Abstract

Seven new species of the Neotropical hairstreak genus Oenomaus are described: Oenomaus mancha Busby & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador); Oenomaus gwenish Robbins & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Panama); Oenomaus lea Faynel & Robbins, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador); Oenomaus myrteana Busby, Robbins & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador); Oenomaus mentirosa Faynel & Robbins, sp. n. (type locality Peru); Oenomaus andi Busby & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador) and Oenomaus moseri Robbins & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Brazil, Santa Catarina). For each new Oenomaus species, we present diagnostic characters and notes on its habitat and biology. We illustrate adults, genitalia, and distribution. New distributional and biological data are presented for 21 previously described Oenomaus species. Oenomaus melleus guyanensis Faynel, 2008 is treated as a new synonym of Oenomaus melleus melleus (Druce, 1907). Females are described and associated with males for ten species using a variety of factors, including mitochondrial COI DNA "barcode" sequences. We summarize the reasons why the number of recognized Oenomaus species has grown in the past decade from one species to 28 species. Finally, we overview the habitats that Oenomaus species occupy and note that the agricultural pest on Annonaceae, Oenomaus ortygnus, is the only Oenomaus species that regularly occurs in greatly disturbed habitats.

Introduction

The widespread Neotropical hairstreak (Cramer) is a pest of cultivated soursop ( L.) and relatives (Annonaceae), and aspects of its biology have been documented for nearly a century (e.g., Dampf 1929; Fennah 1937; Ballou 1945; Guagliumi 1965, 1967; Araque 1967; d’Araújo e Silva et al. 1967–1968; Leal 1970; Kendall 1975; Domínguez 1978; Peña et al. 2002; Castañeda-Vildózola et al. 2011). In contrast, the taxonomy of the genus Hübner (Lycaenidae: Theclinae) was not addressed until recently. was considered to be a monotypic genus of uncertain affinity (Clench 1964) until Robbins (2004) listed 22 Neotropical species (18 undescribed). Shortly thereafter, Faynel (2006, 2008) and Faynel and Moser (2008) documented the substantive variation of male genitalic structures in and described 12 new species from male holotypes. However, associating females with the males was problematic for many of these species. A close phylogenetic relationship between and Robbins was suggested when Robbins and Duarte (2004) described the latter genus. However, the distinction between these two generahas been disputed because of different interpretations of male genitalic morphology, which has resulted in the uncertain generic placement for a few species (Faynel 2007; Faynel et al. 2011). The species level taxonomy of has been treated (Faynel et al. 2011), but a similar overview for is lacking. We present new species level taxonomic information for in this paper. We describe seven new species. Next, we update information on the distribution, habitat, variation, and biology of the 21 species that were previously describedPageBreak in or transferred to (Robbins 2004; Faynel 2007; Faynel et al. 2011). We also associate females with males for many species based on male-female pairs collected in copula or on similarity of ventral wing patterns, geographic distribution, and DNA ‘barcode’ sequences (the mitochondrial COI gene). The morphology of newly associated females is detailed. With the species level taxonomy of recently reviewed (Faynel et al. 2011), the goal of this paper is do the same kind of review for . This information will serve as the foundation for a phylogenetic analysis of and .

Materials and methods

Genitalic terms follow those in Klots (1970), as modified for the Eumaeini in Robbins (1991). Wing veins are named following Comstock (1918), and wing cells are named by the veins that border them. Otherwise, morphological terms follow Snodgrass (1935). Abbreviations used repeatedly in the text are FW: forewing, HW: hindwing, D: dorsal, V: ventral and SD: standard deviation. Brazilian states are noted by their standard two letter abbreviations. Illustrated adults of are noted in the material examined sections, and each genitalia drawing is of the adult illustrated. The structure of the male genitalia valvae in is complex, for which reason we present them in ventral, lateral, and dorsal views. Biogeographical zones follow Brown (1982), who partitioned the forested continental Neotropics into the Transandean Region, Andean Region, Amazon Region, and Atlantic Region. Larval food plant nomenclature follows the Tropicos database of the Missouri Botanical Garden (http://www.Tropicos.org, accessed April 2012). Following Holdridge (1967), we classify lowland forests as humid/wet (> 200 cm annual precipitation) or dry/deciduous (100–200 cm annual precipitation). Many eumaeines display male territorial behavior on hilltops (Nicolay 1971; Alcock and O’Neill 1987; Prieto and Dahners 2006, 2009; Robbins et al. 2012). Males wait on hilltops for receptive females to fly through the territory and “defend” these areas by flying at other males that enter the territory. Recorded times from our fieldwork for hilltopping behavior are the standard time at that locality. Finally, traps baited with decaying fish attract some lycaenid species and not others. We note the gender for each species which has been collected using fish-baited traps. The ventral wing pattern in is sexually monomorphic, so associating the sexes of species with distinct ventral wing patterns, such as , is straightforward. However, a majority of species have a ventral wing pattern that is similar to that of (Hewitson). Among these, some can be associated because they have distinct ventral wing pattern elements, such as those of (Faynel 2008), or because a mating pair was collected in copula. In other cases, we associate females with males if at least three of the following four criteria are met: (1) females have a ventral wing pattern that is indistinguishable from that of males, (2) females have a geoPageBreakgraphic distribution that is similar to that of males, (3) both sexes are found in a locality where other species with the same wing pattern are unrecorded, and (4) divergence of DNA “barcode” sequences between the sexes is less than 2% (see next paragraph). The mitochondrial COI gene sequence (commonly called a DNA “barcode”) has been useful, when combined with other characters, in distinguishing lepidopteran species in a single area (e.g., Hebert et al. 2004; Hajibabaei et al. 2006; Janzen et al. 2009). Because genitalic and wing pattern characters generally provide clear species boundaries in , our purpose in determining COI gene sequences was to aid in associating females with males, as noted.

