selected a specimen from Neumoegen’s collection, not
seen by Edwards, as the “type.” F. Brown and L. Miller
determined that the true type-series was that in Edwards’
own collection and acted accordingly.

As mentioned under Agathymus neumoegeni
chisosensis (H. Freeman, 1952), chromosome numbers for
various members of this complex are discordant. H. Freeman
(1969), J. Lepid. Soc. 23(suppl. 1): 46, recorded a
chromosome number of 22 for rindgei and 21 for gilberti.
These two taxa have the same type locality and cannot be
subspecies of the same species. They are either distinct
species or synonyms. It is possible that there was an error in
the determination of chromosome number. The species-level
status of gilberti needs investigation.

cited Pamphila comma (sensu Boisduval (1852), Annls. Soc.

This name is not a primary homonym of “Hesperia
ochracea” sensu Staudinger (1871), in: Staudinger and
Wocke, Cat. Lepid. Europ. (2nd ed.): 35, Plötz (1883),
Stettiner Entomol. Ztg. 44(4-6): 197, etc.; these usages
refer to Pamphila ochracea Bremer, 1861, Bull. Acad.
Sci. St. Pétersbourg (ser. 3)3(7): col. 473, secondarily
placed in Hesperia. That taxon is now in Ochlodes, so
the retrieval of this name from secondary homonymy
was mandatory since no replacement name was ever
proposed (Code Articles 57.3.1, 59.3).

This name was resurrected from obscurity by
Evans (1955), Cat. Am. Hesp. Brit. Mus. (4):
332, who applied it as a senior synonym
of peckius. Cramer’s figure is not recognizable
as this taxon, and the given locality is not within
its range as currently known. The locality could
be erroneous, since many Cramer names are
given this consideration; however, it is not
possible to prove that the figure represents this
taxon, so the name coras is best considered
a nomen dubium.

specimen was not in Edwards' original type-series, and
could not be a candidate for lectotype. No syntypes were
found, so Brown and Miller decided that the specimen
should be the neotype. Weidemeyer (1864), Proc.

The originally stated type locality and the
subsequent “restriction” are both incorrect. Ochlodes
agricola has never been documented in Washington,
and the only records from Oregon are in the
southwestern part of the state (A. Warren (2005),

Nekrutenko and Kerzhner (1986), Entomol. Obozr. 65(4):
776, discussed the probable type locality for this species.
They determined that Pallas (collector of the original
specimen) probably sent the type to Drury, which became
the basis for William Jones’ unpublished figure. The details
of Pallas’ journey indicate two regions from
which phoebus might have been collected: 1) the Irtysh
Valley, Western and Northern Altai, or 2) the Transbaikalian
area of the Yenisey. Nekrutenko and Kerzhner considered
that the Altai region was more probable. The nomenclature
proposed by J. Shepard and Manley (1998), Syst. W. N. Am.
Butterflies (58): 717-726, is followed. Also see Gluschenko

Anthocharis sara Lucas, 1852
Opler (1999), Field Guide W. Butterflies: 159-161,
recognized four species in this
group: sara (including gunderi, flora and alaskensis as
subspecies), julia, stella (including browningi),
and thoosa(including inghami and pseudothoosa). His
arrangement was at least in part based on Geiger and
Shapiro (1986), J. Res. Lepid. 25(1): 15-24,
where stella and julia were suggested to be species-level
taxa, based on electrophoretic evidence. Stout (2005), Bull.
Utah Lepid. Soc. 12(1): 5-9, 13, detailed larval and adult
characters of various populations in this group, which do not
entirely support Opler’s arrangement. This is augmented by
Stout (2010), Tax. Rep. Int. Lepid. Surv. 7(4): 1-12. The
species delimitation and distribution await complete
resolution and all taxa are retained under A. sara until that
occurs.

Satyrium fuliginosa (W. H. Edwards, 1861)
A. Warren (2005), Butterflies Ore.: 142-146, discussed the
relationship and distinctions between S. fuliginosa and S.
semiluna.
a. Satyrium fuliginosa fuliginosa (W. H. Edwards, 1861)
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 13(6): 160, 164, no. 10.
Original Combination: Lycaena fuliginosa
Type Locality: “California”; neotype from “Summit,”
currently known as Norden, El Dorado County,
California.
Types: Neotype in CMNH, designated by Opler
(1970), in: F. Brown, Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc. 96(1):
28, fig. 3 ♂ D&V. A subsequent “neotype” in the USNM,
was designated by Mattoon and Austin (1998), Syst. W.
N. Am. Butterflies (53): 682 (this is the lectotype
of suasa), who claimed that the first neotype represents
populations that Lorquin, the probable collector of the
original types, would not have likely sampled. Further
research may demonstrate this a faulty assumption.
Species-genus gender conformation is fuliginosum.

Type Locality: “In montibus”; “Col du Glandon” suggested

Types: Type(s) probably lost.
I.C.Z.N. Opinion 270 placed this name on the Official List of
Specific Names in Zoology as name no. 91.
In the last half century the
names glandon, aquilo, franklinii and rustica have all been
applied at the species-level to some or all populations of this
complex in North America (e.g., L. Miller and F. Brown
(1981), Mem. Lepid. Soc. (2): 127, Ferris (1989), Mem.
Lepid. Soc. (3): 35, Opler (1992), Field Guide E. Butterflies:
137, (1999), Field Guide W. Butterflies: 246). It is unclear
whether or not the name aquilo should be applied to the
North American fauna. Until a lectotype or neotype
for aquilo is designated, this issue will remain problematic.
Nekrutenko (1974), J. Lepid. Soc. 28(3): 281, fig. 1, showed
that there are no consistent genitalic characteristics by
which glandon and aquilo may be separated. Yakovlev and
Churkin (2003), Helios 4: 148-152, and Churkin (2005),
Helios 5: 3-38, discussed the use of the name glandon for all
of these populations. Since no thorough analysis of North
American populations has yet been presented, the following
arrangement is tentative.

