137. Hemming (1934), Gen. Names Holarct. Butterflies 1: 158, made a first reviser choice
ofAstraptes Hübner, [1826] over Telegonus Hübner, [1826]. dos Passos (1959), Lepid. News 12(5-6):
195-198, employed the index spelling of aulestis, thereby avoiding homonymy, but this is subject to a
review of Cramer names given a binomial combination in the index. Hemming (1967), Bull. Brit. Mus.
(Nat. Hist.) Entomol. Suppl. 9: 63, incorrectly determined that Papilio narcosius Stoll, 1790, Aanhangs.
Werk Uitl. Kapellen Pieter Cramer (3): 171, pl. 39, fig. 8; 384 (index), was the oldest available name
for Papilio aulestes Cramer, 1780, based on this perceived homonymy. Steinhauser (1987), Bull. Allyn
Mus. (111): 1-16, detailed species-group names in this genus.

‡”Creteus” Westwood, 1852
In: Gen. diurn. Lepid. (2)(54): 511. This name was introduced
by Westwood in the synonymy of Goniloba, which he
described as new. Since this name was unintentional
(Westwood meant to useCarystus), it is a nomen nudum; see
Hemming (1967), Bull. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Entomol. Suppl.

Original

Type Locality: “Brésil”; “Bahia” on label of the type.
Types: Holotype in MNHP.
Steinhauser (1987), Bull. Allyn Mus. (111): 7, considered
this an unavailable name. Under current rules the use of
“form” or “variety” before 1961 may be interpreted as
indicating a species-group name (Code Article 45.6.4),
which I believe is consistent with Mabille and Boullet’s
intent.

Original
Combination: Pap[ilio]. Pleb[ejus]. Urbicola Cor
as
Type Locality: “Surinamen” “Suriname”,
possibly in error.
Types: Type(s) probably lost.
This name was resurrected from obscurity by
Evans (1955), Cat. Am. Hesp. Brit. Mus. (4):
332, who applied it as a senior synonym
of peckius. Cramer’s figure is not recognizable
as this taxon, and the given locality is not within
its range as currently known. The locality could
be erroneous, since many Cramer names are
given this consideration; however, it is not
possible to prove that the figure represents this
taxon, so the name coras is best considered
a nomen dubium.

“2 Parnassius F.”). Schneider did not use the name in a generic sense, but as an interposed adjective;
Wagener (1988), Nota Lepid. 11(3): 237-238, discussed this issue. Nomina collectiva are descriptive
epithets applying to individual variants below the subspecies-level. They frequently lack a description
or indication and are almost always cited in some kind of quadrinomial combination. In the following
synonymies, nomina collectiva are referenced for each taxon, but not listed individually.

There have been various misspellings of this name but the
original orthography must stand even though it is obvious
that the name is a patronym of Pavlovsk. This species in
North America was formerly but incorrectly called Erebia
theano (Tauscher, 1806) by most previous authors. Various
Russian researchers (e.g., Gorbunov (2001), Butterflies
Russia Class.: 255) have shown that E. pawloskii and E.
theano are distinct species-level taxa, and that E.
pawloskii is the North American taxon.

Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Electronic Biologica Centrali-Americana is a large project involving several contributors in which rare
and widely scattered resources are being digitized and made available in a central place for use by the
taxonomic research community. These resources include text and plates of rare books, specimens,
card indices and databases. According to the EBCA website the ultimate goal is to make the data in
these texts searchable, and to add more modern treatments and descriptions to the original
information. Read more about the project here. We have provided links to the Lepidoptera volumes
(the links below will take you to the EBCA website, where you may view or download the pages in JPG
or PDF format):

Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Aberration: An abnormal phenotype, usually in wing pattern or color, which may be caused
by genetic, environmental, or developmental factors (14).
Adaptive radiation: The production of several or many new species from a common ancestor,
usually when the ancestor invades a new and empty habitat (20). The radiation is “adaptive”
because the genetic barriers between species arise as by-products of natural selection
adapting populations to their environments (20). In the subfamily Pierinae, the shift from
Fabales (legumes and allied plants) to Brassicales (crucifers and related plants containing
glucosinolates), followed by further shifts from Brassicales to Santalales (‘mistletoes’), has
led to adaptive radiation (21).
Adult: The breeding, final, and most conspicuous stage of the butterfly life cycle; sometimes
called the “imago”. The lifespan of adult butterflies ranges from a few weeks to several
months, depending on species and environment (1).
Aedeagus: The male intromittent organ (organ specialized to deliver sperm) in butterflies
(14).
Alkaloids: A large class of secondary plant compounds, many of which are produced by
specific plant families or genera and which may be important in host-plant selection by
butterflies (14).
Allotype: The term may be used to indicate a specimen of opposite sex to the holotype;
allotypes have no name-bearing function (9).
Ampulla: A process (often finger-like) arising from the inner side of the valva.
Anal angle: The area enclosed by the inner and outer margins of the hindwing (17).
Androconium: A modified wing scale on some male butterflies that secretes or disperses
pheromones, as in courtship (14). (plural: androconia). Compare “stigma”
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Antenna: Either of two long, filamentous appendages on the insect head (15). (plural:
antennae). See Figures "1" and "2"depicting antennae for examples of antennae and
descriptive nomenclature.
Apical: The area at or near the wing tip, or apex. Compare “basal”.
Areole : A small subdivision at the base of the wing cell, or a small window on the upper side
of a wing scale (8). (plural: areolae).
Band: A line of color that runs from the dorsal to the ventral sides of the caterpillar (the entire
distance or only a portion of the distance) (11).
Background extinction: The steady extinction at all geological periods of a certain number of
individual species (22). Compare “mass extinction”.
Batesian mimicry: The mimicry of an unpalatable species (model) by a palatable one (mimic)
(14). Compare "Mullerian mimicry".
Bird-butterfly association: An association observed in the Central and South America tropics
where many hesperiids (skippers) and some ithomiines (tiger-mimics, glasswings) feed on
the liquefied droppings of certain species of antbirds (Formicariidae) and woodcreepers
(Dendrocolaptidae) attracted to army ant swarms (Formicidae: Ecitoninae) (19)
Brood: A single generation of a population during which the adults emerge more or less
synchronously (16).
Bursa copulatrix: Internal female copulatory duct, consisting of the ductus bursae and corpus
bursae (7). A sac in the female abdomen wherein the spermatophore is stored and digested
(after the sperm are released) (15).
Cardenolides: A class of secondary plant compounds found mostly in the milkweed and
dogbane families, involved in host selection by species feeding on these plants and
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
commonly sequestered by them for their own defense against predators (14). Also called
cardiac glycosides (14).
Caterpillar: The worm-like, juvenile stage (between egg and pupa) of butterflies and moths;
also called the larva. See Figures "1"and "2" depicting larvae for examples of caterpillars and
descriptive nomenclature.
Cell: Any area of the wing surrounded by veins (3); however, the word “cell” used alone often
refers to the discal cell (15). Most cells (other than the discal cell) are labeled according to
the vein in front of them, e.g., cell M2 is behind vein M2 (15). See “discal cell”.
Cervical shield: A heavily pigmented, sclerotized area behind the head of many caterpillars,
especially hesperiids (14).

pupa.
Clade: The set of all species descended from a single ancestral species.
Cline: A gradual, progressive, usually continual change in physical characteristics over the
geographic or altitudinal range of a species.
Club: The thickened terminal section of the antenna. In papilionids the antennae end in a
club, while in hesperiids they end in a hooked extension of the club. See “apiculus”.

below the antennae.
Coevolution: The parallel evolution of two kinds of organisms that are interdependent, or
where at least one depends on the other, and where any change in one will result in an
adaptive response in the other (22). A classic example of coevolution is the relationship
between butterflies and their larval foodplants (26).
Collar: The dorsal plate behind the head of a caterpillar, usually dark in color (11).
Colonist: A taxon that periodically establishes breeding populations in a region but not
usually as permanent breeding residents(1).

Dyar's law: An empirical generalization in which successive larval instars in Lepidoptera are
related by a constant size multiplier, enabling one to use the shed head capsules to
determine the number of molts (14).
Eclosion: The emergence of the adult butterfly from the chrysalis (16).
Ecotype: An ecological "race” of an organism that is distinct from other related taxa because
of different ecological or environmental associations, though it may not be taxonomically
named(1). See "race".
Egg: The initial live stage of insects. Eggs are normally placed by the adult female on
suitable plants that can provide nutrition for the developing larvae, although chemical cues
can be misinterpreted and eggs are sometimes placed on inappropriate substrates (1)
Epiphysis: Articulated process on the tibia (unique to Lepidoptera), used to clean the antenna
(7).
Estivation: Dormancy during summer heat or drought. May or may not involve diapause (14).
Compare "diapause" and “hibernation”.
Exophagous: A caterpillar that feeds externally on a foodplant, either exposed or hidden part-
time in a nest.
Extirpated: No individuals of a taxon survive in a location where they formerly occurred, but
the taxon itself is still extant.

