Oeneis tanana A. Warren & Nakahara is described from the Tanana River Basin in southeastern Alaska, USA. This new taxon belongs to the bore group of Oeneis Hübner, [1819] and is apparently closest to O. chryxus (E. Doubleday, [1849]) by morphology, including its larger size and similarity of the female genitalia. In wing patterns and COI mitochondrial DNA barcode sequences, it is reminiscent of O. bore (Esper, 1789). A review of O. chryxus subspecies suggest that some may be better treated as species-level taxa. Evolutionary scenarios within the chryxus complex of taxa are discussed. While we hypothesize that O. tanana is best considered a species-level taxon, we have not identified any single character that unambiguously separates it from O. chryxus. Further study is needed to elucidate the speciesor subspecies-level status of O. tanana, and to determine if it may have evolved through hybridization between O. chryxus and O. bore.
Oeneis tanana A. Warren & Nakahara来自美国阿拉斯加东南部的tanana河流域。这个新分类群属于Oeneis h bner[1819]的孔群,在形态学上,包括其较大的尺寸和雌性生殖器的相似性,显然与O. chryxus (E. Doubleday,[1849])最接近。在翅膀图案和COI线粒体DNA条形码序列中,它让人想起O. bore (Esper, 1789)。对黄萼花亚种的研究表明,有些亚种可以作为种级分类群。讨论了分类群中黄斑体复合体的进化情景。虽然我们假设O. tanana最好被认为是一个物种级别的分类单元,但我们还没有发现任何单一的特征将其与O. chryxus明确区分开来。需要进一步的研究来阐明O. tanana的种或亚种水平地位,并确定它是否可能是通过O. chryxus和O. bore之间的杂交进化而来的。

Although many studies have shown a relationship between forest type and quality on resident lepidopteran assemblages, there appears to be an absence of such studies in Paci c island countries. This study compared nocturnal macro-moth assemblages in a native rainforest, mixed forest and a plantation of exotic trees (mahogany) near Suva, Fiji Islands. Four nightly surveys (4 h from dusk) were performed in each forest type using a mercury vapour light. A total of 491 macro- moths belonging to 92 species in nine families were collected. No statistically signi cant differences in abundance, species richness and various diversity indices were observed across the different forest types. Endemic species were collected in all three locations, although signi cantly more endemic individuals were collected in the native forest compared to the exotic plantation. When examining species composition, ‘analysis of similarity’ (ANOSIM) and non-metric multidimensional scaling suggested that the faunas observed in the mixed forest and the exotic forest might be different, with the fauna in the native forest intermediate between these two. Although we found no major differences in the moth assemblages in these three sites, the results collected provide baseline data for future studies and comparisons with other localities. The results also reinforce previous ndings which demonstrate that exotic plantations and semi-degraded forests may still provide useful refuges for endemic insect species of conservation value.

Two new species of Euptychia are described and illustrated from southern Mexico and Guatemala. Euptychia neblina A. Warren & Nakahara n. sp., is described from eleven specimens from cloud forest habitats in the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, as well as Baja Verapaz, Guatemala. Euptychia lacandona A. Warren & Nakahara n. sp., is currently known from a single female specimen from Chiapas, Mexico. We discuss possible relationships between these two new species and other species of Euptychia.

. In polyandrous species, a male’s fertilization success is strongly related to the number of sperm he carries and the mass of the ejaculate substance transferred to the female. However, because ejacitlate prodttctioii is costly and limited, males are expected to allocate their ejaculates adaptively among matings. In order to clarify the ejaculate allocation pattern in the polyandrotis .swallowtail btitterfly, Papilio xulhm (Linnaeus, 1767), the spermato|3hore size and the number of sperm were coitnted just after the termination of the first and .second copulations. Virgin males slowly increased the size of their spermatophores with age after eclosion, while there was a negative correlation between the ratio of sperm transferred to the female and the number of sperm produced. Males seemed to keep some spertn for further matings. On the other hand, the spermatophore size rapidly increased in males that had mated once, and these males transferred most of the sperm in their sperm storage organs at their second mating, irrespective of the number of sperm stored. Therefore, males might use their own mating histor}' to tailor their ejaculates, probably assessing the probability of additional matings.
