“…In summary, we take a conservative approach here and do not recognize serpa ‐1 and serpa ‐2 as distinct species. Differences between serpa ‐1 and serpa ‐2 in morphology and mtDNA are much weaker than other species‐level differences in Adelpha analysed here and in other work (Willmott & Hall, 2013), as well as compared with recent work on other Neotropical butterflies (Dasmahapatra et al, 2010; Dias et al, 2018; Hajibabaei et al, 2006; Hebert et al, 2004; Hill et al, 2012; Janzen et al, 2017; Nakahara et al, 2021, 2022; Rosser et al, 2018; Willmott et al, 2017). The small morphological differences and shallow mtDNA differences found here do not completely rule out serpa ‐1 and serpa ‐2 being species, but there are other possible explanations for the patterns observed here.…”

Patterns of larval food plant use and immature stage morphology help clarify Neotropical butterfly species diversity, and, in many cases, lineages identified with molecular data are corroborated by morphology and ecology of immature stages. Here, we investigate cryptic species in Adelpha butterflies (Nymphalidae), a group known for challenging adult wing similarity coupled with mimicry, and for its remarkably wide larval food plant breadth. We focus on the Adelpha serpa‐group and in particular Adelpha serpa celerio, whose immatures have been documented feeding on 11 plant families. Our analyses of A. serpa, and among serpa‐group species across the Neotropics, revealed evidence of cryptic species, but the pattern within A. serpa celerio showed relatively weak mtDNA and morphological differences, and no differentiation in food plant use. We conclude that A. serpa should be revised and recognize A. serpa to include the nominate subspecies and recognize A. celerio (revised status) as a geographically widespread species and a larval food plant generalist that contains A. c. celerio (revised status), A. c. duiliae (revised status) and A. c. diadochus (revised status). Four additional species within the serpa‐group show strong evidence of harbouring allopatric cryptic species, and further research should be done to clarify their species limits.

“…Multiple recent papers have helped revise the generic classification and describe new species (Matos‐Maraví et al, 2013; Siewert et al, 2013 [covering species included here in Taguaiba gen.n. ]; Freitas, Barbosa, Willmott, et al, 2016 [ Sepona ]; Nakahara, Willmott, et al, 2018 [ Orotaygetis ], Nakahara, Matos‐Maraví, et al, 2019 [ Taygetina ], Nakahara, Matos‐Maraví, Willmott, et al, 2021; Nakahara, Matos‐Maraví, Schwartz, et al, 2021; Nakahara, Janzen, et al, 2022 [ Pseudodebis ]). The relationships found here are similar to previous studies, with Sepona being the sister group to the remainder of the clade in all trees, and the remaining genera falling into two well‐supported subclades; the Forsterinaria subclade including Forsterinaria , Paratygetis , Posttaygetis and Harjesia , and the Taygetis subclade containing the remaining genera (Matos‐Maraví et al, 2013; Nakahara, Willmott, et al, 2018).…”

“…Recent unexpected discoveries of cryptic species in genera such as Zischkaia and Pseudodebis (e.g. Nakahara, Matos‐Maraví, Willmott, et al, 2021; Nakahara, Zacca, et al, 2019) suggest that additional species await discovery, even among groups that appear to be taxonomically straightforward. Furthermore, a number of cases of COI barcode ‘splits’ where corresponding morphological characters have yet to be identified may also represent unrecognized species (e.g.…”

The diverse, largely Neotropical subtribe Euptychiina is widely regarded as one of the most taxonomically challenging groups among all butterflies. Over the last two decades, morphological and molecular studies have revealed widespread paraphyly and polyphyly among genera, and a comprehensive, robust phylogenetic hypothesis is needed to build a firm generic classification to support ongoing taxonomic revisions at the species level. Here, we generated a dataset that includes sequences for up to nine nuclear genes and the mitochondrial COI ‘barcode’ for a total of 1280 specimens representing 449 described and undescribed species of Euptychiina and 39 out‐groups, resulting in the most complete phylogeny for the subtribe to date. In combination with a recently developed genomic backbone tree, this dataset resulted in a topology with strong support for most branches. We recognize eight major clades that each contain two or more genera, together containing all but seven Euptychiina genera. We provide a summary of the taxonomy, diversity and natural history of each clade, and discuss taxonomic changes implied by the phylogenetic results. We describe nine new genera to accommodate 38 described species: Lazulina Willmott, Nakahara & Espeland, gen.n., Saurona Huertas & Willmott, gen.n., Argentaria Huertas & Willmott, gen.n., Taguaiba Freitas, Zacca & Siewert, gen.n., Xenovena Marín & Nakahara, gen.n., Deltaya Willmott, Nakahara & Espeland, gen.n., Modica Zacca, Casagrande & Willmott, gen.n., Occulta Nakahara & Willmott, gen.n., and Trico Nakahara & Espeland, gen.n. We also synonymize Nubila Viloria, Andrade & Henao, 2019 (syn.n.) with Splendeuptychia Forster, 1964, Macrocissia Viloria, Le Crom & Andrade, 2019 (syn.n.) with Satyrotaygetis Forster, 1964, and Rudyphthimoides Viloria, 2022 (syn.n.) with Malaveria Viloria & Benmesbah, 2020. Overall, we revised the generic placement of 79 species (74 new generic combinations and five revised combinations), and as a result all but six described species of Euptychiina are accommodated within 70 named, monophyletic genera. For all newly described genera, we provide illustrations of representative species, drawings of wing venation and male and (where possible) female genitalia, and distribution maps, and summarize the natural history of the genus. For three new monotypic genera, Occulta gen.n., Trico gen.n. and Xenovena gen.n. we provide a taxonomic revision with a review of the taxonomy of each species and data from examined specimens. We provide a revised synonymic list for Euptychiina containing 460 valid described species, 53 subspecies and 255 synonyms, including several new synonyms and reinstated species.

“…There are many unexplored families, not only of tiny, inconspicuous moths but also of eye-catching and colourful butterflies, and several new taxa have been recently described from the area e.g. in Cossidae (Yakovlev and Witt 2017), Lecithoceridae (Park et al 2019), Lycaenidae (Sáfián and Collins 2022) and Nymphalidae (Nakahara et al 2022).…”

The subgenus Parapisa of the genus Apisa is reviewed based on the examination of 104 specimens. Apisa (P.) cinereocostata and A. (P.) subargentea are redescribed and their intraspecific variation is analysed in detail. A new species A. (P.) asipa, similar in the general coloration to other Apisa taxa, but very distinctive in the male genital morphology and the shape of the wing scales, is described from Cameroon and Nigeria. Apisa (P.) cinereocostata is hypothesized to be a widespread, but highly polymorphic taxon with significant variation in body size, intensity of grey coloration, and the proportions and shape of certain morphostructures of male genitalia. Determination keys and extensive illustrations of the variation are provided to enable proper identification of specimens.