previously considered a single species, includes multiple

consensus on species-level boundaries. The arrangement
presented is partly based on studies cited above, as well as

Gospod. 4: 86-89, no. 147. I.C.Z.N. Opinion 278 placed Nymphalis on the Official List of Generic
Names in Zoology as name no. 702. Rafinesque did not include Nymphalis among the listed genera,
but Nymphalis is unequivocally implied from the formation of the name (Code Article 11.7.1.1).
I.C.Z.N.Direction 99 placed Nymphalidae Swainson, 1827, Phil. Mag. (2)1(3): 185, 187 on the Official
List of Family-group Names in Zoology as name no. 232. Koçak (1981), Priamus 1(2): 93-96,
demonstrated that Swainson's name was based on Nymphalis Latreille, 1804, Nouv. Dict. Hist. Nat.
24(tab): 184, 199, a homonym, and thus invalid (Code Article 39). The Rafinesque name has the
advantage of priority, and Nymphalis Kluk, 1780, can be assumed to be the type-genus. An
application must be made to the I.C.Z.N. to correct the Official List (Code Article 79.5). The
arrangement of family-group names follows Wahlberg et al. (2003), Mol. Phylogen. Evol. 28(3): 473484, (2005), Proc. R. Entomol. Soc. Lond. (B) 272(1572): 1577-1586, (2005), Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 86(2):

Zwierz. Hist. Nat. Pocz. Gospod. 4: 82-84, no. 143. I.C.Z.N. Opinion 382 placed Heliconius on
theOfficial List of Generic Names in Zoology as name no. 923. I.C.Z.N. Direction 54 placed
Heliconiidae Swainson, 1827, Phil. Mag. (2)1(3): 184, 185, 187 (as “Heliconi” “Heliconidae”); 185, 187,
no. 5 (as “Heliconidae”), on the Official List of Family-Group Names in Zoology as name no. 117; the
same Direction placed Heliconidae, an invalid original spelling of Heliconiidae, on the Official Index of
Rejected and Invalid Family-Group Names in Zoology as name no. 103. Koçak (1981), Priamus 1(2):
93-96, determined that Swainson's family-group name was based on Heliconius Latreille 1804, a
homonym ofHeliconius Kluk, 1802. Thus, the type genus is invalid because it is a junior homonym
(Code Article 39); an application must be made to the I.C.Z.N. to correct the Official List (Code Article
79.5).

Boloria freija (Thunberg, 1791) (1789)
The name freija has long been associated with this species.
The recent determination (Heppner (1981), Arch. Nat. Hist.
10(2): 251-254) of Esper's publication dates gave priority to
Esper's description of lapponica over freija.
Replacing freija with lapponica is unnecessary and
destabilizing. A paper is being prepared to cite the evidence
for implementation of Code Article 81.2.3, to
grant freija status as a nomen protectum. Current usage is
maintained.

Types: Location of type(s) not known, probably lost.
The arrangement of North American taxa in this group
follows Pike (1981), J. Res. Lepid. 18(3): 156, and J.
Shepard (1998), Syst. W. N. Am. Butterflies (59): 727-730. It
is probable that this assemblage in North America actually

these at present.

subgenus within Argynnis [Fabricius], 1807, in: Illiger, Mag. f. Insektenk. 6: 287. This was current
before 1945 and has had a long history as the generic name for the butterflies now in the
genus Speyeria. There are objections to changing the generic name at this time, not all of them
technical issues. Such a change may be warranted in the future. Dunford (2009), Insecta Mundi 90: 174, offers an overview of the genus, with emphasis on the atlantis - hesperis complex.

Chlosyne acastus (W. H. Edwards, 1874) (1870)
The name acastus has long been associated with this suite
of taxa. The discovery that populations given the
name sterope (W. H. Edwards, 1870), formerly considered a
subspecies of Chlosyne palla (Boisduval, 1852), are actually
conspecific with C. acastus, threatens the seniority of the
latter name; see A. Warren (2005), Butterflies Ore.: 225-232.
Replacing acastus with sterope as the species-level name
(e.g., Scott (2006), Papilio (n.s.) 12: 37-38), would create an
unnecessary and cumbersome reassignment of names. A
paper is being prepared to cite the evidence for
implementation of Code Article 81.2.3, to
grant acastus status as a nomen protectum.

However, since there are two syntypes of that taxon extant,
and V. Lukhtanov (1989), Vestnik Zool. 1989(2): 33-34,
considered them to represent two different species, I defer
from accepting this synonymy until a lectotype has been
designated.

from the figures given by Boisduval. The original
localities given by Boisduval are diverse

dos Passos thought it wise to designate the “type” as
the specimen represented by Boisduval's figure,
since it closely resembles specimens from Labrador.

Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Electronic Biologica Centrali-Americana is a large project involving several contributors in which rare
and widely scattered resources are being digitized and made available in a central place for use by the
taxonomic research community. These resources include text and plates of rare books, specimens,
card indices and databases. According to the EBCA website the ultimate goal is to make the data in
these texts searchable, and to add more modern treatments and descriptions to the original
information. Read more about the project here. We have provided links to the Lepidoptera volumes
(the links below will take you to the EBCA website, where you may view or download the pages in JPG

GLOSSARY OF LEPIDOPTERA TERMS
Abdomen: The last body section, behind the thorax.
Aberration: An abnormal phenotype, usually in wing pattern or color, which may be caused
by genetic, environmental, or developmental factors (14).
Adaptation: A feature of an organism that evolved by natural selection because it performed
a certain function better than its antecedents (20). See “natural selection”.
Adaptive radiation: The production of several or many new species from a common ancestor,
usually when the ancestor invades a new and empty habitat (20). The radiation is “adaptive”
because the genetic barriers between species arise as by-products of natural selection
adapting populations to their environments (20). In the subfamily Pierinae, the shift from
Fabales (legumes and allied plants) to Brassicales (crucifers and related plants containing
glucosinolates), followed by further shifts from Brassicales to Santalales (‘mistletoes’), has
led to adaptive radiation (21).
Adult: The breeding, final, and most conspicuous stage of the butterfly life cycle; sometimes
called the “imago”. The lifespan of adult butterflies ranges from a few weeks to several
months, depending on species and environment (1).
Aedeagus: The male intromittent organ (organ specialized to deliver sperm) in butterflies
(14).
Alkaloids: A large class of secondary plant compounds, many of which are produced by
specific plant families or genera and which may be important in host-plant selection by
butterflies (14).
Allochronic: Active at different seasons or times (14). Compare "synchronic".
Allopatric: Occurring in different areas. Allopatry is suggested to be the primary means of
evolutionary radiation through adaptations to differing conditions or habitats in different areas
(1). Compare “sympatric”.
Allotype: The term may be used to indicate a specimen of opposite sex to the holotype;
allotypes have no name-bearing function (9).
Ampulla: A process (often finger-like) arising from the inner side of the valva.
Anal angle: The area enclosed by the inner and outer margins of the hindwing (17).
Anal fold: A fold on the inner margin of the hindwing (17).
Annellus: Membranous sheath enclosing the aedeagus.
Androconium: A modified wing scale on some male butterflies that secretes or disperses
pheromones, as in courtship (14). (plural: androconia). Compare “stigma”
Annulated: Consisting of ring-like segments or divisions (usually referring to the antennae).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Ant-butterfly association: See “myrmecophily”.
Antenna: Either of two long, filamentous appendages on the insect head (15). (plural:
antennae). See Figures "1" and "2"depicting antennae for examples of antennae and
descriptive nomenclature.
Apical: The area at or near the wing tip, or apex. Compare “basal”.
Apiculus: The hooked extension of the antennal club in hesperiids.
Aposematism: Bright, contrasting colors that advertise the unpalatability of an organism to
predators (14). Also known as warning coloration. See "mimicry".
Areole : A small subdivision at the base of the wing cell, or a small window on the upper side
of a wing scale (8). (plural: areolae).
Automimicry: Protective resemblance afforded palatable members of a species by their close
resemblance to unpalatable individuals (14). See "mimicry".
Band: A line of color that runs from the dorsal to the ventral sides of the caterpillar (the entire
distance or only a portion of the distance) (11).
Background extinction: The steady extinction at all geological periods of a certain number of
individual species (22). Compare “mass extinction”.
Basad: Towards the wing base (14)
Basal: The area at or near the wing base. Compare “apical”.
Basking: A thermoregulatory activity where butterfly species orient themselves to gather
incoming solar radiation, usually more common in the cooler hours of the morning.
Batesian mimicry: The mimicry of an unpalatable species (model) by a palatable one (mimic)
(14). Compare "Mullerian mimicry".
Biennial: Having a two-year cycle.
Bird-butterfly association: An association observed in the Central and South America tropics
where many hesperiids (skippers) and some ithomiines (tiger-mimics, glasswings) feed on
the liquefied droppings of certain species of antbirds (Formicariidae) and woodcreepers
(Dendrocolaptidae) attracted to army ant swarms (Formicidae: Ecitoninae) (19)
Bivoltine: Having two flights per year (14).
Brood: A single generation of a population during which the adults emerge more or less
synchronously (16).
Bursa copulatrix: Internal female copulatory duct, consisting of the ductus bursae and corpus
bursae (7). A sac in the female abdomen wherein the spermatophore is stored and digested
(after the sperm are released) (15).
Cardenolides: A class of secondary plant compounds found mostly in the milkweed and
dogbane families, involved in host selection by species feeding on these plants and
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
commonly sequestered by them for their own defense against predators (14). Also called
cardiac glycosides (14).
Caterpillar: The worm-like, juvenile stage (between egg and pupa) of butterflies and moths;
also called the larva. See Figures "1"and "2" depicting larvae for examples of caterpillars and
descriptive nomenclature.
Cell: Any area of the wing surrounded by veins (3); however, the word “cell” used alone often
refers to the discal cell (15). Most cells (other than the discal cell) are labeled according to
the vein in front of them, e.g., cell M2 is behind vein M2 (15). See “discal cell”.
Cervical shield: A heavily pigmented, sclerotized area behind the head of many caterpillars,
especially hesperiids (14).
Chevron: A "V" shaped mark on a caterpillar (11).
Chorion: The eggshell, often ornately sculptured (14).
Chrysalis: The hard case in which a caterpillar transforms into an adult (11); also known as a
pupa.
Cilia: Fine hairs along the edges of the wing (8).
Clade: The set of all species descended from a single ancestral species.
Cladistics: A methodology in systematics whereby taxa are hierarchically clustered according
to inferred relative recency of common ancestry.
Cline: A gradual, progressive, usually continual change in physical characteristics over the
geographic or altitudinal range of a species.
Club: The thickened terminal section of the antenna. In papilionids the antennae end in a
club, while in hesperiids they end in a hooked extension of the club. See “apiculus”.
Clypeus: The scleritized plate near the bottom front of the head, attached to the labrum
below the antennae.
Coevolution: The parallel evolution of two kinds of organisms that are interdependent, or
where at least one depends on the other, and where any change in one will result in an
adaptive response in the other (22). A classic example of coevolution is the relationship
between butterflies and their larval foodplants (26).
Collar: The dorsal plate behind the head of a caterpillar, usually dark in color (11).
Colonist: A taxon that periodically establishes breeding populations in a region but not
usually as permanent breeding residents(1).
Colony: A term loosely applied to a local population of butterflies that persists at one location
for a number of years (16). An isolated population (15).

