“…The only specimens of C . calida that Rothschild & Jordan [8] listed as being in the Tring Museum at that time were “1 ♂ and 1 ♀ (type) in the Tring Museum, the ♀from Mauna Kea”. As implied by Rothschild & Jordan, the ♂ lacks a data label.…”

“…The diagnostic characters were given as: “Antennae very long and very stout in ♂; forewings very dark; hindwings deep orange, with dark border reaching to margin”. Given the closeness of the publication dates, it was perhaps inevitable that Hawaiina would be overlooked by Rothschild & Jordan [8], but it less clear why the name was not then later noted by either Rothschild & Jordan [10] or Swezey [14]. Eventually, Swezey [15] drew attention to Hawaiina (misspelling it as “ Hawaiiana ”) but only explicitly transferred Deilephila wilsoni , although he did also mention the other two Hawaiian species (and so the transfer of Deilephila calida , the type species, back to Hawaiina , was implicit).…”

Analysing historic DNA from museum specimens offers the unique opportunity to study the molecular systematics and phylogenetics of rare and possibly extinct taxa. In the Hawaiian fauna, the hawkmoth, Hyles calida calida, occurs on several of the main islands and is quite frequent, whereas Hyles c. hawaiiensis is restricted to the Island of Hawaii where it appears to be very rare. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences shows that Hyles c. hawaiiensis differs from the nominotypical subspecies by an average p-distance of 2.8%, which is of a similar order of magnitude to that found between other species of Hyles, suggesting that Hyles c. hawaiiensis should perhaps be awarded species status, although more data are required for a formal taxonomic revision. Given the rarity of this taxon, these analyses should be undertaken urgently so that conservation measures can be implemented before it becomes extinct.

“…Later, Rothschild (1894a) described Callioma drucei, based on samples collected from River Demerara in erstwhile British Guiana. In a review of Sphingidae, Rothschild and Jordan (1903) found that the species proposed by Rothschild (1894a) was the same as that of Möschler (1876), and thus, considered Callioma drucei as the junior synonym of Chaerocampa ploetzi, and at the same time, transferred the species to the genus Xylophanes Hübner, [1819].…”

Morphological diversity and altitudinal differentiation of Aethopyga species

The morphological characteristics of birds are an important tool for studying their adaptation and evolution. The morphological evolution of a clade is not only constrained by the phylogenetic relationship, but also influenced by ecological factors and interspecific competition. Aethopyga is a group of small nectar‐eating birds with obvious sexual dimorphism. They have slender and decurved beaks, which reflect their unique diet and foraging mode. Traditional and geometric morphometrics were combined to characterize the body morphology and beak shape of six species of Aethopyga distributed in China. We aim to assess the roles of phylogeny, altitude, and species interactions to morphological evolution. The main distinguishing characteristic among these six species were overall body size, the ratio of body weight, culmen and tarsal length to body length, tail length and wing length, and beak shape (slender/straight vs. thick/decurved). Although these dimensions cannot distinguish all species, they can show a clear distribution trend, and there is a significant Mahalanobis distance between each pair of species. There were no significant phylogenetic signals in morphological traits. The results of PGLS analysis show that altitude is significantly correlated with log‐transformed tarsus length and beak‐shaped PC1 (slender/straight vs thick/decurved dimensions) across the six species analyzed. Mantel test shows that the distance matrix of beak morphological characteristics showed a significant correlation with the altitudinal distance matrix. The results indicated no significant phylogenetic signal in the morphological characteristics of six species. In terms of beak shape, species with greater overlap in elevation distribution have more similar morphological characteristics, that is, less morphological differentiation.
