical reasons. The question of which name is correct is not yet fully resolved, though ''Lamasina'' seems to be preferred.Robbins & Lamas (2008) Description They show some similarity to '' Evenus'' (probably a close relative) and '' Paiwarria'' (probably a slightly more distinct member of the Eumaeini). But whether ''Lamasina'' is in fact a close relativ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Enos (butterfly)
''Enos'' is a genus of gossamer-winged butterflies (family Lycaenidae). Among these, it belongs belong to the tribe Eumaeini of the subfamily Theclinae. These small butterflies occur essentially all over the Neotropics. This genus has a somewhat convoluted nomenclatorial and taxonomic history. It was established only fairly recently, but most of its members were in fact already known to the 19th century researcher William Chapman Hewitson. Hewitson did not yet recognize their distinctness though, and included them in his "wastebin genus" ''Thecla''. However, the two genera are not particularly close relatives among their subfamily. Classification The genus was established within months by different team of authors; as usual in such cases, the junior synonym ''Falerinota'' was abolished in favor of the older name ''Enos''. Its known species are, as of 2011:Wikispecies 2012-APR-01, and see references in Savela (2011) * ''Enos falerina'' (Hewitson, 1867) * ''Enos mazurka'' (Hewitso ...

Callophrys
The genus ''Callophrys'' consists of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It is apparently not monophyletic, but which of the taxa currently considered junior synonyms of ''Callophrys'' are valid genera remains to be determined. The Asian and European members of this genus and some North American species are commonly known as green hairstreaks, and the North American species in the subgenus ''Incisalia'' are called elfins.

Theclinae
The subfamily Theclinae is a group of butterflies, often referred to as hairstreaks, with some species instead known as elfins or by other names. The group is part of the family Lycaenidae, the "gossamer-winged butterflies". There are many tropical species as well as a number found in the Americas. Tropical hairstreaks often have iridescent blue coloration above, caused by reflected light from the structure of the wing scales rather than by pigment. Hairstreaks from North America are commonly brown above. Few Theclinae are migratory. Members of this group are described as 'thecline'. Systematics The systematics and phylogeny of the numerous Theclinae has not reached a robust consensus yet. The arrangement presented here is based on Savela (2007), but be aware that it is probably oversplit and several tribes may not be valid. Nonetheless, the tribes as listed here generally seem to represent monophyletic lineages, but whether this is indeed so and whether these are distinct enoug ...

Neotropical Realm
The Neotropical realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms constituting Earth's land surface. Physically, it includes the tropical terrestrial ecoregions of the Americas and the entire South American temperate zone. Definition In biogeography, the Neotropic or Neotropical realm is one of the eight terrestrial realms. This realm includes South America, Central America, the Caribbean islands, and southern North America. In Mexico, the Yucatán Peninsula and southern lowlands, and most of the east and west coastlines, including the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula are Neotropical. In the United States southern Florida and coastal Central Florida are considered Neotropical. The realm also includes temperate southern South America. In contrast, the Neotropical Floristic Kingdom excludes southernmost South America, which instead is placed in the Antarctic kingdom. The Neotropic is delimited by similarities in fauna or flora. Its fauna and flora are distinct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