Dyar's law: An empirical generalization in which successive larval instars in Lepidoptera are
related by a constant size multiplier, enabling one to use the shed head capsules to
determine the number of molts (14).
Ecdysis: Molting or shedding by a caterpillar.
Eclosion: The emergence of the adult butterfly from the chrysalis (16).
Ecotype: An ecological "race” of an organism that is distinct from other related taxa because
of different ecological or environmental associations, though it may not be taxonomically

a.k.a. the gossamer-wings), Riodinidae (metalmarks; placed within Lycaenidae by some
authors), Nymphalidae (brushfoots, including fritillaries, checkerspots, crescents, admirals,
satyrs, and monarchs), andHesperiidae (skippers) (1).
Femur: The third segment of the leg (the first long movable segment), between the
trochanter and the tibia (15).
Filaments: Fleshy appendages on caterpillars (11).

Flight: A single generation of adults (15).
Flight period: The time of year when adults of a given species can be found.
Forewing: The front pair of wings on an insect (closer to the head). The forewings provide
structural support and are the primary mechanisms of lift for flight. Species with pointed
forewings are generally faster, more direct fliers, while those with rounded forewings are
usually slower and more maneuverable (1).

segments. The genitalia are often of diagnostic value in butterfly taxonomy (14). See male
genitalia figures "1", "2" and "3" and female genitalia figures "1"and "2" for examples of male
and female genitalia and descriptive nomenclature.
Genus: The nested rank between family and species in the Linnaean system (1).
Geographic speciation: Speciation that begins with the geographic isolation of two or more
populations, which subsequently develop into species-level taxa.
Girdle: A silken thread supporting the midsection of a chrysalis (17). Found especially in the
papilionids.

search for receptive females (2).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Gynandromorph: An individual that contains both male and female characteristics; also
known as a sexual mosaic. When one side is female and the other male it is known as a
bilateral gynandromorph (14).
H or HW: Hindwing.
Hair pencils: Hair-like structures on the legs or abdomens of some butterflies
(e.g., Danainae) that are believed to aid in the dissemination of pheromones during
courtship.
Hemolymph: The body fluids ("blood") of insects. Hemolymph does not usually carry oxygen
and thus does not have a respiratory pigment like hemoglobin (14).
Hibernaculum: Winter nest or shelter.
Hibernation: Dormancy during the winter, which may or may not involve diapause (14).
Compare “estivation” and “diapause”.
Hilltopping: A mate-locating behavior where males aggregate on hilltops or ridges to wait for
or search for receptive females (2).
Hindwing: The rear pair of wings on an insect. The hindwings primarily are used for stability
and increased surface area in flight. When butterflies land with their wings closed (and most
do), the ventral hindwing is the primary wing surface observed. Some species have complex
color patterns and designs on this wing surface, including eyespots and tails that may draw
the attention of predators away from more “critical” areas of the body like the head and
forewings. These patterns also can serve as important means of species recognition in
courtship (demonstrably so in the Lycaeides blues). In others, like Ceryconis wood nymphs,
ventral hindwings are cryptic and serve as camouflage (1).
Holometabolous: An insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, and
adult).
Holotype: The single specimen upon which a new nominal species-group taxon is based in
the original publication; a holotype is a specimen with a name-bearing function (9).
Homonym: [1] In the family group: each of two or more available names having the same
spelling, or differing only in suffix, and denoting different nominal taxa. [2] In the genus group:
each of two or more available names having the same spelling, and denoting different
nominal taxa. [3] In the species group: each of two or more available specific or subspecific
names having the same spelling, and established for different nominal taxa, and either
originally (primary homonymy) or subsequently (secondary homonymy) combined with the
same generic name (9).
Honeydew: A sweet liquid secreted by some aphids, scale insects, and lycaenid butterfly
larvae as a byproduct of their feeding. Also, a sugary exudate that accumulates on the
surface of certain cynipid wasp galls. These galls are often actively tended by ants, which
collect the honeydew and drive off parasitoids attempting to attack the gall wasp (12). In
addition to ants, the honeydew is used as a food source by some adult butterflies, for
example Colorado Hairstreak (Hypaurotis crysalus). See also "myrmecophily".
Hyaline spots: Translucent, glass-like spots on the wings of some butterflies (17).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Hybrid zone: An area of overlap between two species or sub-specific types where
hybridization takes place. North American admiral butterflies (genus Limenitis) have
historically been of interest because hybridization between nominal species is widespread,
with perhaps the most dramatic example involving hybridization zones between mimetic
(Limenitis arthemis astyanax) and nonmimetic (Limenitis a. arthemis) populations (27).
Imaginal discs: Clusters of embryonic cells that give rise to the structures of the adult during
the late larval and pupal stages (14).

