Some notes on Delias bornemanni – nais complex on Papua and Papua New Guinea Mainland (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)

Abstract: Members of the Delias bornemanni – nais complex are widely distributed throughout the central mountains of New Guinea from the Kobowre Mts in the west to the Owen Stanley Range in the east. No less than fifteen taxon names have been used to describe the varieties, of which nine are now considered to be synonyms. A historical account of the taxonomy is presented with additional comments that clarifythe systematics and include the description of a new subspecies of D. nais from the Foja Mts.
Rangkuman: Kupu-kupu Delias termasuk dalam kompleks bornemanni – nais mempunyai distribusi luas di seluruh pegunungan New Guinea, dari Pegunungan Kobowre di bagian barat sampai Stanley Owen Range di bagian timur. Tidak kurang dari lima belas nama takson digunakan untuk mendiskripsikan kupu-kupu itu dengan segala variasinya. Sembilan nama sekarang dianggap telah menjadi sinonim. Seluruh sejarah taksonomis disajikan, dengan komentar tambahan, guna menjelaskan sistematikanya, dan termasuk subspesies baru dari Pegunungan Foja yang dipertelakan di sini.

Komunitas Kupu-Kupu Superfamili Papilionoidea (Lepidoptera) di Kawasan Hutan Wisata Alam Gunung Meja, Manokwari, Papua Barat

Rawati Panjaitan. Butterfly Community of Superfamily Papilionoidea (Lepidoptera) at Gunung Meja Recreational Forest Area, Manokwari, Papua Barat. Supervised by Tri Atmowidi and Djunijanti Peggie.

Abstract:Gunung Meja, a forest area near Manokwari, West Papua province, has been designated as a recreational forest since 1980. Gunung Meja covers 460.25 ha and is located at 75 – 175 m asl. Gunung Meja is directly adjacent to residential areas, 50 that the community activities, such as felling trees and gardening are of ten conducted in the area. These can interfere with the existence of flora and fauna Suara Serangga Papua, 2011,6 (2) Oktober – Desember 2011 62 inside, including butterflies. To assess the impact of intrusive human activities on the forest area, it is necessary to obtain basic information about what flora and fauna are present. This study aims to record the butterfly community in the area. Observations of butterflies were done by scan sampling on primary forest, secondary forest, gardens and settlements. Sampling and measurement of environmental parameters were performed in the morning and afternoon for seven weeks. This study recorded 113 species and 4.049 individuals of butterflies. There were 75 species in primary forest, 77 species in secondary forest, and 63 species in gardens and settlements. The number of species found continued to increase until the last day of the observation. Shannon-Wiener index (H’) calculation showed that diversity in primary and secondary forests were 3.48 and 3.50, respectively, thus classified as high (H’ > 3). Sorensen index calculation (CN) showed high value reaching 0.5 quantitatively.

Peran Lutein dan Flavanoid pada Kupu-kupu (Lepidoptera)

Abstract: Lepidoptera aredivided into two large groups, butterflies and moths. Colouration isone of the featuresthat help to separatethe members these groups.The colours of adult butterflies areassociatedwith pterin pigments, interference of light and carotenoids. During the larval stage, carotenoids are more dominant than in the other phasesof the life cycle. Thefunctions of carotenoids in butterflies include antioxidant behaviour, colour formation and production of silk which can be used in industrial world. The purpose of th is paper is to provide information about the role of the carotenoid lutein and the flavanoidsin butterflies.
Rangkuman: Kupu-kupu (Lepidoptera) terbagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kupu-kupu siang dan kupu-kupu malam.Warna merupakan salah satu ciri yang bantu membedakan kupu-kupu dan ngengat. Warna pada kupu-kupu berkaitan dengan pigmen pterin, interferensi cahaya dan karotenoid, walaupun karotenoid lebih dominan terdapat pada faseulat dibanding padafase-faselain dalam siklushidupnya. Fungsikarotenoid pada kupukupu ialah sebagai antioksidan dan penghasil warna sutra yang dapat digunakan dalam dunia industri. Tujuan makalah ini untuk memberikan informasi tentang peran lutein dan flavanoid sebagai karotenoid pada kupu-kupu.

Nicetosoma gen. nov., a new genus for the ”Spilosoma” niceta group of species East of the Weber Line (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini)

Abstract: A new genus name is proposed for the niceta group of nine species which previously was considered to belong to Spilosoma Curtis, 1825. Two new species are described, Nicetosoma meforensis spec. nov. and Nicetosoma sulphurata spec. nov. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Diacrisia niceta intermedia Rothschild, 1910 syn. nov., Diacrisia niceta mysolica Rothschild, 1915 syn. nov. and Diacrisia niceta pallida syn. nov. are synonymized with Diacrisia niceta papuana Rothschild, 1910, which itself will be raised from subspecies level to species level as Nicetosoma papuana (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov. and the same is done with Diacrisia niceta saturata Rothschild, 1910 to Nicetosoma saturata (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov.
Rangkuman: Nama genus yang baru diusul untuk niceta group dengan sembilan spesies, yang sebelumnya dianggap termasuk dalam Spilosoma Curtis, 1825. Dua spesies baru dipertelakan, Nicetosoma meforensis spec. nov. dan Nicetosoma sulphurata spec. nov. Perubahan taksonomis diusulkan sebagai berikut:>Diacrisia niceta intermediata Rothschild, 1910 syn. nov. Diacrisia niceta mysolica Rothschild, 1915 syn. nov. dan Diacrisia niceta pallida Rothschild, 1916 syn. nov. dinyatakan sinonim dengan Diacrisia niceta papuana Rothschild, 1910 yang ditingkatkan dari tingkat subspesies menjadi spesies, yaitu Nicetosoma papuana (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov. dan yang sama dibuat dengan Diacrisia saturata Rothschild, 1910 menjadi Nicetosoma saturata (Rothschild, 1910) stat. nov

Records of dragonflies (Odonata) from Kabupaten Asmat and Kabupaten Mappi (Papua, Indonesia)

Abstract: Records of dragonflies collected at Katan and Senggo (both Kabupaten Mappi) and at Vriendschap River (Kabupaten Asmat) in 2009 are presented. In total 47 species belonging to seven families were collected, the majority of these belong to the Coenagrionidae (14 species) or to Libellulidae (26 species). The collection includes several poorly known species such as Plagulibasis ciliata and Nososticta rangifera. Austrocnemis maccullochi is recorded for Indonesia for the first time. One male of an undescribed Palaiargia is briefly characterized but is not officially described.
