Pronophilina
Pronophilina is a Neotropical subtribe of butterflies of the subfamily Satyrinae. They are a species-rich group with highest diversity in the tropical and subtropical mountains, especially the Andes. Before 1970, they were poorly studied, but recent interest has resulted in high rates of species description from previously unexplored mountain ranges. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on their biology and ecology. Their relationship to other groups of Satyrine butterflies and their complex patterns of speciation within and among mountain ranges have led to several biogeographic discussions. Systematics and taxonomy Traditionally the name Pronophilini (or Pronophilidi) was used to describe a tribe of Neotropical satyrines, but modern arrangement place them as a subtribe within the tribe Satyrini of the Satyrinae.Lamas, G. 2004 ''Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera.

Satyrini
The Satyrini is one of the tribes of the subfamily Satyrinae. It includes about 2200 species and is therefore the largest tribe in the subfamily which comprises 2500 species. Distribution Satyrini butterflies have a worldwide distribution, but the distribution pattern differs between subtribes. Some subtribes are almost restricted to a single biogeographic region, such as the Pronophilina, which is found only in Andean cloud forests from Venezuela to Bolivia. Biology The larval food plants of many species in this tribe are grasses, i.e. Poaceae. It is considered that the Satyrini diversified at about the same time as the grasses did, and that the radiation of the tribe is therefore closely related to the evolution of the grasses. In contrast, the tribe has a few genera which show uncommon feeding preferences. Three genera, ''Euptychia'', ''Ragadia'' and ''Acrophtalmia'', feed on Lycopsida, and moreover, some species of ''Euptychia'' have been reported to feed on mosse ...

Theodor Otto Thieme
Theodor Alexander Otto Thieme ( 24 January 1857, Oldisleben – 1 July 1907, Berlin?) was a German entomologist. Thieme was a teacher (oberlehrer). He specialised in the Coleoptera and Satyrinae of the neotropics. His work on Pronophilina is especially important. His collections are variously held by Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, Zoologische Staatssammlung München and Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Professor Dr. Otto Thieme first studied theology and classical philology Classics or classical studies is the study of classical antiquity. In the Western world, classics traditionally refers to the study of Classical Greek and Roman literature and their related original languages, Ancient Greek and Latin. Classics ... at the universities of Jena and Leipzig. He worked for some years at a German private school in Viborg then in Finland and later in the service of higher education in the city of Berlin. He collected insects in Italy, France and Switzerland, then trave ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Argyrophorus Argenteus01
''Argyrophorus'' is a butterfly genus from the subfamily Satyrinae in the family Nymphalidae. It is distributed between Chile, Argentina and Perú. The systematic and circumscription of the genus is disputed. Taxonomy and systematics Type species by monotypy is ''Argyrophorus argenteus'' Blanchard, 1852.Blanchard (1852) ''Hist. fís. pol. Chile'' 7:30 Lamas recognised four species in the Neotropics, including the type species and three undescribed species.Gerardo Lamas 2004 ''Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera. CheckList: Part 4A Hesperioidea-Papilionoidea'' Scientific Publishers. Several species of southern temperate satyrinae have been assigned initially to the genus ''Argyrophorus'', but taxonomic work during the 1950s and 1960s placed many of these in distinct genera.G.
