A new species of the genus Hyalophora, H. mexicana sp. n., is described. Specimens from the Mexican Federal States of Zacatecas and Guanajuato as well as male genitalia are illustrated; a distribution map is included. The male holotype is deposited in Colección Nacional de Insectos, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad México, Mexico. Only male specimens are known so far. The new species is compared with other Hyalophora species. The description of the new species is based on studies of imaginal morphology including male genitalia and mtDNA (COI barcode). H. mexicana sp. n. is a very large species for the genus, and with its combination of typical characters such as reddish colouration, rounded, drop-shaped ocellular patches of the wings, a reduced, quarter-circle band of blue scales in the subapical ocellus of the forewing and details in male genitalia structures it can be separated easily from all hitherto known northern species. In addition, some taxonomic and nomenclatural problems in Hyalophora are addressed.
本文报道了透明藻属一新种。来自墨西哥萨卡特卡斯州和瓜纳华托州的标本以及男性生殖器。包括一个分布图。雄性全型存于Colección Nacional de incotos, universsidad Nacional Autónoma de msamicxico, Ciudad msamicxico, Mexico。到目前为止，只知道雄性的标本。并将新种与其它种进行了比较。新种的描述是基于对雄性生殖器和mtDNA (COI条形码)的影像形态学研究。墨西哥飞蛾是该属中一个非常大的物种，其典型特征如红色的颜色，翅膀上圆形的水滴状细胞斑，前翅下顶端细胞上缩小的四分之一圆形蓝色鳞片以及雄性生殖器结构的细节，可以很容易地将其与迄今为止已知的所有北方物种区分开来。此外，还讨论了透明藻属的一些分类学和命名学问题。

. Panoquina errans (Skinner, 1892), commonly known as the wandering skipper, is restricted to a narrow band of disjunct salt marsh habitat extending along the west coast of North America from Santa Barbara Co., California to the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico. A determination by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of whether it represents an endangered or threatened species could not be made owing to a paucity of information on its biological vulnerability and threat. Based on a three-year survey (2010-2012) in San Diego Co., California, the species was observed in nine coastal lagoons and a coastal bluff. At all sites within the study area there was a significant correlation between the maximum annual observations of P. errans and the total area occupied by the larval host plant Distichlis spicata (Poaceae). The primary habitat for P. errans is coastal lagoons and coastal bluffs (100% of observations); elevations less than 5 m above mean sea level (98% of observations); within 25 m of patches of D. spicata over 1 m 2 (75% of observations); and containing Frankenia , Cakile , or Heliotropium (95% of observations).

The Sutter Buttes are a small, isolated mountain group in the center of northern California’s Central Valley. Their location, nearly equidistant between the Coast Range and Sierra Nevada, make the Buttes biogeographically unique. Due to a histoi-y of private ownership public and scientihc access to these mountains has been limited and much remains to be known about the natural histoi^ and ecology of the area. A previous survey of Sutter Buttes butterflies recorded sitrprisingly few species, and was suspected to represent an incomplete record of the butterfly diversity of the area. In order to a.ssess the accuracy of this stirvey and explore the biogeographic relationships of the btttterflies of north-central California, we performed surveys of the btitterfly fauna of the Sutter Buttes. Over two years we performed bi-weekly transects and recorded species presence, abundance, and phenology as well as information about commetn butterfly host plants fotmd there. Utilizing comparisons of transect data from the Coast and Sierra Nevada Ranges we found that the Sutter Buttes butterfly fatma more closely resembles the Central Valley floor fauna than that of either nearby mountain range. Our results also indicate that the Sutter Buttes harbor a significantly depaiqterate butterfly fauna: several btitterfly species that are common at sites in the Central Valley, Coast Range, or the Sierra foothills are not present in the Sutter Buttes.

Little has been published on the natural history, immature stages and development of the Neotropical butterfly genus Methona Doubleday, 1847. In spite of being relatively common where it occurs, many aspects of the morphology and development of Methona themisto (Hübner, 1818) still are poorly known. Here we describe the morphology and duration of the egg, larval and pupal stages of Methona themisto in Southeastern Brazil. A single plant of Brunfelsia uniflora (Solanaceae) was chosen by the butterflies to lay their eggs, and larvae and pupae were reared on it. Adults were observed laying single, white eggs mostly on the abaxial surface of fresh leaves. All larval instars were black with 12 yellow bands, except for the first few days after molting, when they were dark brown with green heads and anal plates. The pupa was pendant, with a mean length of 2.24 cm. It was pale yellow with black stripes and the body was slightly bent where the abdomen joined the wing-pad apices. Mean duration of the pupal stage was approximately 14 d. We did not observe any relationship between pupal duration and weather conditions or the time of year.
