Subfamily Satyrinae - Satyrs, Morphos and Owls
Notes on the Field Identification of the Intricate Satyr, Hermeuptychia intricata, and Its Ecology in South Carolina By Thomas Austin

ABSTRACT:
Due to strong morphological similarities, the Intricate Satyr Hermeuptychia intricata has been difficult for lepidopterists to visually differentiate from the Carolina Satyr Hermeuptychia sosybius since the former's discovery in 2014. The historical confusion between the two species has resulted in a dearth of information on the ecology and life history of the less abundant and more narrowly distributed H. intricata. I observed adults and larvae of both species in the field at five sites across three counties in the coastal plain of South Carolina, USA.

Refining the Diagnostic Characters and Distribution of Hermeuptychia intricata (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae: Satyrini) By Andrew Warren, Denise Tan, Keith Willmott, and Nick Grishin
Tropical Lepidoptera Research, 24(1): 44-51, 2014
Full text available online.
Abstract:
The absence of androconia on the dorsal surface of the wings is established as an external diagnostic character of male Hermeuptychia intricata Grishin, 2014, that distinguishes this newly described species from males of the sympatric H. sosybius (Fabricius, 1793). Additional United States records of H. intricata are reviewed, extending its distribution to include North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and central Texas. Observations on the phenology and behavior of H. intricata and H. sosybius in northern Florida are given.

A new Hermeuptychia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) is sympatric and synchronic with H. sosybius ... By Qian Cong, Nick V. Grishin
ZooKeys, 379: 43–91, 2014
Full title:
A new Hermeuptychia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) is sympatric and synchronic with H. sosybius in southeast US coastal plains, while another new Hermeuptychia species – not hermes – inhabits south Texas and northeast Mexico.

Confirmation of Rhopalocera (Pieridae, Nymphalidae) previously recorded for Texas and the United States. By Kendall, R.O.
Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 28(3): 249-252., 1974

Kendall, R.O. 1974. Confirmation of Rhopalocera (Pieridae, Nymphalidae) previously recorded for Texas and the United States. Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 28(3): 249-252.
The object of this paper is to remove the dubious status of earlier reports of two species of Lepidoptera being found in Texas. Each species is represented at present by a single example only. Examples of earlier recordings have not been found; it is possible, however, that they do exist.
These species may represent single-brooded migrants which come to Texas from time to time.

Abstract:
Comparative analyses of genomic data reveal further insights into the phylogeny and taxonomic classification of butterflies presented here. As a result, 2 new subgenera and 2 new species of Hesperiidae are described: Borna Grishin, subgen.

Butterflies of Pennsylvania, a field guide By James L. Monroe, David M. Wright
University of Pittsburgh Press
From the publishers page:
https://upittpress.org/books/9780822964551/
This work has all of the features that make field guides to a region's butterfly fauna useful to anyone with a serious interest in that fauna. . . . the book is a bargain and a must for anyone with an interest not just in Pennsylvania's fauna, but the northeast fauna as a whole.
