Molecular phylogeny and generic‐level taxonomy of the widespread palaeotropical ‘Heteropsis clade’ (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae: Mycalesina)

Abstract: The mycalesine butterfly genus Heteropsis Westwood, 1850 (Satyrinae: Mycalesina) has recently been conceived to be represented in three major palaeotropical regions (Madagascar, Africa and Asia), but there has been no formal taxonomic treatment covering this entire group. Studies aimed at understanding the evolutionary success of Mycalesina in the Old World tropics have been hampered by the lack of both a robust phylogeny and a stable nomenclature for this satyrine subtribe. Here, we present a well‐supported m… Show more

“…Using a phylogenetic tree reconstructed from a five‐gene matrix of sequences used in previous species‐level phylogenetic studies (Aduse‐Poku, Brakefield, Wahlberg, & Brattström, ; Aduse‐Poku et al., , ; Monteiro & Pierce, ; Van Velzen, Wahlberg, Sosef, & Bakker, ), a statistically independent set of contrast values (see Felsenstein, ; for details of this method) were computed for each measured morphological trait and squared root‐transformed species abundance. This method, referred to as phylogenetic independent contrast (PIC), removes the inherent phylogenetic signals in the dataset (Felsenstein, ).…”

“…Moreover, reconstructions of ancestral sequences were conducted to support homology and differentiate between apomorphic and plesiomorphic character states. However, we are aware that the description of taxa based on molecular data might contain errors in the form of incorrectly assumed apomorphies, especially in the context of incompletely sampled lineages (Jörger & Schrödl, 2013), but we believe that the combination of morphological and molecular diagnostic characters provides a strongly supported taxonomic framework for future studies (e.g., see Kadereit & al., 2012;Ornelas-Gatdula & al., 2012;Aduse-Poku & al., 2016).…”