Inclusion-body diseases: A group of diseases of certain caterpillars and other insects in
which infective virus is shed within characteristic protein crystals ("inclusion bodies") that are
very resistant to degradation in the environment (14).
Influx species: In the southwestern U.S. in particular, a species that enters the region
annually from other deserts, thornscrub habitats, and mountain ranges in northern Mexico,
with the intensity of the influx thought to be related to the strength, time of onset, and
duration of the summer rainy season. Many of these visitors breed and comprise a significant
or even dominant portion of the summer butterfly fauna, while others find no suitable plants
to serve as larval hosts.
Infuscated: Washed or densely shaded with black or gray (14).
Instar: The period between larval molts. Most butterfly larvae molt their exoskeleton about 5
times and therefore have 6 instars, but environmental conditions can alter the number (1).
International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN): The ICZN is an organization
that acts as adviser and arbiter for the zoological community by generating and
disseminating information on the correct use of the scientific names of animals, and is
responsible for producing the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature - a set of rules
for the naming of animals and the resolution of nomenclatural problems (9).
Irruptive: Species that invade periodically from an adjacent or distant area.
Johnston's organ: A sensory organ found in the antennal pedicel (second segment) that
serves to detect movements or vibrations of the antennal flagellum relative to the rest of the
body.
Juxta: In the male genitalia of most lepidoptera, the sclerite located between the valvae and
below the aedeagus; usually serving as a support for the sheath of the aedeagus.
Junior Synonym: Of two synonyms: the later established, or in the case of simultaneous
establishment that not given precedence under Article 24 (9).

to the copulatory opening.
Larva: (plural: larvae). See "caterpillar".
Larval foodplant: Any plant eaten by larvae and on which the eggs are normally laid (15).
Also known as larval hostplant. Foodplant specificity can vary greatly across butterfly
species, ranging from only one plant species to dozens of suitable plant species, and can
promote speciation between two or more groups of closely related taxa through reproductive
isolation (1). Prime examples of this are Euphilotes blue butterflies and
some Apodemia metalmarks that almost exclusively use different species or varieties of
buckwheats (Eriogonum) (1).
Lateral-basking: A mode of thermoregulation in which one side of the body or wing is
exposed to incoming solar radiation (14). The wings are closed and the animal leans so that
its plane is perpendicular to the sun’s rays (14).
Lectotype: Designated from syntypes as the single name-bearing type specimen subsequent
to the establishment of a nominal species or subspecies (9).
Lek: A site where males of a species congregate to attract females, or where females are
instinctively programmed to seek them (14). Within the lek, males may be territorial (14).
Sites where male hairstreaks perch in numbers can fairly be called leks (14).

of animals on earth with about 180,000 described species worldwide, although only 10-15%
of Lepidoptera are butterflies (1).
Lepidopterology: The scientific study of butterflies and moths.
Local: When populations of an organism are found only in small patches, even though those

very small areas but the species has a circumboreal distribution (1).
Lunule: Crescent marks usually found along the margin of the wing (8).
Macroevolution: “Major” evolutionary change, usually thought of as large changes in body
form or the evolution of one type of plant or animal from another type (20). Evolution above
the species level (22). Although macroevolution involves a large evolutionary change, it can
perhaps best be understood as the sum of many microevolutionary steps over a very large
time scale. Compare “microevolution”.
Marginal: Along the outer edge of the wing.
Mass extinction: The extermination of a large proportion of the biota by a climatic, geological,
cosmic, or other environmental event (22). Compare “background extinction”.
Mate-locating behavior: Behavior that functions to bring the sexes together (14); also called
epigamic behavior. Most authors divide mate-locating behavior into two main categories
relating to the situation in which the sexes meet: "perching" and "patrolling" (2). In this
definition, "hilltopping", "gulching", and “treetopping”, for example, are not considered
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
alternatives to patrolling and perching but are seen as systems that reduce the total area
where the males may engage in patrolling or perching (2); with small sites called leks by
some authors.
Maxillary galea: The two elongated structures that form the proboscis in adult butterflies.
Meconium: The waste products of metamorphosis, often red or pink, voided by the recently
emerged adult, usually prior to flight (14).
Medial vein: The fourth wing vein and it’s three branches (3).
Median: The area of the wing halfway between the base and the apex (3).

Metapopulation: A set of local populations interconnected by occasional exchange of
individuals and genes (14).
Metathorax: The third (posterior) segment of the thorax.
Microevolution: “Minor” evolutionary change, such as the change in size or color of a species
(20). Evolution at or below the species level (22). Compare “Macroevolution”.
Migration: The systematic dispersal of organisms. In butterflies, migrations may be latitudinal,
altitudinal, or both and usually have a seasonal component (14).
Mimicry: The resemblance of two or more unrelated organisms, where there is adaptive
benefit to one, both, or all (14). Near the center of its historic range, the Pipevine Swallowtail
(Battus philenor) acquires dangerous chemicals from its larval foodplant and is unpalatable
and has no mimics, but in the southeastern U.S. (as inferred from genetic studies), it is
mimicked by several unrelated butterfly species (1). See "Batesian mimicry" and "Mullerian
mimicry".
Molt: To shed the larval skin or exoskeleton (11).

