Lepidoptera is one of the four megadiverse insect orders, comprising butterflies and moths. In Brazil, the bulk of knowledge about the butterfly fauna is restricted to some areas in the southeast of the country, with large gaps of knowledge in other areas. The state of Mato Grosso is one of the largest states in Brazil, and holds three of the main Brazilian biomes: Amazon rain forest, Cerrado and Pantanal. However, knowledge about Mato Grosso butterflies is fragmented and restricted to a few localities, and information is scattered in various sources. The aim of this study is to assemble the biodiversity information of the butterfly fauna of the state of Mato Grosso based on historical and recent literature data and collections carried out in the southwest of the state from 2007–2009. Records without precise locality data or taxonomic information were not included. Species identification was based on literature and comparison with specimens in collections; higher and species-level taxonomy were updated based on the Neotropical Checklist of Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea and recent phylogenetic and revisionary taxonomic works. In total, 901 species were recorded in 2,820 occurrence records. This represents 148 species of Hesperiidae, 29 Papilionidae, 28 Pieridae, 77 Lycaenidae, 238 Riodinidae, and 381 Nymphalidae. Of these, 207 species records are from the type specimens of species described in the state. Based on the results and literature records for other Brazilian states and biomes, probably the figures for Mato Grosso are underestimated, particularly in the families Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae and Riodinidae, in that order. Future collecting efforts should be directed towards certain areas of the state, especially in less sampled areas and biomes, as the north of the state and Pantanal.

Taxonomic revision of the Euploea alcathoe complex (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from Australia and New Guinea

et al. 2017

Euploea alcathoe (Godart, [1819]) (Danainae: Danaini) comprises a taxonomic complex, with recent authors recognising one or two species and numerous subspecies throughout its relatively small geographical range. We determined the taxonomic status of populations from northern Australia by integrating data from ecology, larval colour pattern and morphology, adult morphology (wing morphometrics, wing pattern elements and male genitalia) and molecules (mtDNA). We also investigated the broad distribution of phenotypes based on wing pattern maculation throughout mainland New Guinea and its adjacent islands. Available evidence indicates that Euploea eichhorni Staudinger, 1884, stat. rev. from northern Queensland is allopatric and phenotypically and genotypically distinct from E. alcathoe, with 11 phenotypic character state differences in larval pattern and morphology, adult wing pattern and male genitalia, as well as significant differences in wing shape and in frequency distribution of the number of white spots. Genetic data and divergence time estimates based on COI revealed that E. eichhorni and E. alcathoe are reciprocally monophyletic with a mean pairwise divergence of 0.9% and with E. eichhorni comprising only a single unique haplotype. Phylogeographic analysis suggests E. eichhorni diverged as a peripheral isolate from E. alcathoe, most likely during the Late Pleistocene. In the Wet Tropics of northern Queensland, larvae of E. eichhorni specialise on the vine Gymnanthera oblonga (Burm.f.) P.S. Green (Apocynaceae) growing in coastal, broadleaf paperbark swampland, a larval host plant also used by E. alcathoe. A lectotype male of E. eichhorni is designated, with Cooktown, Queensland as the type locality. Euploea alcathoe enastri Fenner, 1991, from the Northern Territory is maintained because it was found to be allopatric, phenotypically distinct, with at least one diagnosable character state (larger number of forewing subapical spots among males), and genetically divergent according to population genetic structure compared with Euploea alcathoe misenus from Torres Strait. Based on our review of E. alcathoe from New Guinea and Torres Strait, we found that populations from at least the southern coastline of New Guinea differed little phenotypically from E. alcathoe misenus; thus, we regard the subspecies Euploea aethiops monaeses Fruhstorfer, 1910, syn. nov. and E. alecto rothschildiana Hulstaert, 1923, syn. nov. as junior synonyms of E. alcathoe misenus Miskin, 1890.