Femur: The third segment of the leg (the first long movable segment), between the
trochanter and the tibia (15).
Flight period: The time of year when adults of a given species can be found.
Forewing: The front pair of wings on an insect (closer to the head). The forewings provide
structural support and are the primary mechanisms of lift for flight. Species with pointed
forewings are generally faster, more direct fliers, while those with rounded forewings are
usually slower and more maneuverable (1).
Form: A broad, informal term referring to various kinds of phenotypic variation, both
polymorphic and polyphenic (14).
Frons: The area between the eyes on the front of the head, often bearing a hair-like tuft (17).
Generation: All the individuals of a single life cycle (from egg to adult) in a single population
(15).
Genitalia: The reproductive organs of adult butterflies, located in the terminal abdominal
segments. The genitalia are often of diagnostic value in butterfly taxonomy (14). See male
genitalia figures "1", "2" and "3" and female genitalia figures "1"and "2" for examples of male
and female genitalia and descriptive nomenclature.
Genus: The nested rank between family and species in the Linnaean system (1).
Geographic speciation: Speciation that begins with the geographic isolation of two or more
populations, which subsequently develop into species-level taxa.
Girdle: A silken thread supporting the midsection of a chrysalis (17). Found especially in the
papilionids.
Gulching: A mate-locating behavior where males aggregate in gullies or washes to wait for or
search for receptive females (2).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Gynandromorph: An individual that contains both male and female characteristics; also
known as a sexual mosaic. When one side is female and the other male it is known as a
bilateral gynandromorph (14).
H or HW: Hindwing.
Hemolymph: The body fluids ("blood") of insects. Hemolymph does not usually carry oxygen
and thus does not have a respiratory pigment like hemoglobin (14).
Hibernation: Dormancy during the winter, which may or may not involve diapause (14).
Compare “estivation” and “diapause”.
Hilltopping: A mate-locating behavior where males aggregate on hilltops or ridges to wait for
or search for receptive females (2).
Hindwing: The rear pair of wings on an insect. The hindwings primarily are used for stability
and increased surface area in flight. When butterflies land with their wings closed (and most
do), the ventral hindwing is the primary wing surface observed. Some species have complex
color patterns and designs on this wing surface, including eyespots and tails that may draw
the attention of predators away from more “critical” areas of the body like the head and
forewings. These patterns also can serve as important means of species recognition in
courtship (demonstrably so in the Lycaeides blues). In others, like Ceryconis wood nymphs,
ventral hindwings are cryptic and serve as camouflage (1).
Holometabolous: An insect that undergoes complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, and
adult).
Holotype: The single specimen upon which a new nominal species-group taxon is based in
the original publication; a holotype is a specimen with a name-bearing function (9).
Homonym: [1] In the family group: each of two or more available names having the same
spelling, or differing only in suffix, and denoting different nominal taxa. [2] In the genus group:
each of two or more available names having the same spelling, and denoting different
nominal taxa. [3] In the species group: each of two or more available specific or subspecific
names having the same spelling, and established for different nominal taxa, and either
originally (primary homonymy) or subsequently (secondary homonymy) combined with the
same generic name (9).
Honeydew: A sweet liquid secreted by some aphids, scale insects, and lycaenid butterfly
larvae as a byproduct of their feeding. Also, a sugary exudate that accumulates on the
surface of certain cynipid wasp galls. These galls are often actively tended by ants, which
collect the honeydew and drive off parasitoids attempting to attack the gall wasp (12). In
addition to ants, the honeydew is used as a food source by some adult butterflies, for
example Colorado Hairstreak (Hypaurotis crysalus). See also "myrmecophily".
Hyaline spots: Translucent, glass-like spots on the wings of some butterflies (17).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Hybrid zone: An area of overlap between two species or sub-specific types where
hybridization takes place. North American admiral butterflies (genus Limenitis) have
historically been of interest because hybridization between nominal species is widespread,
with perhaps the most dramatic example involving hybridization zones between mimetic
(Limenitis arthemis astyanax) and nonmimetic (Limenitis a. arthemis) populations (27).
Imaginal discs: Clusters of embryonic cells that give rise to the structures of the adult during
the late larval and pupal stages (14).
Influx species: In the southwestern U.S. in particular, a species that enters the region
annually from other deserts, thornscrub habitats, and mountain ranges in northern Mexico,
with the intensity of the influx thought to be related to the strength, time of onset, and
duration of the summer rainy season. Many of these visitors breed and comprise a significant
or even dominant portion of the summer butterfly fauna, while others find no suitable plants
to serve as larval hosts.
Instar: The period between larval molts. Most butterfly larvae molt their exoskeleton about 5
times and therefore have 6 instars, but environmental conditions can alter the number (1).
Johnston's organ: A sensory organ found in the antennal pedicel (second segment) that
serves to detect movements or vibrations of the antennal flagellum relative to the rest of the
body.
Juxta: In the male genitalia of most lepidoptera, the sclerite located between the valvae and
below the aedeagus; usually serving as a support for the sheath of the aedeagus.
Junior Synonym: Of two synonyms: the later established, or in the case of simultaneous
establishment that not given precedence under Article 24 (9).
Labial palp: In adults, either of the paired structures found on each side of the proboscis,
between which the proboscis is coiled (3). The labial palps serve a sensory function.
Lamella antevaginalis: In the female genitalia of most lepidoptera, a sclerite located anterior
to the copulatory opening.
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Lamella postvaginalis: In the female genitalia of most lepidoptera, a sclerite located posterior
to the copulatory opening.
Larval foodplant: Any plant eaten by larvae and on which the eggs are normally laid (15).
Also known as larval hostplant. Foodplant specificity can vary greatly across butterfly
species, ranging from only one plant species to dozens of suitable plant species, and can
promote speciation between two or more groups of closely related taxa through reproductive
isolation (1). Prime examples of this are Euphilotes blue butterflies and
some Apodemia metalmarks that almost exclusively use different species or varieties of
buckwheats (Eriogonum) (1).
Lectotype: Designated from syntypes as the single name-bearing type specimen subsequent
to the establishment of a nominal species or subspecies (9).
Lek: A site where males of a species congregate to attract females, or where females are
instinctively programmed to seek them (14). Within the lek, males may be territorial (14).
Sites where male hairstreaks perch in numbers can fairly be called leks (14).
Lepidoptera: The order of insects comprising butterflies and moths. The second largest order
of animals on earth with about 180,000 described species worldwide, although only 10-15%
of Lepidoptera are butterflies (1).
Local: When populations of an organism are found only in small patches, even though those
populations may be very abundant or the overall geographic range of the organism is vast.
For example, populations of the Arctic Skipperling (Carterocephalus palaemon) are found in
very small areas but the species has a circumboreal distribution (1).
Lunule: Crescent marks usually found along the margin of the wing (8).
Mass extinction: The extermination of a large proportion of the biota by a climatic, geological,
cosmic, or other environmental event (22). Compare “background extinction”.
Mate-locating behavior: Behavior that functions to bring the sexes together (14); also called
epigamic behavior. Most authors divide mate-locating behavior into two main categories
relating to the situation in which the sexes meet: "perching" and "patrolling" (2). In this
definition, "hilltopping", "gulching", and “treetopping”, for example, are not considered
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
alternatives to patrolling and perching but are seen as systems that reduce the total area
where the males may engage in patrolling or perching (2); with small sites called leks by
some authors.
Maxillary galea: The two elongated structures that form the proboscis in adult butterflies.
Meconium: The waste products of metamorphosis, often red or pink, voided by the recently
emerged adult, usually prior to flight (14).