New species

A distinguishing trait of and among members of the Section of the Eumaeini is the lack of an orange cubital spot (Robbins and Duarte 2004, Faynel et al. 2011). Of the seven new species described in this paper, six lack the spot while some specimens of the seventh species may have a vestigial remnant composed of a few orange scales (Figs 1–11). and are distinguished from each other by shape of the valvae in lateral aspect, but interpretation of this morphology has varied for some species (Robbins and Duarte 2004, Faynel 2007, PageBreakFaynel et al. 2011). However, six of the newly described species have non-triangular, bifurcate valvae in lateral aspect (Figs 20–25), which is characteristic of . The seventh species is known only from a female, but the similarities in its wing pattern (Figs 2–3) and genitalia (Figs 28–29) to two other species support its generic placement. For these reasons, the following new species are described in .

Type-locality.

Ecuador: Sucumbíos, 5 km Puerto Libre-La Bonita Road, 0°13.0'N, 77°29.3'W, 700 m. The road going west from Puerto Libre increases in elevation as the terrain becomes hillier. The collecting spot was in wet forest and was easily accessed by a muddy logging trail. Since 2005, logging has continued, leaving very few tall trees in the once beautiful forest.

Description, diagnosis and recognition as a distinct species.

Male FW length: 20.8 mm (SD = 1.9, N = 2). Female FW length: 19.4 mm (SD = 0.5, N = 3). Wing pattern (Figs 1, 2) and genitalia (Figs 20, 26) illustrated. , PageBreak,and (named below) share a unique ventral wing pattern in which the VFW postmedian line (displaced basally, but by tradition still called the postmedian line) is composed of “disjointed” large black spots on a gray ground color (Fig. 3 for and Figs 2, 4 for in Faynel 2006). differs from by (1) a black patch in the distal part of the VHW cell Sc+R1-Rs, elongated basally, (2) no black mark in VFW cell Costa-Sc, and (3) a black band crossing the VFW discal cell. In addition, females of are a brighter blue dorsally, while the blue on the DFW of males is somewhat less expansive with the scent pad not completely encircled by blue scales as in . Male and female genitalia of and also differ (Figs 25, 28 for in Faynel 2006). In particular, the dorsal part of the valvae of the male genitalia in lateral aspect is shorter and has a more sharply tapered posterior end in ventral view. In the female, the bifidPageBreak posterior end of the lamella postvaginalis is less marked and the anterior end of the ductus bursae is curved more sharply. One paratype from Ecuador has been barcoded (CF-LYC-190), and its sequence is 3.5% divergent from the sequences of two males of (CF-LYC-147 from Peru and CF-LYC-146 from Mexico, see Table 1) while the two sequences differ by only 1.5%. and are sympatric in eastern Ecuador in Napo Province at approximately 450 m.

Etymology.

The name of this species is derived from the Spanish word “mancha”, which means spot, referring to the very distinctive, elongated black spot in VHW cell Sc+R1-Rs. The name is a feminine noun in apposition.

Habitat and distribution.

occurs widely in wet forest in eastern Ecuador at elevations ranging from 400 to 1100 m (Fig. 46). Although it is sympatric with in wet forest, it does not occur in the highly disturbed habitats in which sometimes occurs. It is yet an open question whether is a lowland or lower montane species. , eighth abdominal tergum: ventral view, anterior edge at bottom. 38 ♂ (holotype, Ecuador) 39 ♂ (holotype, Peru) 40 ♂ (holotype, Peru) 41 ♂ (holotype, Ecuador) 42 ♂ (holotype, Ecuador) 43 ♀ (paratype, Ecuador) 44 ♂ (holotype, Brazil) 45 Male genitalia in lateral view: (left) and holotypes.

