Item type:Publication, Immature stages and biology of the Neotropical skipper Artines angelica Medeiros, 2019 (Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae: Hesperiini: Moncina)(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, 2025)In this study, we describe the immature life stages and two natural host plant associations of the neotropical skipper butterfly Artines angelica Medeiros, 2019 (Hesperiidae), in southeastern Peru. This represents the first published information regarding the basic biology of this species, and only the second for the genus Artines, highlighting our general lack of knowledge of this group. Specimens were collected at the Finca Las Piedras research station in Peru’s Madre de Dios department, where immatures were found and reared on two herbaceous bamboo species, Taquara micrantha (Kunth) I.L.C. Oliveira and R.P. Oliveira and Olyra latifolia L. (both Poaceae). The life cycle of the only individual A. artines found and reared from the egg stage spanned 55 days, during which the species went through six larval instars. The life and natural history information we provide may be useful in understanding the species diversity of the skipper subtribe Moncina, which is extremely diverse yet poorly studied to date.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Immature stages and host plant records for the skipper butterflies Xeniades orchamus (Cramer, 1777), Dubia dubia (Bell, 1932), and Tricrista canta (Evans, 1955) in the Peruvian Amazon (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae: Hesperiini)(Magnolia Press, 2025)We describe the immature biology of three skipper species in the tribe Hesperiini (Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae), Xeniades orchamus Cramer in the subtribe Hesperiina, and Dubia dubia Bell and Tricrista canta Evans in the subtribe Moncina. All species were recorded feeding on Guadua weberbaueri Pilger (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae). One larva of each species was collected in nature at Finca Las Piedras, a biological research station located in the Amazonian lowlands of Madre de Dios, Peru. Larvae were reared to adulthood in an onsite laboratory using leaves from G. weberbaueri. We present measurements, descriptions, durations, and photographs of recorded larval instars and pupae, illustrations of larval head capsules, and details of the host plant.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Telipogon cruentilabrum (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae): a new species from mid-western Ecuador, long misidentified as T. dendriticus(Magnolia Press, 2025)Telipogon cruentilabrum, from the cloud montane forest of mid-western Ecuador, is proposed as a new species. Plants of T. cruentilabrum are characterized by the yellow flowers with dark yellow longitudinal veins and tortuous, occasionally branched transversal lines; petals and lip with heavily undulate blades and irregularly reflexed margins; petals with a dark red-brown, swollen base; lip with a conspicuous radial, red-purple basal stain; a large, dark purple-red, elevated callus; anther profusely surrounded by three tufts of red-purple setae; and the stigma wide, sub-trapezoid, dark purple. This species has long been misidentified as T. dendriticus. Although in the holotype no callus is observed on the lip, and in its description and subsequent citations a callus is never mentioned. We provide here a detailed description, figures, distributional map and comparison with its morphological most similar species, T. tamboensis, and also include arguments to discriminate it from T. dendriticus.3
