Eryphanis, Boisduval, 1870

Penz, Carla M., 2008, Phylogenetic Revision of Eryphanis Boisduval, with a Description of a New Species from Ecuador (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae), Insecta Mundi 2008 (35), pp. 1-25 : 8-9

Association between Eryphanis and Caligopsis

Penz (2007) listed three characters supporting sister relationships between Eryphanis and Caligopsis , one of which is unique (character 26: 1 in this study). Four additional character changes are given here (Fig. 3A, Appendices 2 and 3), and the most important are the presence of a partly sclerotized setae-

bearing region in the diaphragma around the male phallus (24:1, Fig. 7B ), and the female ductus seminalis joining a channel in the body wall that is dorsal to the antrum (42:1, Fig. 7C ).
