The butterfly genus Vanessa provides an ideal test of this concept, as it contains some of the most cosmopolitan and vagile species of butterflies on the planet, as well as some highly restricted taxa. Given the age of these groups, this arrangement offers a special opportunity to examine the relationship between vagility and phylogeny in generating novel taxa; specifically, does the vagility of some lineages impede allopatric speciation, leaving restricted clades more speciose? A phylogenetic hypothesis is proposed for all species belonging to the butterfly genus Vanessa based on DNA sequences from one mitochondrial and eight nuclear gene regions. The resulting topology shows very little conflict among gene regions, with five well-supported clades corresponding to morphologically consistent species groups. The data very strongly indicate a polyphyletic genus Antanartia, and thus to preserve monophyly two species previously assigned to Antanartia are transferred to Vanessa, Vanessa hippomene comb.n. and Vanessa dimorphica comb.n., resulting in a total of 22 species placed in Vanessa. A biogeographical analysis shows that in many cases the most geographically restricted species are sister to geographically widespread species, suggesting dispersal and allopatric speciation. Surprisingly, in almost all cases the divergences between widespread and restricted species are quite old (> 5 Ma), suggesting long-term isolation and stability of both vagile and sedentary species, despite the high (even intercontinental) vagility of many extant species and, by extension, ancestral species. The biogeography of Vanessa suggests that species vagility and allopatry do not fully explain the forces governing cladogenesis in this remarkable genus.}, keywords = {branch support, butterflies, COLONIZATION, data sets, diversification, HAWAII, historical biogeography, LEPIDOPTERA, morphology, Nymphalidae, Pacific Insects, Papilionoidea, phylogenetic-relationships, radiation, sequence data, systematics, Vanessa}, isbn = {0307-6970}, author = {Wahlberg, N. and Rubinoff, D.} } @article {244, title = {Notes on eastern butterflies}, journal = {Transactions of the Entomological Society of LondonTransactions of the Entomological Society of London}, volume = {4}, year = {1869}, note = {Atella gaberti from Tahiti}, pages = {321-349}, keywords = {distribution, LEPIDOPTERA, Pacific Insects, Papilionoidea}, author = {Wallace} } @article {253, title = {Nomenclature of some butterfly species}, journal = {New Zealand EntomologistNew Zealand Entomologist}, volume = {3(4)}, year = {1965}, note = {FULL TEXT (but with errors from OCR transcription):Family NYMPHALIDAESubfamily DANAINAEDanaus Kluk, 1802Danaus plexippus (Linnaeus, 1758)In the early days of New Zealand entomology the {\textquoteright}monarch{\textquoteright} butterfly had a variety of names but in more recent years Danaida and Danais have been used for the genus. The names listed here were in the "Official List of Generic Names in Zoology" (and the corresponding list of specific names) published by the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature in 1958, and therefore must be used.Danaus chrysippus petilia (Stoll, 1790)Similarly this species belongs in Danaus.Danaus hamata hamata (Macleay, 1826)This Australian species, of the same genus, was recorded, in 1944, 1950, and 1961, in New Zealand, as Danaus melissa hamata, a combination which is now incorrect.Subfamily SATYRINAEThe two dark New Zealand mountain butterflies have long been known as Erebia pluto Fereday, 1872, and Erebia butleri (Fereday, 1879). The generic placing of these species is to be revised in a separate paper.Subfamily NYMPHALINAEPrecis villida calybe (Godart, 1819)This is the established name of the Australian form of Precis villida Fabricius which is an occasional immigrant in New Zealand.Family LYCAENIDAELycaena sallustius (Fabricius, 1793)Lycaena boldenarum White, 1862Lycaena feredayi (Bates, 1867) (= L. enysii (Butler, 1876) ) These three New Zealand species have previously been placed in Chrysophanus in New Zealand publications. However, Barnes and Lindsey (1922) placed all the {\textquoteright}coppers{\textquoteright} in the genus Lycaena Fabricius, and Klots (1936) listed the three endemic New Zealand species in that genus. Although they do appear to belong to Lycaena these species present a case of discontinuous distribution as all other species of the genus occur in the holarctic region, except for two in Africa. Longstaff (1912) synonymised enysii Butler with feredayi Bates after comparison of type specimens.Zizeeria otis labradus (Godart, 1824)Contrary to the above Lycaenid species the New Zealand {\textquoteright}blue{\textquoteright}, which occurs in Australia and elsewhere, has long been known in New Zealand as Lycaena labradus. As long ago as 1910 Chapman (1910) made labradus the type species of his new genus Zizina. I have compared the male genitalia of the New Zealand blue butterfly with Chapman{\textquoteright}s description and excellent photographs of Zizina labradus and find them to be conspecific. Since 1910, outside New Zealand, the species has been known under several combinations such as Zizera labradus, Zizina labradus, and Zizeeria labradus. Zizera was an early genus erected by Moore in 1881. Zizeeria, Zizina, and Zizula were described by Chapman in 1910. Zizula is distinct but there have been differences of opinion as to whether Zizeeria and Zizina are separate.Another point arises from Chapman{\textquoteright}s work of 1910. Chapman discussed the identity of the species named otis by Fabricius in 1787. He gave his opinion that otis is a synonym of labradus and listed otis as a variety of labradus. However, otis predates labradus so the species should be known as otis Fabricius, 1787. Corbet and Pendlebury, revised by Corbet (1956), separated Zizeeria and Zizina recording Zizina otis in New Zealand and elsewhere. Couchman (1956) recorded Zizina otis labradus. Common (1964) has considered Zizeeria and Zizina synonymous recording the species as Zizeeria otis labradus. I am in agreement with his generic placing.}, pages = {18-20}, abstract = {There is no doubt that the few species of butterflies in New Zealand are easily distinguished and can be quickly recognised.

This view was recently challenged by reports of extremely high infection frequencies in three butterfly species, raising the prospect that male killers, by making males rare, might drive many features of host ecology and evolution. To assess this hypothesis, it is necessary to evaluate how often male killers actually produce a highly female-biased population sex ratio in nature, which requires both high prevalence of infection and high penetrance of action. To this end, we surveyed South Pacific and Southeast Asian populations of Hypolimnas bolina, a butterfly in which extreme prevalence of male-killing Wolbachia bacteria has recently been recorded. Our results indicate that highly female-biased populations are common in Polynesia, with 6 out of 12 populations studied having in excess of 70\% of females infected with a fully efficient male killer. However, heterogeneity is extreme in Polynesia, with the male-killing Wolbachia absent from three populations. In contrast to the Polynesian situation, Wolbachia does not kill males in any of the three Southeast Asian populations studied, despite its very high prevalence there. We conclude that male killers are likely to have significant ongoing ecological and evolutionary impact in 6 of the 15 populations surveyed. The causes and consequences of the observed spatial variation are discussed with respect to host resistance evolution, host ecology and interference with additional symbionts.}, keywords = {French Polynesia, Hypolimnas, LEPIDOPTERA, male-killing wolbachia, Nymphalidae, Pacific Insects, Papilionoidea, Wolbachia}, isbn = {1365-294X}, author = {Charlat, Sylvain and Hornett, Emily A. and Dyson, Emily A. and Ho, Patrick P.
