Abstract

A total of 385 Euphaedra eberti Aurivillius, 1898, adults collected between 2012 and 2018 in the vicinity of Bangui, Central African Republic, were examined for intraspecific morphological variability, genetic diversity and genitalia structure. The species shows significant wing pattern variability. Two main morphotypes were identified in the set: the nominate form eberti, and the one comprising specimens with a red patch, form rubromaculata. However, both forms had similar genitalic structures and shared some specific wing marks, in addition to displaying the same COI (i.e., barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene) haplotype, strongly suggesting that the two morphologically distinct forms belong to the same species, E. eberti. The causes of this variability remain unclear.

鳞翅目，蛱蝶科两种蛱蝶个体形态和遗传多样性

对2012年至2018年间在中非共和国班吉附近采集的385只Aurivillius幼蛛（Euphaedra eberti Aurivillius，1898只）成虫进行了种内形态变异性、遗传多样性和生殖器结构检查。该物种显示出显著的翅膀模式变异性。在这组标本中鉴定出两种主要的形态类型：一种是被命名的eberti，另一种是由带有红色斑块的标本组成的红腹蛛。然而，除了显示相同的COI（即线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶亚基i基因的条形码区域）单倍型外，这两种形式都具有相似的生殖器结构，并共享一些特定的翅膀标记，这强烈表明这两种形态不同的形式属于同一物种，e.eberti。这种变化的原因尚不清楚。

期刊介绍： African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
