Re: Papuan Satyridae genitalia

Satyridae often have nearly no sexual dimorphism so it is not so easy.
I guess a DNA test or a genitalia preparation will be needed to be 100% sure.

It can work if you refresh the pages.
Our team is on it, but the software producer (Ilance) seems to have disappeared... so not easy...

Re: What do Hesperidologists dream of?
by Eleodes » Mon Dec 11, 2023 3:20 pm
Funny, I usually dream of small black or brown beetles when I dream of beetles. Interestingly, I recently dreamed of an immaculate specimen of an extremely rare butterfly stray to my area after coming across some in a museum. Unfortunately, in my dream I didn't have a net and it got scared off.

Papilio deiphobus Linnaeus, 1758
ssp. rumanzovia Eschscholtz, 1821 (TL.: Manilla)
= krusensternia Eschscholtz, 1821 (TL.: Manilla)
= floridor Godart, 1824 (TL.: Philippines)
= emalthion (Hübner, [1824]) (TL.: not stated)
= descombii Roger, 1826 (TL.: Philippines) [Unavailable name]
= descombesi Boisduval, 1836 (TL.: Manilles)

= ciris Fruhstorfer, 1909 (TL.: Bazilan; Mindoro)

♀-f. eubalia Jordan, 1909 (Siao)
f. ♀ paya Fruhstorfer, 1911 (Sangir)
f. ♀ risena Fruhstorfer, 1911 (Sangir)
f. ♀ carnia Fruhstorfer, 1911 (Sangir)
f. tekichanus Matsumura, 1931 (Formosa)
f. moscai Sala, 1992 (Cebu, Philippinas)
ssp. tarawakana (Page & Treadaway, 1996) (TL.: Tarawakan, Tawitawi)
ssp. deiphontes C. Felder & R. Felder, 1864 (TL.: Ternate, Halmaheira, Batjan)
= deiphontes Wallace, 1865 (TL.: Batchian, Gilolo, Ternate, Morty Isl.) [Junior Homonym]
var. flava Oberthür, 1879 (Ternate)
ssp. deipylus C. Felder & R. Felder, 1865 (TL.: Nova Guinea [loc. err. = Waigeo])

ssp. aristartus Fruhstorfer, 1916 (TL.: Holländisch Neu-Guinea)
ssp. efbensis Talbot, 1932 (TL.: Misol. foothills, 100-500 feet)
ssp. obideiphobus Hachitani, 1989 (TL.: Obi Is.)
ssp. deiphobus Linnaeus, 1758 (TL.: Asia [= Ambon])
= alcandor Cramer, 1776 (TL.: Isle d’Amboine)
ab. hypoxanthos Röber, 1891 (Key Islands)
hypoxanthus Rothschild, 1895 [Incorrect Subsequent Spelling]
Some subspecies have tails, others do not. There are not normally tailed and tailless forms of the same subspecies, unlike P. memnon, although it is possible that occasional specimens may vary. Ssp. deiphobus often has yellow spots instead of red, these were named 'form flava'.

No, a neotype designation is invalid if there is extant original type material. Pavulaan & Wright obviously did not see Honey & Scoble (2001).

A specimen of female Papilio deiphobus
by Leonard187 » Mon Dec 11, 2023 12:14 am
1. How many subspecies based on recent research?
2. I have seen several pictures of female specimens from different website and some of them are tailless (figure 3B) which is much different with this specimen. Are they different ssp.? or different form just like those of Papilio memnon?
3. I saw some male specimens with or without tails which signed as same ssp. (such as ssp.deiphontes from Sulawesi, figure 3C and 3D). So the male also has different form, or those should be different ssp. or just individual differences?
4. Most specimens have red patch on the ventral surface of hindwings, but someone has yellow patch (figure 3E-3H). Are they different form, or just individual differences due to the synthesis of pigments?
5. Due to ssp.rumanzovia is treated as one subspecies of P.deiphobus, what about its ssp.? Are they also treated as different ssp. of P.deiphobus equally?

Re: NY Man charged with smuggling birdwings

A little off topic. But an entomologist can catch 1000 insects quite easily in 1 single night catching!!! 1000 insects in a whole year is a huge loss for entomologists (not only in France). Fortunately, it is possible to increase this amount many times over. But it requires a bit of bureaucracy.wollastoni wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 8:49 am
I will give you an example from my country :
- a stupid law has been voted with a ban to collect more than 100 insects per year per person in French Guiana
- the French Lepidopterist Association and other important association made some meetings and wrote to FG authorities
- this law has been changed to 1000 specimens.
Without that move, all entomological lodges in FG would have disappeared and nobody would ever study FG butterflies anymore in the field.

Papilio “turnus”
by eurytides » Sun Dec 10, 2023 4:18 pm
“Turnus” is an old name associated with Papilio glaucus. When I look this up, I see references to Papilio turnus, Papilio glaucus turnus, and Papilio glaucus form turnus.
Does anyone know more about the usage of “turnus” or can provide the original description?

Papuan Satyridae genitalia
by wollastoni » Sat Dec 09, 2023 10:18 am
Can anyone confidently determine whether this Papuan Satyridae is male or female?
I have the feeling it's a female and if so... that would be new to science for this species.
I am not so used to work on small Satyridae so I'd prefer a confirmation.
Cheers
Olivier

I used to store my research papers in Mendeley to create the BibTex files. I would write my research papers using LaTex and Evernote. Personally, I find MS Word horrible, nevertheless it was the more popular choice in our biology department. Which program to use is a matter of personal taste.
Of course a handful can be formatted by hand, but my research papers would usually have more than 50 references. Reviews even up to 150.
