Junonia
''Junonia'' is a genus of nymphalid butterflies, described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. They are commonly known as buckeyes, pansies or commodores. This genus flies on every continent except Antarctica and Europe. The genus contains roughly 30 to 35 species. Description These butterflies are medium to large (wingspan 40–110 mm). The ground colour is brown or grey suffused blue. Spots on the wings are orange, blue or pink and sometimes large. Many of the species can occur in several colour Polymorphism (biology), forms. The head is of moderate size with smooth, prominent eyes. The palpi are rather long, sharply pointed, ascending, generally convergent and scaly, sometimes more or less hairy. The antennae are of moderate length, generally with a rather short, abruptly formed club. The thorax is robust, ovate, rather sparingly clothed with hairs. The wing characters are: large, broad, variable in outline. Forewing: costa more or less arched, sometimes very strongly so; apical p ...

Precis (butterfly)
''Precis'' is a genus of nymphalid butterflies that Jacob Hübner described in 1819. They are commonly known as commodores and are found in Afrotropical realm, Africa. Two species are Endemic species, endemic to Geography of Madagascar, Madagascar. Description ''Precis'' are medium-to-large butterflies (wingspan up to 5 cm). The upperside ground colour is black with white, pink, green, or blue spots and bands, the upperside may also have a brownish ground colour. The wings often have eyespot (mimicry), eyespots.

Protogoniomorpha
''Protogoniomorpha'' is a genus of nymphalid butterflies found in the Afrotropical realm, commonly known as mother-of-pearls. Taxonomy ''Protogoniomorpha'' was viewed as part of '' Salamis'' by Ackery et al. (1995). Based on phylogenetic research, the group was reinstated as distinct genus, with some members possibly needing further reassignment. Species * ''Protogoniomorpha anacardii'' (Linnaeus, 1758) — clouded mother-of-pearl * ''Protogoniomorpha cytora'' (Doubleday, 1847) — western blue beauty * '' Protogoniomorpha duprei'' Vinson, 1863 — Madagascan mother-of-pearl (sometimes listed as a subspecies of ''P. anacardii'') * ''Protogoniomorpha parhassus'' (Druce, 1782) — common mother-of-pearl or forest mother-of-pearl * ''Protogoniomorpha temora ''Protogoniomorpha temora'', the blue mother-of-pearl or eastern blue beauty, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae.

Salamis (butterfly)
''Salamis'' is a genus of nymphalid butterflies. They are commonly known as mother-of-pearls and are found in Africa. Salamis was a nymph in Greek mythology, the daughter of the river god Asopus and Metope, daughter of the Ladon, another river god. Taxonomy The earliest description of species in this genus were published in the second half of the 18th century by Linnaeus, Drury and Fabricius in the genus ''Papilio''. In 1833, Boisduval created the genus ''Salamis'' with the description of '' S. augustina''. The three previously described species of ''Papilio'' ('' P. anacardii'', '' P. parhassus'' and '' P. cacta'') were then added to the genus ''Salamis''. Similarly, multiple species first described in the 19th century in the related genus of ''Junonia ''Junonia'' is a genus of nymphalid butterflies, described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. They are commonly known as buckeyes, pansies or commodores. This genus flies on every continent except Antarctica and Europe. The genus co ...

Junonia Genoveva
''Junonia genoveva'', the common mangrove buckeye or mangrove buckeye, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. The species was first described by Pieter Cramer in 1780. It is found in South America and possibly into Central America. The wingspan is 45–57 mm. The butterfly is easily confused with '' Junonia evarete'', the tropical buckeye, also found in South America. Not only have the common names mangrove and tropical buckeye been confused, but the two species of butterflies themselves have been sometimes misidentified in past literature. Recent consensus designates ''Junonia genoveva'' the mangrove buckeye and ''Junonia evarete'' the tropical buckeye. Recent research and reclassification has determined that these species occur in South America. The species '' Junonia neildi'', the West Indian mangrove buckeye, was formerly considered a subspecies of ''Junonia genoveva''. Its split from ''Junonia genoveva'' leaves ''Junonia genoveva'' as a South American species. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Enzio Reuter
Enzio Rafael Reuter (30 March 1867, in Turku – 11 February 1951, in Helsinki) was a Finland, Finnish entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera. He wrote ''Über die Palpen der Rhopalocera: Ein Beitrag zur Erkenntnis der verwandtschaftlichen Beziehungen unter den Tagfaltern'', an important work on the classification of lepidoptera in which some higher level taxa are erected. Reuter was a cell biology, cytologist and student of phylogenetics. His collection is conserved in the Natural History Museum of Helsinki. Reuter was a correspondent with and admirer of the German Darwinist Ernst Haeckel: "In 1868 Haeckel had given his first edition of the natural history of creation and this work, more than any other, made Darwinism to a generally accepted world view… Reuter’s dissertation carries a label of its time. It is a typical phylogenetic handling, inspired by Haeckel’s spirit that at the close of the century totally dominated the biological research."Federley H., 1951. Li ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxa ranked above species are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
