Immature stages ofHipparchiaFabricius and the systematics of the‘Satyrusseries» (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)

摘要

Abstract.Characters of potential use from the eggs and larvae of four species ofHipparchia(subgeneraHipparchia, Parahipparchia, NeohipparchiaandPseudotergumia) are described. These characters, together with previously published information on larval, pupal and adult morphology, are used to construct a seventy‐one character matrix forHipparchiaand four other genera of the‘Satyrusseries’ (Miller, 1968):Arethusana, Kanetisa, ChazaraandSatyrus. The cladistic relationships among these genera and the relative contribution of adult and immature data sets are discussed. A list of possible synapomorphies of the immature stages of the‘Satyrusseries’ is
