Abstract

The distribution of butterfly species is limited by availability of larval host plants growing in suitable climatic conditions. The Two-tailed Pasha, Charaxesjasius (Linnaeus, 1767), is a Mediterranean butterfly with only sporadic historical records in Madrid, Spain’s most central province, where the host plant is uncommon and winters are colder than in most parts of the butterfly’s range. We show the first evidence of juvenile stages of the species in two towns of north-central Madrid and compile records of C.jasius from Madrid over the past four decades. Our results suggest that, in the absence of widespread host plants, C.jasius is using suburban ornamental plantings of its host plant to colonise a region which may be becoming more climatically suitable.

在西班牙中部的马德里省，观赏植物杨梅(Arbutus unedo L.)促进了Charaxes jasius (Linnaeus, 1767)的殖民化

蝴蝶种类的分布受到生长在适宜气候条件下的寄主幼虫植物的可得性的限制。双尾蝶，Charaxesjasius (Linnaeus, 1767)，是一种地中海蝴蝶，在西班牙最中心的省份马德里只有零星的历史记录，那里的寄主植物不常见，冬天比蝴蝶活动范围的大部分地区更冷。我们在马德里中北部的两个城镇展示了该物种幼年阶段的第一个证据，并汇编了过去40年来马德里的C.jasius记录。我们的研究结果表明，在没有广泛寄主植物的情况下，jasius正在利用其寄主植物的郊区观赏植物来殖民一个可能变得更适合气候的地区。

期刊介绍： Nota Lepidopterologica is the scientific, peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL). It publishes original contributions to the study of mainly but not exclusively Palaearctic Lepidoptera, especially on taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, ecology, behaviour, and conservation, but also on any other aspects of lepidopterology. All articles are published in English, with the possibility of having the summary written in other languages. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
