Papilio. New Series
Permanent URI for this collection
Papilio (New Series), an entomology journal, is a scientific journal that covers the systematics and taxonomy and biology of butterflies, mostly from Colorado. There are about 700 species of butterflies in North America and about 270 in Colorado, New discoveries are made every year on the Colorado species. Systematics is the study of the kinds of butterflies that exist on our planet, and taxonomy involves the names of butterflies, including the description and naming of species new to science. Papilio (New Series) started in 1981 to name the butterflies in single publications. This digital collection includes the single issues as they are published.

- ItemOpen AccessChaetotaxy of first-stage butterfly larvae, with improved homologies and nomenclature for lepidoptera setae and sensilla(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2020) Scott, James A., author; James A. Scott, publisherThis paper has two goals. The first goal, of interest to all Lepidopterists, is to improve the names given to the setae and olfactory pores and sensillae: new homologies of the setae are presented including those on the last abdomen segment (good homologies on this segment are presented for the first time); a name is assigned for every seta and sensilla of the entire body including mouthparts, building upon Hinton (1946); different names are assigned to non-homologous setae that formerly were confused by having the same name; figures and an alphabetical glossary of structures are presented for users. The second goal is to present new data on butterflies, including setal maps for every subfamily known (only Pseudopontiinae and Calinaginae now lack setal maps), an improved key that includes additional subfamilies and genera, and diagnostic characters for each family, subfamily, and tribe. Scott (1986a) presented setal maps for selected first stage butterfly larvae and presented a key to all known North American subfamilies. Scott (1985, 1986b) and Scott and Wright (1990) used characters of first stage larvae as well as many other characters to deduce the phylogeny of butterflies.
- ItemOpen AccessButterflies of the southern Rocky Mountains area, and their natural history and behavior: photos of mostly eggs larvae pupae. Part IV. Lycaenidae(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2020) Scott, James A., author; James A. Scott, publisherThese four issues of Papilio (New Series) are photos for my book "Butterflies of the Southern Rocky Mts. Area, and their Natural History and Behavior", (https://hdl.handle.net/10217/200723) showing some adults but mostly early stages (eggs, 1st-stage, mature larvae, and pupae) of as many of the species as possible, primarily from the Southern Rockies area (I added a few other interesting species that do not occur in the area). They have been cropped and downsized to illustrate just the butterflies and conserve kilobytes, rather than serve as artistic images. They are arranged by evolutionary relationship, as in the book text.
