''Fountainea'' is a genus of Neotropical leaf butterflies. Their wing undersides usually mimic dead leaves. This genus honours Margaret Fountaine, a renowned entomologist. Species There are eight species in the genus: * '' Fountainea centaurus'' (Felder & Felder, 1867) * '' Fountainea eurypyle'' (C. & R. Felder, 1862) – pointed leafwing * '' Fountainea glycerium'' (Doubleday, 1849) – angled leafwing * '' Fountainea halice'' (Godart, 1824) – ruddy leafwing * '' Fountainea nessus'' (Latreille, 1813) – superb leafwing * '' Fountainea nobilis'' (Bates, 1864) – noble leafwing * '' Fountainea ryphea'' (Cramer, 1775) – flamingo leafwing * '' Fountainea sosippus'' (Hopffer, 1874) References "''Fountainea'' Rydon, 1971"at Markku Savela's ''Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms'' Biolib*Rydon, A.H.B. 1971.

Fountainea Nobilis
''Fountainea nobilis'', the noble leafwing, is a species of Neotropical butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae, Charaxinae subfamily. Description ''Fountainea nobilis'' is a quite rare "leaf butterfly". The dorsal sides of the upperwings are reddish with dark brown edges. In the females the dorsal sides are usually brown, with clearer edges. On the hindwings there are a few small white and black eyespots. The undersides mimic dead leaves, ranging from pale brown to grey. Distribution ''Fountainea nobilis'' can be found from Southern Mexico (south-western Chiapas) to Colombia, Venezuela and Peru. Subspecies * ''F. n. nobilis'' - Guatemala * ''F. n. titan'' (C. & R. Felder, 867 - Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru * ''F. n. caudata'' (Röber, 1916) - Colombia * ''F. n. peralta'' (Hall, 1929) - Costa Rica * ''F. n. rayoensis'' (Maza & Díaz, 1978) - Mexico (Oaxaca) * ''F. n. romeroi'' (Descimon, 1988) – Venezuela [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Neotropical
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] |
Mimicry
In evolutionary biology, mimicry is an evolved resemblance between an organism and another object, often an organism of another species. Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals of the same species. Often, mimicry functions to protect a species from predators, making it an anti-predator adaptation. Mimicry evolves if a receiver (such as a predator) perceives the similarity between a mimic (the organism that has a resemblance) and a model (the organism it resembles) and as a result changes its behaviour in a way that provides a selective advantage to the mimic. The resemblances that evolve in mimicry can be visual, acoustic, chemical, tactile, or electric, or combinations of these sensory modalities. Mimicry may be to the advantage of both organisms that share a resemblance, in which case it is a form of mutualism; or mimicry can be to the detriment of one, making it parasitic or competitive. The evolutionary convergence between groups is driven by th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Margaret Fountaine
Margaret Elizabeth Fountaine (16 May 1862 – 21 April 1940), was a Victorian lepidopterist (a person interested in butterflies and moths), natural history illustrator, diarist, and traveller who published in The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation. She is also known for her personal diaries, which were edited into two volumes by W.F. Cater for the popular market and published posthumously. Fountaine was an accomplished natural history illustrator and had a great love and knowledge of butterflies, travelling and collecting extensively through Europe, South Africa, India, Tibet, America, Australia and the West Indies, publishing numerous papers on her work. She raised many of the butterflies from eggs or caterpillars, producing specimens of great quality, 22,000 of which are housed at the Norwich Castle Museum and known as the Fountaine-Neimy Collection. Her four sketch books of butterfly life-cycles are held at the Natural History Museum in London. The butterfly genus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