The wing patterns of and are distinguished from that of by the black patch in the distal part of the VHW cell Sc+R1-Rs and by the absence of a black mark in VFW cell Costa-Sc. However, the ventral wing pattern of differs from that of by (1) the lack of a black band crossing the VFW discal cell, (2) the absence of a black spot in VFW cell M3-Cu1, and (3) the presence of two black spots of equal size along VHW veins mdc and ldc instead of a single large black spot at vein mdc with no mark or a faint vestigial mark at vein ldc. Thefemalegenitalia of (Fig. 27) are similar to those of . We hesitated to describe this species because we cannot assess its intraspecific variation. However, the series of 10 females of show little variation in the traits that distinguish them from the holotype of . For this reason, a hypothesis of specific distinctness is better supported than a hypothesis of geographical variation. The holotype of is a unique and distinctive female, for which reason it gives us great pleasure to name this species for entomologist Dr. Jennifer (Gwen) Shlichta. The name is a feminine noun in apposition. is probably a lower montane species, so far known only from wet forest at 1000 m elevation in Darién, Panama (Fig. 46).

Moreover, the black spot in VHW cell Cu1-Cu2 is usually more apparent in than in . Males of alsodiffer genitalically from those of (Fig. 26 in Faynel 2006) by (1) a longer and wider saccus, (2) the dorsal part of the valvae in lateral aspect shorter than the ventral part, and not pointed at the posterior end, (3) a straight penis in lateral view, and (4) no tooth at the end of the penis. The eighth tergum shows no difference from that of . Lastly, the divergence of “barcode” DNA sequence data between (CF-LYC-005) and (CF-LYC-003) is more than 6% (Table 1). The female of is unknown.

Its genitalia, especially the valvae, are very similar to those of (D’Abrera) and Faynel & Moser. is the only known species with red scales at the base on the VHW. In addition, it has a distinctive white spot along the VFW costa in cell Sc-R1. This feature occurs in no other Eumaeini except (Hewitson) where there are two white markings placed side by side in the cell between the costa and Sc. In male species, the eighth tergum is generally rectangular, but the anterior and posterior edges may be modified. In , the male eighth tergum has a slightly modified anterior edge which looks like a shallow “W”. The female of is unknown. The name of this species comes from the Spanish word ‘mentirosa’, which means a feminine liar. We picked this name because the underside wing pattern resembles that of (Druce) and (Druce), but this resemblance appears to be a false indicator of relationship. We treat the name as a feminine noun in apposition. is known from lowland wet forest in Amazonian Peru (Fig. 47).

Wing pattern (Figs 8, 9) and genitalia (Figs 24, 29) illustrated. The ventral wing pattern of is similar to that of many other , but this species is distinguished by (1) a white spot on the basal side of VHW cell Rs-M1, (2) an elongated double valvae of equal size, (3) a large posterior part of the saccus in lateral view, (4) a swollen terminal end of the penis, and (5) modified anterior and posterior edges of the male 8th tergum (detailed under remarks). This species is named for Andrea (Andi) Busby, wife of Robert Busby, in appreciation for her long standing support of his research. The name is a feminine noun in apposition. Valvae structure in is very similar to that found in Faynel, suggesting that this new species belongs to the subgroup (as characterized by Faynel and Moser 2008). Species in this subgroup have a modified 8th tergum (except for Faynel & Moser, 2008). In the male of (Fig. 42), the posterior edge of the 8th tergum has a deep depression in the middle, while the anterior edge is shaped like a wide “W”. In the female, the posterior edge is nearly straight but is split in the middle. The anterior edge is similar to that of the male, but is laterally sclerotized (Fig. 43). The white spot on the basal side of VHW cell Rs-M1 occurs in only a few other species including (Hewitson), (Druce), Faynel & Moser, and Faynel & Moser. Regardless of whether the presence of this spot is evidence of relationship, it is very useful for separating from the other species of the subgroup. is a species of montane forest (> 1300 m) that is recorded from Ecuador to Bolivia (Fig. 47).

Biology.