(20). Evolution at or below the species level (22). Compare “Macroevolution”.
Mimicry: The resemblance of two or more unrelated organisms, where there is adaptive
benefit to one, both, or all (14). Near the center of its historic range, the Pipevine Swallowtail
(Battus philenor) acquires dangerous chemicals from its larval foodplant and is unpalatable
and has no mimics, but in the southeastern U.S. (as inferred from genetic studies), it is
mimicked by several unrelated butterfly species (1). See "Batesian mimicry" and "Mullerian
mimicry".
Monandry: A breeding system in which a female mates with only one male.
Monophagous: Narrowly specialized in larval foodplant choice, feeding on just one family,
genus, or species of plants (14).
Morph: Any of the individual forms or phenotypes found in a polymorphic species. See
“polymorphism”.
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Mullerian mimicry: A type of mimicry in which two or more unpalatable species display very
similar phenotypes, which allows predators to learn to avoid that particular phenotype (14).
Compare “Batesian mimicry”.
Myrmecophily: Associating with ants. The larvae of many lyceanids are regularly attended by
ants (15). In many cases these associations are mutualistic whereby the butterfly caterpillar
secretes nutritious solutions from specialized glands (honey gland or dorsal nectary organ) in
exchange for protection from predators and parasites (6). However, some associations
between lycaenids and ants are parasitic with the lycaenid caterpillar preying on the ant
brood or being fed by ants as nest inquilines (13).
Name-bearing type: The type genus, type species, holotype, lectotype, series of syntypes
(which together constitute the name-bearing type) or neotype that provides the objective
standard of reference for the naming of a taxon (9).

