Notes on the Field Identification of the Intricate Satyr, Hermeuptychia intricata, and Its Ecology in South Carolina
By Thomas Austin
Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society, 72(4):307-314, 2018
Link: https://doi.org/10.18473/lepi.72i4.a8

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.

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
Full Text

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.

Genomic analysis reveals new species and subspecies of butterflies.

Zhang, J., Cong, Q., Shen, J., Song, L., & Grishin, N.V. (2023) Genomic analysis reveals new species and subspecies of butterflies. The Taxonomic Report 11(6): 1-62.

Abstract

Large-scale genomic sequencing of butterfly taxa reveals new findings that are presented here. While we focus on detecting species by comparative genomics and define subspecies as groups of populations genetically differentiated from each other but not as strongly as species (that is, subspecies as species in the making), we report other adjustments to butterfly classification.