Robbins observed two males of exhibiting territorial behavior on a hill top from 14:23 hours to 14:48 hours at Serra do Japi (SP, Brazil) on 12 April 1991 (vouchers in USNM). A male of was reared by Hipólito Ferreira Paulino Neto in Itirapina, SP, Brazil on (A. St. Hil) Benth. and Hook. f. (Annonaceae), a plant of frequent occurrence in the cerrado. We identified the male from a digital image and from the locality where it was reared. However, it is possible that it is a male of , even though this species is not known to occur as far north as São Paulo. occurs in lowland and lower montane forest in southern Brazil (Fig. 46).

Intraspecific variation.

Despite substantive geographical variation in , we lack sufficient material to determine if this variation might represent more than one species. Females from Venezuela and western Ecuador have more extensive dorsal blue and a somewhat lighter color than females from Panama, French Guiana, eastern Ecuador, and Peru. In addition, males from western Ecuador have more blue on the dorsal forewings than males from eastern Ecuador. However, this variation is small compared to that between males of and . For example, the forewing dorsal blue area never reaches the cells from vein R3 to Cu1 as it does in . Structure of the female genitalia also varies geographically. Females from Venezuela and Peru have two processes at the posterior end of the lamella postvaginalis while a female from French Guiana had none (see Faynel 2006, p. 29).

Behavior/biology.

Males exhibited territorial behavior on a hilltop in Panama (Canal Area, Gamboa, Cerro Pelado) from 13:15 to 15:30 hours (19 males, 10 different days during the months of January, February, March, April, August, September, October, and December, 15 vouchers in USNM). Similarly, territorial males on a hilltop in Brazil (Santa Catarina, Villa Nova, Serrinha) were observed from 14:40 to 14:55 hours (3 males, March, 3 vouchers in USNM). Females are associated with males by their ventral wing pattern, which is unique among the Eumaeini. Characters were noted for distinguishing the ventral wing pattern of from that of .

PageBreakPageBreakPageBreakA female paratype of from Pará, Brazil was designated and illustrated in D’Abrera (1995) without definitive supporting evidence. This female has a different dorsal wing pattern than the female from Pará that we have associated with the male. We are skeptical of the biological validity of this paratype designation. Four males and seven females from French Guiana and Brazil, Pará were barcoded. One male (CF-LYC-046) is 6.7% divergent from the other three males, but its sequence is identical with that from a male of (CF-LYC-020).

Taxonomy.

Faynel (2007, 2008) partitioned this species into a Transandean Region (terminology from Brown 1982) nominate subspecies and an Amazonian Region subspecies based on size and color of scales at the base of the VFW. The male genitalia of each taxon were the same. As noted in the next paragraph, the new material examined does not confirm this recognition of two taxa. For example, the Costa Rican specimens resemble the Amazonian ones. For this reason, we synonymize Faynel with (Druce), new synonym. The wing pattern of is highly variable. The type from Colombia and two specimens from Nicaragua and Venezuela are relatively large (male FW length = 16.8 mm, SD = 1.3, N = 3). They have a white spot on the basal part of VHW cell Rs-M1, no reddish scales on the basal part of ventral wing, and a black spot in VHW cell Cu1-Cu2. The specimens from French Guiana, Guyana, Brazil (PA), Venezuela and Peru (UC) are smaller (male FW length = 14.1 mm, SD = 0.4, N = 5). They have a white spot on the basal part of VHW cell Rs-M1, reddish scales on the basal part of ventral wing, and no black spot in VHW cell Cu1-Cu2. The malesPageBreak from Costa Rica are also relatively small (male FW length = 14.7 mm, SD = 1.6, N = 3). They have no white spot on the basal part of VHW cell Rs-M1, no reddish scales on the basal part of ventral wing and a black spot in VHW cell Cu1-Cu2. Described by Faynel (2008). Faynel & Moser http://species-id.net/wiki/Oenomaus_morroensis Described by Faynel and Moser (2008) from five males from Brazil (SC, RS), but no other specimens are known. It appears to be a species of lower montane and subtropical forest. A small white spot on VHW cell Sc+R1-Rs that is displaced basally (Faynel and Moser 2008) is present in the holotype, but not in the paratypes. Although is unrecorded north of Santa Catarina, a reared male from São Paulo (see under ) could possibly be this species. Unknown. One paratype has been barcoded (CF-LYC-015). As already noted, this sequence is 5.0% divergent from the sympatric and superficially similar . Faynel & Moser http://species-id.net/wiki/Oenomaus_nigra This species occurs in wet lowland forest.

