However, all are agreed that, although all the butterflies constitute a single monophyletic clade, a distinction needs to be made between the skippers and the rest of the butterflies.

Butterfly Summary A butterfly is an insect of the Order Lepidoptera, and belongs to one of the superfamilies Hesperioidea (the skippers) or Papilionoidea (all other butterflies). Presently butterflies are classified in two superfamilies, Hesperioidea, consisting of the 'skippers' and Papilionoidea or 'true butterflies'. In this system, Papilionoidea consists of the series Hesperiiformes (with one family only, the skipper family Hesperiidae) and the series Papilioniformes (with five families). www.bookrags.com /Butterfly   (2521 words)

Butterfly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some authors would include also members of the superfamily Hedyloidea, the American butterfly moths. The families usually recognised in the Papilionoidea (or Papilioniformes) are: A major new study (Wahlberg et al., 2005) combining morphological and molecular data concluded that Hesperiidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae and Riodinidae could all be strongly supported as monophyletic clades, but the status of Nymphalidae is equivocal. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Butterfly   (1283 words)

Butterflies FAQ Butterflies alone are called Papilionoidea — which is the superfamily of butterflies. In some older classifications another superfamily, Hesperioidea (the Skippers) were regarded as butterflies, but these days they are excluded because of their closer resemblance to Moths. They are the names of the four butterfly families that together make up Papilionoidea, the superfamily of butterflies. www.geocities.com /farfalla247/butterfliesfaq.html   (1600 words)

Butterflies of the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea & Hesperioidea) Seventy-four species of butterflies and skippers (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea) were collected during surveys of the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab in Alachua County, Florida (T 10S-R 19E-S Sec 12). During surveys conducted from the fall of 1996 to the fall of 1998, nineteen species were recorded based on only one or two specimens, five additional species were recorded from fewer than ten specimens, and the remaining species were encountered in higher numbers during certain times of the year.

Last check: 2007-10-21) The anatomy of the proboscis was studied in representatives of all major subfamilies of Papilionoidea and several outgroup taxa which included Hesperiidae, Hedylidae and Geometroidea. In all species the cross-sectional outline of the tapering proboscis continuously changes from proximal to the tip while the central food canal, formed by the concave medial galeal walls, retains its oval shape. The plesiomorphic condition of the galeal composition of Papilionoidea is regarded to include one basal intrinsic muscle in the basal joint region and two series of intrinsic muscles, i.e. api.ingentaconnect.com /content/urban/351/2002/00000241/00000004/art00078   (344 words)