theory of evolution by natural selection with modern knowledge of genes and chromosomes
to explain the source of the genetic variation upon which selection works.
Neotype: The single specimen designated as the name-bearing type of a nominal species or
subspecies when there is a need to define the nominal taxon objectively and no name-
bearing type is believed to be extant (9).
Nest: The structure made by many caterpillars (consisting of leaves, silk, and/or ground
debris) for concealment when not feeding.
Nominate subspecies: The subspecies containing the type specimen of a species and thus
carrying the name of the species, for example,Hesperia colorado colorado (14).
Nudum: The scaleless area on the tip of the antenna, especially in hesperiids, where scent
detectors are common (15).
Nuptial gifts: The term used to describe the nutrients (amino acids, proteins, lipids,
hydrocarbons, and water) the male butterfly in some species transfers, including the
spermatophore, to the female during mating (5).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Objective synonym: Each of two or more synonyms that denote nominal taxa with the same

and moths are in the order Lepidoptera.
Overwintering stage: The stage (egg, larva, pupa, or adult) in which butterflies hibernate
through the winter months. Different species hibernate in different stages, and this affects the
timing of activity by adults during the warmer months (1).
Ovipositor: A pair of structures located at the tip of the female abdomen through which eggs
are laid.
Panmictic: Pertaining to populations and species of such great dispersal capacity that there
is complete interbreeding of populations from all parts of their range (22). For example, a
widespread Old World butterfly, Lampides boeticus (Lycaenidae), is apparently panmictic
with very little genetic variation across large geographic distances (23).
Paralectotype: Each specimen of a former syntype series remaining after the designation of
a lectotype; paralectotypes have no name-bearing function (9).
Parasitoid: An organism that is free-living as an adult but whose larva feed on or in a single
host organism. Parasitoids are among the most important natural enemies of butterflies and
include many species of small wasps and flies (14).
Paratype: Each specimen of a type series other than the holotype; paratypes have no name-
bearing function (9).
Partial flight: A group of adults that have emerged from pupation while most of their
generation remains in diapause (15).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Perching: A mate-locating strategy in which male butterflies wait at certain sites for females
to arrive, and fly out to investigate passing butterflies to see if they are receptive females.
Pharate adult: The completely developed adult as visible within the pupal case before
emergence (14)
Phenology: The study of the timing (seasonality) of biological events (14). In butterflies this

physiological, or behavioral changes in another of the same species (14)
Polyandry: A breeding system in which a female mates with more than one male.

applied to it (taking into consideration the other provisions of Article 23), provided that the
name is not invalidated by any provision of the Code or by any ruling by the Commission (9).
Proboscis: The feeding tube of adult Lepidoptera, kept coiled beneath the head when not in
use (14).
Proleg: Any of the ten false legs on the posterior segments of a larva (15).
Protandry: The earlier adult emergence (or arrival) of males than of females (2).
Pulvillus: The pad between the tarsal claws on the leg (3).

to represent a method of harvesting mineral salts for physiological use (14).
Pupal mating: A strategy in which males locate clutches of pupae, inspect them for several
days, eventually compete for a position on one of the pupae, and mate with the emerging
female (4).
Radial veins: Wing veins that terminate in the apical area (3).
Reproductive isolating barriers: Genetically based features of a species that prevent it from
forming fertile hybrids with another species; for example, differences in courtship rituals that
prevent out-crossing (20).
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Scales: Very small, flattened modified hairs that cover the wings and bodies of butterflies and
moths(1). Colors are produced through chemical pigments, iridescence, or both (1).
Sclerite: Any plate of the hardened (sclerotized) exoskeleton, defined by sutures (7).
Scolus: Any branching spine or seta-bearing cone on a caterpillar (15), named using B-
preceding the name of the nearest primary seta (J. Scott, pers. comm.).
Secondary seta: Any of the many hairs (setae) that develop as a larva grows from the first
stage to maturity.
Segregate: A phenotypically distinct population of butterflies that has not been formally
described as a subspecies; some segregates will likely be described as subspecies in the
future, while some will not.
Selection pressure: Any feature of the environment that results in natural selection; for
example, food shortage, the activity of a predator, or competition from other members of the
same sex for a mate, can cause individuals of different genetic types to survive to different
average ages, to reproduce at different rates, or both.
Senior synonym: Of two synonyms: the earlier established, or in the case of simultaneous
establishment that given precedence under Article 24 (9).
Seta: Any hair, bristle, or spine projecting from the exoskeleton (does not include the scales).
(plural: setae). See “primary seta” and “secondary seta”.
Sexual selection: Selection for attributes that enhance reproductive success (22). A form of
natural selection (20). In butterflies, for example, intra-specific sexual selection in the
Common Eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina) is thought to be the driving force behind the
exaggeration of bright, iridescent butterfly color patterns (25).
WAS-Archives.org