It is the most common species in collections and PageBreakhas been recorded from the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, French Guiana, Surinam, Guyana, Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and many states throughout Brazil. As noted in the introduction, this species is a well-known pest of commercial Annonaceae. The blacks spots on ventral wings vary in size and the blue on the dorsal wings vary from light cyan to dark purple. The “ Draudt” phenotype from western Mexico is smaller and duller than individuals from the remainder of its range. Males were territorial on hilltops between 14:00–15:15 hours in Panama (Canal Area, hilltops in Paraíso, 7 males during June and August, 6 vouchers in USNM) and between 14:29 and 15:15 on Serrinha in Brazil (hilltop in Santa Catarina, Villa Nova, 200 m, 3 males in March, vouchers in USNM).

Behavior/ biology.

Territorial behavior on a hilltop in Panama (Canal Area, Gamboa, Cerro Pelado) was observed in January and August at 15:00 hours (vouchers in USNM). Two mating pairs were also collected on the same hilltop in January and March at 15:00 hours (vouchers in USNM). We illustrate adult females that were collected in copula (Figs 18–19) and the genitalia of one (Fig. 37). A female from Brazil, Pará (CF-LYC-064), which has a wing pattern similar to the females collected in copula, is 3.1% divergent from a male from Peru (CF-LYC-085).

Discussion

Taxonomy. A decade ago was a monotypic genus, but it now consists of 28 described species (albeit, it is still unclear if and belong to or ). Further, if a phylogenetic analysis shows that is paraphyletic in terms of , which is possible because was distinguished by character states that may be plesiomorphic, then Oenomaus will be one of the most species-rich eumaeine genera with 40 species (Robbins 2004). There are three biological reasons why the diversity of was not recognized until recently. First, about ¾ of the species have an indistinguishable, or barely distinguishable, ventral wing pattern that is similar to that of (e.g., Figs 12–19). Among species with this wing pattern, there is a great diversity of male genitalic forms that were first documented by Faynel (2006, 2008) and Faynel and Moser (2008). Second, the ventral wing pattern of a few species is different from that of (e.g., Figs 1–7), but similar to that of sympatric species that are now considered to be distantly related. For example, Draudt (1919–1920) in Seitz grouped (the type species of ), now placed in the Section, with (Stoll), now placed in the Section (Robbins 2004). Similarly, he PageBreakplaced in a group with (Hewitson) in the Section. , which is described in this paper, closely resembles while , also newly described, has a ventral wing pattern that resembles species in , Hübner, Janthecla Robbins & Venables, and Hübner (documented in Faynel et al. 2011). Third, many species are exceedingly rare in collections. Indeed, three species are still known from only one individual each. DNA barcoding. Thirty-eight males belonging to 19 species have been successfully “barcoded” (>200 bp) (extraction and sequencing methods given in Hajibabaei et al. 2006). For those nine species for which there is more than one barcode (Table 1), intraspecific divergence calculated on the Bold web site (http://www.boldsystems.org/views/login.php) using the Kimura 2 parameter with sequences aligned by BOLD varied from 0% to 1.6%. Interspecific divergence (Table 1) varied from 0.8% to 9.7% (672 comparisons, mean distance: 6.1%). It was usually greater than 4% except in the species group (, , ), where it was about 1%. Similarity in COI sequences among closely related species is well-established (e.g., Burns et al. 2007). Male-female associations. Associating males and females in is sometimes very difficult. Only eight of the 28 recognized species previously had the sexes associated. In this paper we associate the sexes of another ten species based on mating pairs collected in copula and on similarity of ventral wing patterns, habitats, geographic distributions, and mitochondrial COI DNA sequences. The DNA “barcodes” have great potential (e.g., Janzen et al 2009), especially if there are large samples from geographically diverse sites. Biology. is a well-known pest of cultivated soursop (also called guanábana, L., Annonaceae) and relatives (e.g., Dampf 1929, Fennah 1937, Ballou 1945, Guagliumi 1965, 1967, Araque 1967, d’Araújo e Silva et al. 1967–1968, Leal 1970, Kendall 1975, Domínguez 1978, Peña et al. 2002, Castañeda-Vildózola et al. 2011). As noted in the results of this paper, two other species have now been reared, and Annonaceae (, ) is a food plant for each. Although data are yet too scanty to ask why is the only species that has been recorded as a pest on cultivated Annonaceae, we note that it is also the only species that is regularly found in disturbed habitats. Most species inhabit relatively undisturbed lowland wet forest, but some species seem to be restricted to other habitats. is montane, being found so far only above 1450 m, while is known only from lower montane forest. occurs so far only in subtropical and lower montane forest. has been found only in scrubby deciduous forest. A number of other species have broader habitat requirements. Some wet lowland species also occur in montane habitats, for which and are representative examples. Others, such as , , and , may inhabit dry deciduous forest. As previously noted, is the only species that is regularly found in both undisturbed and disturbed habitats.PageBreak
