We document for the first time the larval food plants of Anoncia mosa Hodges (Cosmopterigidae) mining the leaves of Collinsia heterophylla and C. tinctoria (Lamiales: Plantaginaceae) in Madera County, California. We describe and illustrate the mine, larval feeding habits, last instar larva and pupa of Anoncia mosa, then compare the immature stages to other Cosmopterigidae to help identify this species and call attention to some overlooked morphological characters. These include the larval P seta, larval cuticular texture and the genital opening of the pupa in a pit. We partially describe the previously unknown pupa of Euclemensia. We also use characters of the immature stages to briefly discuss the systematic placement of three taxa. The family status of the Chrysopeleiidae and the inclusion of Triclonella in the Cosmopterigidae are supported by the pupa but not the larva. Conversely, the systematic placement of Metharmostis in Cosmopterigidae is better supported by the larva than the pupa. Our study is an example of the need to save larval and pupal exuviae for morphological descriptions.","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131273581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lepidoptera produce two kinds of sperm, eusperm, which are conventional nucleated spermatozoa, and parasperm, which lack nuclei and are usually smaller. Both travel in the female to the sperm storage organ, the spermatheca, but there the parasperm become inactive or disappear without taking any direct role in fertilization of the eggs. There are widespread accounts in the literature of an excess of parasperm over eusperm, though relatively few actual counts, and those counts are from various locations in the lifetime of the sperm: from testes, seminal vesicles, ejaculates, or spermathecae. With phylogenetic comparisons in mind, we counted sperm in the final sperm storage organs of males, the seminal vesicles (ductus ejaculatorius duplex), to explore the prevalence of these two types of sperm over a wide range of species and sizes. We found parasperm in all species, including the most phylogenetically basal (non-ditrysian) ones, and a preponderance of parasperm over eusperm in almost all, including a majority of the smaller species with small total numbers of sperm. Total sperm number of both types increased with wingspan (our proxy for size) as did the ratio of parasperm to eusperm. The ubiquity of parasperm and their preponderance even in very small species indicates an important role in lepidopteran reproduction. Further, the large numbers of both sperm types in larger species of Lepidoptera, apparently vastly more than are needed to fertilize eggs, suggests a role in sperm competition.","PeriodicalId":259893,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126515820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most notably among butterflies, genera such as Bicyclus (Nymphalidae) and Colias (Pieridae) express ultraviolet reflectance which is used in communication (Silberglied & Taylor 1973, Robertson et al. 2005, Papke et al. 2007, Huq et al. 2019). Here, we present photographic, phenomenological evidence for UV reflective eyespots in Parnassius smintheus Doubleday, [1847] (Papilionidae), a high-elevation butterfly that is distributed throughout the Rocky Mountains and up into Canada as far north as Yukon Territory (Opler & Wright 1999). Figure 1 includes photographs of individuals from three P. smintheus subspecies, smintheus, magnus, and rubina, which all express UV reflectance on eyespots located on the ventral hindwing. Although this sample size is small, we note that these eyespots appear to be sexually dimorphic, with males having a single UV eyespot and females having either two or three UV eyespots. Our photo series was taken using a Nikon D7100 outfitted with a 60mm 1:4 UVVIS-IR lens and 60nm HBW/320-380nm blocked VIS/IR filter. We used Labsphere certified reflectance standards which are shown in each photograph. While the significance of this morphological finding is untested thus far, it may be related to signaling. The note presented here represents this preliminary finding, currently under further investigation. In Bicyclus anynana, UV reflective eyespots have been shown to have influence on mate choice by both males and females (Robertson et al. 2005, Huq et al. 2019). Alternatively, in P. smintheus, it may also be used as a way for the species to determine members of the same/opposite sex without respect to mate choice.