the support of genetic or ecological information (1).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Mullerian mimicry: A type of mimicry in which two or more unpalatable species display very
similar phenotypes, which allows predators to learn to avoid that particular phenotype (14).
Compare “Batesian mimicry”.
Multivoltine: Having three or more flights per year (14).
mv: Median vein.
Myrmecophily: Associating with ants. The larvae of many lyceanids are regularly attended by
ants (15). In many cases these associations are mutualistic whereby the butterfly caterpillar
secretes nutritious solutions from specialized glands (honey gland or dorsal nectary organ) in
exchange for protection from predators and parasites (6). However, some associations
between lycaenids and ants are parasitic with the lycaenid caterpillar preying on the ant
brood or being fed by ants as nest inquilines (13).
Name-bearing type: The type genus, type species, holotype, lectotype, series of syntypes
(which together constitute the name-bearing type) or neotype that provides the objective
standard of reference for the naming of a taxon (9).
Naturalized: Self-perpetuating in a new environment without human assistance (e.g.,
Cabbage White [Pieris rapae]) (14).
Natural selection: The “nonrandom”, differential reproduction of alleles (a form of a given
gene produced by mutation) from one generation to the next (20). Although mutations occur
randomly, it is the “nonrandom” filtering of that variation by natural selection that produces
adaptations (20). Natural selection requires only that individuals of a species vary genetically
in their ability to survive and reproduce in their environment (20).
Nectaring: The act of feeding on the nectar of flowering plants.
Neo-Darwinism: The current theory of the process of evolution, combining the Darwinian
theory of evolution by natural selection with modern knowledge of genes and chromosomes
to explain the source of the genetic variation upon which selection works.
Neotype: The single specimen designated as the name-bearing type of a nominal species or
subspecies when there is a need to define the nominal taxon objectively and no namebearing type is believed to be extant (9).
Nest: The structure made by many caterpillars (consisting of leaves, silk, and/or ground
debris) for concealment when not feeding.
Nominate subspecies: The subspecies containing the type specimen of a species and thus
carrying the name of the species, for example,Hesperia colorado colorado (14).
Nudum: The scaleless area on the tip of the antenna, especially in hesperiids, where scent
detectors are common (15).
Nuptial gifts: The term used to describe the nutrients (amino acids, proteins, lipids,
hydrocarbons, and water) the male butterfly in some species transfers, including the
spermatophore, to the female during mating (5).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016

name-bearing type(s) (9).
Obtect: Rounded, without prominences (14).
Oligophagous: Moderately specialized in larval foodplant selection, feeding on plants of only
a few plant families (14).
Ommatidium: Each facet or individual eye in the adult compound eye; also, each eye of the

caterpillar, which generally produces a defensive secretion that has a pungent odor. (plural:
osmeteria).
Overwintering stage: The stage (egg, larva, pupa, or adult) in which butterflies hibernate
through the winter months. Different species hibernate in different stages, and this affects the
timing of activity by adults during the warmer months (1).
Oviposit: To lay one or more eggs.
Ovipositor: A pair of structures located at the tip of the female abdomen through which eggs
are laid.
Ovum: See "Egg". (plural: ova)
Panmictic: Pertaining to populations and species of such great dispersal capacity that there
is complete interbreeding of populations from all parts of their range (22). For example, a
widespread Old World butterfly, Lampides boeticus (Lycaenidae), is apparently panmictic
with very little genetic variation across large geographic distances (23).
Paralectotype: Each specimen of a former syntype series remaining after the designation of
a lectotype; paralectotypes have no name-bearing function (9).
Parasitoid: An organism that is free-living as an adult but whose larva feed on or in a single
host organism. Parasitoids are among the most important natural enemies of butterflies and
include many species of small wasps and flies (14).
Paratype: Each specimen of a type series other than the holotype; paratypes have no namebearing function (9).
Partial flight: A group of adults that have emerged from pupation while most of their
generation remains in diapause (15).
Patrolling: A mate-locating strategy in which male butterflies continuously fly considerable
distances to actively seek out receptive females.
pcv: Precostal vein.
Pedicel: The second segment of the antennal shaft in insects.
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Perching: A mate-locating strategy in which male butterflies wait at certain sites for females
to arrive, and fly out to investigate passing butterflies to see if they are receptive females.
Pharate adult: The completely developed adult as visible within the pupal case before
emergence (14)
Phenology: The study of the timing (seasonality) of biological events (14). In butterflies this
includes the timing of development through metamorphosis, adult flight periods, and
breeding through the year (1).
Phenotype: The appearance of an organism, particularly with reference to a particular
character (14); examples include the patterns of differently colored scales on the wings of
butterflies (1).

example of how phylogenetic trees are reconstructed
seehttp://butterfliesofamerica.com/knowhow/LBA.htm
Phylogeography: A method using genetic data in a geographic context to reconstruct the
history and historical distribution patterns of populations (14). Phylogeographic studies
suggest that the family Nymphalidae originated in the Cretaceous at 90 million years ago,
and that only 10-12 lineages survived the end-Cretaceous mass extinction in the Neotropical
and Oriental regions before dispersing widely (24).
Polyandry: A breeding system in which a female mates with more than one male.
Polyhedrosis: A common group of inclusion-body diseases of caterpillars (14). See
“inclusion-body diseases”.
Polymorphism: The occurrence within a population or species of multiple phenotypes or
forms; currently usually restricted to cases where the forms are under direct genetic control
(14). This definition excludes seasonal forms. Compare "polyphenism".
Polyphenism: The occurrence within a population or species of multiple phenotypes or forms
that are induced by environmental influences such as photoperiod or temperature (14).
Seasonal forms (e.g., spring vs. summer form, dry season vs. wet season form) in butterflies
are polyphenic (14). Compare “polymorphism”.
Population: A group of butterflies belonging to the same species and occupying a defined
area(14). Compare "metapopulation".
Postbasal: That area of the wing that lies just beyond the base (3)
Postdiscal band: The band located between the discal and submarginal areas on the wings
of some butterflies (17).

WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Prepupal: The inactive stage (last larval instar) when the larva prepares to pupate.
Primary seta: Any of the few hairs (setae) present on nearly all moth and butterfly first-stage
larvae.
Principle of Priority: The principle that the valid name of a taxon is the oldest available name
applied to it (taking into consideration the other provisions of Article 23), provided that the
name is not invalidated by any provision of the Code or by any ruling by the Commission (9).
Proboscis: The feeding tube of adult Lepidoptera, kept coiled beneath the head when not in
use (14).
Proleg: Any of the ten false legs on the posterior segments of a larva (15).
Protandry: The earlier adult emergence (or arrival) of males than of females (2).
Prothorax: The first (anterior) segment of the thorax.
Pulvillus: The pad between the tarsal claws on the leg (3).
Puddling: The aggregation of butterflies at mud (usually restricted to young males), thought
to represent a method of harvesting mineral salts for physiological use (14).
Pupa: (plural: pupae). See "Chrysalis" also see pupa illustration.

days, eventually compete for a position on one of the pupae, and mate with the emerging
female (4).
Pupate: To transform into a pupa or chrysalis (18).
Race: An informal term, not recognized in taxonomy, for subdivisions of a species
recognizable on phenotypic, ecological, or similar bases (14), generally used for a
geographic subspecies.
Radial veins: Wing veins that terminate in the apical area (3).
Range: The geographic area occupied by a species or subspecies.
Rejection behavior: A behavior performed by an unreceptive female (or male) to discourage
a male. These behaviors may include movements (like wing fluttering or vertical then quick
downward flights), or postures (like raising the abdomen up between the wings so that the
male cannot make genital contact (14, 15).
Relict: A species or population "left behind" in an area during an episode of geologic or
climatic change (14); e.g., during a glacial period. Many disjunct populations are relictual
(14).
Reproductive isolating barriers: Genetically based features of a species that prevent it from
forming fertile hybrids with another species; for example, differences in courtship rituals that
prevent out-crossing (20).
Sacculus: A pouch-like expansion located at the base of the valva.
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Saccus: A male mating structure (15).
Scales: Very small, flattened modified hairs that cover the wings and bodies of butterflies and
moths(1). Colors are produced through chemical pigments, iridescence, or both (1).
Scape: The base of the antennal shaft.
Sclerite: Any plate of the hardened (sclerotized) exoskeleton, defined by sutures (7).
Scolus: Any branching spine or seta-bearing cone on a caterpillar (15), named using Bpreceding the name of the nearest primary seta (J. Scott, pers. comm.).
Secondary plant substances: Chemical compounds characteristic of particular plant lineages,
generally thought to have defensive functions, and usually important in insect-foodplant
relationships (14). Also called secondary plant metabolites (14). As an example, the
California Pipevine (Aristolochia californica) plant produces unique chemicals called
aristolochic acids (1). The sole butterfly herbivore on this plant in California, the Pipevine
Swallowtail (Battus philenor), stores those acids in its body and uses them for its own
defense (1).
Secondary seta: Any of the many hairs (setae) that develop as a larva grows from the first
stage to maturity.
Segment: One of several sections of a caterpillar's abdomen (11), or adult appendages.
Segregate: A phenotypically distinct population of butterflies that has not been formally
described as a subspecies; some segregates will likely be described as subspecies in the
future, while some will not.
Selection pressure: Any feature of the environment that results in natural selection; for
example, food shortage, the activity of a predator, or competition from other members of the
same sex for a mate, can cause individuals of different genetic types to survive to different
average ages, to reproduce at different rates, or both.
Semivoltine: Having one flight every other year (14).
Senior synonym: Of two synonyms: the earlier established, or in the case of simultaneous
establishment that given precedence under Article 24 (9).
Seta: Any hair, bristle, or spine projecting from the exoskeleton (does not include the scales).
(plural: setae). See “primary seta” and “secondary seta”.
Sexual dimorphism: Conspicuous phenotypic differences between the sexes of a species
(14).
Sexual selection: Selection for attributes that enhance reproductive success (22). A form of
natural selection (20). In butterflies, for example, intra-specific sexual selection in the
Common Eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina) is thought to be the driving force behind the
exaggeration of bright, iridescent butterfly color patterns (25).
WAS-Archives.org

Sibling species: Species that are so similar phenotypically as to be nearly or quite
unrecognizable as such without detailed study; usually first recognized based on behavioral
or ecological differences (14).
Sister taxon: The most closely related taxon at the same rank (species, genus, etc.) (1).
Speciation: The evolution of new populations that are distinct at the species-level. See
“geographic speciation”.
Species: Under the biological species concept (which applies only to sexual, out-crossing
organisms like butterflies), a group of interbreeding individuals reproductively isolated from
other such groups (14). Many additional species concepts exist, some of which were
summarized by Mayden (1997) (28) and Wheeler & Meier (2000) (29).
Speciose: Rich in number of species, as in the order Lepidoptera.
Spermatheca: The organ in the female where sperm can be stored, sometimes for months
(14). Once ovulation begins, the sperm leave the spermatheca one at a time and meet the
individual eggs as they move down the oviduct (14)
Spermatogenesis: Sperm formation, which in butterflies begins in the late larval stage of
males (14)
Spermatophore: A sperm-containing package deposited by the male during copulation,
usually including nutrients that can be used by the female in making eggs (14). In most
butterfly species remnants of the spermatophore (only one is transferred per mating) remain
within the female's reproductive tract throughout her lifetime, making it possible to determine
the number of times a female has mated by dissecting and counting the number of
spermatophore remains (10).
Sperm precedence: A mechanism common in butterflies whereby the most recent male to
copulate with the female inactivates any sperm left over from the previous mating (14).
Sphragis: A waxy, vaginal plug formed by a male and inserted into the female during
copulation to prevent the female from mating again (14). Found in Parnassians and some
Swallowtails (14).
Spinneret: The silk-dispensing lobe beneath the head of a caterpillar (15).
Spiracle: Any of a series of respiratory openings along the sides of the body (15).
Spur: Either of the two (or in some skippers any of the four) relatively long spine-like
projections on the tibia (15).
Stabilizing (Normalizing) selection: Natural selection that favors “average” individuals in a
population over those at the extremes (22).
Stigma: A pheromone gland on the wings of some male butterflies (14). The stigma is usually
located on the dorsal forewing of many hairstreaks (family Lycaenidae) and hesperiids, but
may be located on the hindwings or near the body in other butterfly families (1). Also called
sex patch.