Sister taxon: The most closely related taxon at the same rank (species, genus, etc.) (1).
Speciation: The evolution of new populations that are distinct at the species-level. See
“geographic speciation”.
Species: Under the biological species concept (which applies only to sexual, out-crossing
organisms like butterflies), a group of interbreeding individuals reproductively isolated from
other such groups (14). Many additional species concepts exist, some of which were
summarized by Mayden (1997) (28) and Wheeler & Meier (2000) (29).
Spermatheca: The organ in the female where sperm can be stored, sometimes for months
(14). Once ovulation begins, the sperm leave the spermatheca one at a time and meet the
individual eggs as they move down the oviduct (14)
Spermatogenesis: Sperm formation, which in butterflies begins in the late larval stage of
males (14)
Sperm precedence: A mechanism common in butterflies whereby the most recent male to
copulate with the female inactivates any sperm left over from the previous mating (14).
Sphragis: A waxy, vaginal plug formed by a male and inserted into the female during
copulation to prevent the female from mating again (14). Found in Parnassians and some
Swallowtails (14).
Spiracle: Any of a series of respiratory openings along the sides of the body (15).
Spur: Either of the two (or in some skippers any of the four) relatively long spine-like
projections on the tibia (15).
Stigma: A pheromone gland on the wings of some male butterflies (14). The stigma is usually
located on the dorsal forewing of many hairstreaks (family Lycaenidae) and hesperiids, but
may be located on the hindwings or near the body in other butterfly families (1). Also called
sex patch.
WAS-Archives.org
Lepidoptera America, by Christophe Avon 2016
Stink club: A process at the end of the abdomen of most female Heliconiini, bearing scent

controversial (14).
Suture: Any visible line or sulcus on the exoskeleton where two segments (sclerites) join.
Synonym: Each of two or more names of the same rank used to denote the same taxon (9).
Synonymy: A chronological list or record of the scientific names that have been used to label
the same organism.
Syntype: Each specimen of a type series from which neither a holotype nor a lectotype has
been designated (9). The syntypes collectively constitute the name-bearing type (9).
Systematics: The science involved in the naming of organisms (taxonomy) and the
evolutionary and ecological aspects of classification (14).
Tail: A projection from the hindwing, well developed in some species (especially Papilionids),
or short and slender (as in many hairstreaks) (18)
Tarsal claws: Curved, paired appendages at the end of the last tarsal segment (18).
Taxon: A taxonomic unit, whether named or not: i.e. a population, or group of populations of

characters in common which differentiate them (e.g. a geographic population, a genus, a
family, an order) from other such units (9). (plural: taxa).
Taxonomy: The theory and practice of classifying organisms (9). For the modern (perennially
updated) resource on United States and Canada butterfly taxonomy see A Catalog of the
Butterflies of the United States and Canada by Jonathan P. Pelham

eligible for subsequent designation as the name-bearing type (lectotype); pending lectotype
designation, all the specimens of the type series are syntypes and collectively they constitute
the name-bearing type (9). Excluded from the type series are any specimens that the original
author expressly excludes or refers to as distinct variants, or doubtfully includes in the taxon
(9).
Type species: The nominal species that is the name-bearing type of a nominal genus or
subgenus (9).
Type specimen: A term used for a holotype, lectotype or neotype, or for any syntype; also
used generally for any specimen of the type series (9).

Valva: Either of the two appendages at the tip of the male abdomen used to hold the female
during mating. Also called clasper. (plural: valvae).
Venation: The arrangement (pattern) of veins in the insect wing. Wing venation patterns can
be key means of identifying taxa (1). See Figures "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5" for examples of