Stink club: A process at the end of the abdomen of most female Heliconiini, bearing scent
scales (15).
scv: Subcostal vein.
Subgenual organ: A sense organ on the tibia that detects substrate vibrations.
Subjective synonym: Each of two or more names whose synonymy is only a matter of
individual opinion, i.e. it is not objective (9).
Submarginal: The portion of the wing that lies between the median and postbasal areas (3).
Subspecies: A taxon below the species level that is perceived to have at least some degree
of consistent differences phenotypically and with a definite geographic distribution (14).
Unlike most species, most subspecies have no "biological" criterion and are often
controversial (14).
Sulcus: An internal ridge of the exoskeleton for strengthening or muscle attachment.
Suture: Any visible line or sulcus on the exoskeleton where two segments (sclerites) join.
Sympatric: Occurring in the same area. Compare “allopatric”.
Synchronic: Active at the same times or seasons (14). Compare "allochronic".
Synonym: Each of two or more names of the same rank used to denote the same taxon (9).
Synonymy: A chronological list or record of the scientific names that have been used to label
the same organism.
Syntype: Each specimen of a type series from which neither a holotype nor a lectotype has
been designated (9). The syntypes collectively constitute the name-bearing type (9).
Systematics: The science involved in the naming of organisms (taxonomy) and the
evolutionary and ecological aspects of classification (14).
Tail: A projection from the hindwing, well developed in some species (especially Papilionids),
or short and slender (as in many hairstreaks) (18)
Tarsal claws: Curved, paired appendages at the end of the last tarsal segment (18).
Tarsus: The tip or last segment of the leg. (plural: tarsi).
Taxon: A taxonomic unit, whether named or not: i.e. a population, or group of populations of
organisms which are usually inferred to be phylogenetically related and which have
characters in common which differentiate them (e.g. a geographic population, a genus, a
family, an order) from other such units (9). (plural: taxa).
Taxonomy: The theory and practice of classifying organisms (9). For the modern (perennially
updated) resource on United States and Canada butterfly taxonomy see A Catalog of the
Butterflies of the United States and Canada by Jonathan P. Pelham
Tegula: Either of the two dorsal flaps between the mesothorax and the forewing.

Teneral: A butterfly newly emerged from the pupa and not fully hardened and capable of
flight (14).
Thorax: The part of the insect body (lying between the head and the abdomen) where the
legs and/or wings are attached. See “prothorax”, “mesothorax”, and “metathorax”.
Tibia: The fourth segment of the leg (the second long movable segment), between the femur
and tarsus (15). (plural: tibiae).
Tibial tuft: A tuft of hairs (setae) on the tibiae, used in the classification of some duskywings
(18).
Topotype: A term for a specimen originating from the type locality of the species or
subspecies to which it is thought to belong, whether or not the specimen is part of the type
series (9).
Tornus: The junction of the inner and outer margins of the forewing or hindwing.
Torpor: The state of inactivity induced by environmental conditions and quickly reversible
(14). Also used to refer to the “playing dead” of adult Nymphalis, Polygonia, etc. when
handled (J. Scott, pers. comm.).
Treetopping: A mate-locating behavior where males aggregate at treetops (or the tops of
shrubs) to wait for or search for receptive females (2).
Trochanter: The second segment of the leg, between the coxa and the femur (15).
Tubercle: Any small, rounded projection on the body of a caterpillar or pupa (11).
Type: A term used alone, or forming part of a compound term, to denote a particular kind of
specimen or taxon (9).
Type locality: The geographical place of capture, collection, or observation of the namebearing type of a nominal species or subspecies (9).
Type series: The series of specimens on which the original author bases a new nominal
species-group taxon (9). In the absence of a holotype designation, any such specimen is
eligible for subsequent designation as the name-bearing type (lectotype); pending lectotype
designation, all the specimens of the type series are syntypes and collectively they constitute
the name-bearing type (9). Excluded from the type series are any specimens that the original
author expressly excludes or refers to as distinct variants, or doubtfully includes in the taxon
(9).
Type species: The nominal species that is the name-bearing type of a nominal genus or
subgenus (9).
Type specimen: A term used for a holotype, lectotype or neotype, or for any syntype; also
used generally for any specimen of the type series (9).
UN: Underside of wings.
Uncus: The terminal hook-like structure in the male genitalia (7).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
UNF or Unf: Underside of the forewing.
UNH or Unh: Underside of the hindwing.
Univoltine: Having one flight per year (14).
UP: Upperside of wings.
UPF or Upf: Upperside of the forewing.
UPH or Uph: Upperside of the hindwing.
Valva: Either of the two appendages at the tip of the male abdomen used to hold the female
during mating. Also called clasper. (plural: valvae).
Vein: Any of the tubular struts in the insect wing (15).
Venation: The arrangement (pattern) of veins in the insect wing. Wing venation patterns can
be key means of identifying taxa (1). See Figures "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5" for examples of
how wing veins are labeled.
Ventral: Pertaining to the under surface. In butterflies, the ventral surface of the wings is
visible when the wings are held closed over the body (1).
Vinculum: Basal portion of the male genitalia (7).
Voltinism: The number of flights per year, which usually but not always corresponds to the
number of generations (14).
Voucher specimen: A specimen retained as a reference in a study.
