mastigodryas has generally been regarded as closely related to coluber and masticophis . pyron et al . ( 2011 ) recovered it as part of the tropical american colubrine clade that includes cribos ( drymarchon ) , coachwhips ( masticophis ) , tiger snakes ( spilotes ) , green snakes ( opheodrys ) and the vine snakes ( oxybelis ) we looked at in the previous article . within this clade , mastigodryas seems especially closely related to the drymoluber species , also often known as racers .

justification : mastigodryas heathii is listed as least concern owing to its large distribution . no specific threats have been reported and this species is not thought to be undergoing significant population declines . this species is utilized locally for medicinal trade purposes , so monitoring is required to ensure that any future significant population declines are noted .

this species is found in pre - montane dry forest , tropical lowland dry forest , and coastal desert . they are adapted to live in cultivated areas ( p . venegas pers comm . 2014 ) .
this species is used for medicinal purposes in ancash region , peru ( lehr 2000 ) . in loja province is use as ingredient for an alcoholic drink ( d . cisneros and m . yanez - muñoz pers comm . 2014 ) .
this species is killed and stored in alcohol by locals , and this liquid is then used externally as medicine ( lehr 2000 ) . however , this is not regarded as a major threat to this species .
although there are no known species - specific conservation measures in place for this species , it is present in several protected areas throughout its distribution . research into harvest practices to investigate the maximum harvest yield to keep a long term viable population , and monitoring are required as this species is harvested for medicinal purposes .

is listed as least concern in view of its wide distribution , tolerance of a broad range of habitats , presumed large population , and because there are no major threats impacting this species .
range on the pacific slope extends from southern sinaloa , mexico , to south - central honduras , and on the atlantic slope from southern tamaulipas south through the yucatan peninsula to the northeastern coast of honduras . it also occurs throughout most of petén , guatemala , the northern yucatan peninsula , and belize . it occurs at elevations from near sea level to around 1 , 040 meters ( mccranie 2011 ) .
this species can be found in all lowland and premontane tropical forests and marginally into lower montane forests , including extensively modified lands ( mccranie 2011 ) . this is an egg - laying species .
currently , this species is of relatively low conservation concern and does not require significant additional protection or major management , monitoring , or research action . the range of this species includes several protected areas .
lee , j . , calderón mandujano , r . , lopez - luna , m . a . & stafford , p . j . 2013 .
justification : listed as least concern because it is relatively widespread , has a large population , and it is adaptable to a wide range of habitats .
this snake is found from northeastern honduras to panama . reported elevational range extends from sea level to 1 , 760 meters ( savage 2002 , mccranie 2011 ) .
this species can be found in all lowland and premontane tropical forests and marginally into lower montane forests , including extensively modified lands . in costa rica , it is uncommon in dry forest region ( savage 2002 ) . this is an egg - laying species .
currently , this species is of relatively low conservation concern and does not require significant additional protection or major management , monitoring , or research action . it is present in a number of protected areas .
justification : this species is listed as least concern on the basis that it is fairly common and widespread , occurs in a number of protected areas , and is tolerant of some degree of habitat modification .
this species has a wide distribution in el salvador , guatemala , nicaragua , and honduras , where it occurs at elevations between 635 and 1 , 900 meters ( wilson and johnson 2010 ) .
this is a common species . as many as six animals have been found in an afternoon during a one - day survey of cerro datanli - el diablo nature reserve in northern nicaragua ( j . sunyer pers . comm . , 2012 )
this snake has a wide distribution in pine - oak forest and lower montane moist forest ( d . ariano and j . sunyer pers . comm . 2012 ) . it is a terrestrial species , commonly found within the forest , although it also appears at forest edge and open areas . it is largely diurnal ; at night , it climbs into vegetation .
there are no major known threats to this species . although deforestation is ongoing within its range , it is known from coffee plantations with nearby forest and from transitional areas between forest and open areas , so it appears able to tolerate a degree of habitat disturbance ( j . sunyer pers . comm . 2012 ) .
currently , this species is of relatively low conservation concern and does not require significant additional protection or major management , monitoring , or research action . it occurs in several protected areas within its range ; in nicaragua these cover much of the snake ' s range in the country ( j . sunyer pers . comm . 2012 ) .
i’m feeling on a roll with the obscure colubrid snakes , so here are some more ( see the previous article if you feel like you need an introduction ) . again , the photos are used with kind permission of bangor university’s wolfgang wüster unless stated otherwise .
like several of the other ‘colubrids’ we’ve looked at before , tropidodryas is a dipsadine , and in fact molecular data indicates that it’s part of the same dipsadine clade as xenoxybelis and philodryas ( two taxa both mentioned in the previous article ) ( pyron et al . 2011 ) .
finally , here’s the peculiar and little - known dotted brown snake sordellina punctata from south - eastern brazil , the only species in its genus . it’s an oviparous dipsadine , named in 1923 , and often said to frequent wet places . pereira et al . ( 2007 ) concluded that sordellina is mostly a snake of well vegetated , boggy waterside habitats . there are suggestions that it eats frogs and their tadpoles , but i don’t know if these are anything more than speculations . procter ( 1923 ) actually found a specimen of the typhlonectid caecilian chthonerpeton indistinctum in the stomach of the holotype .
sordellina ’s affinities are somewhat uninvestigated . one suggestion is that it’s close to the terrestrial , sometimes semi - fossorial graceful brown snakes ( rhadinaea ) ( jenner 1981 ) and part of the dipsadine ‘tribe’ diaphorolepidini . zaher ( 1999 ) said that these ideas weren’t supported by hemipenial anatomy , but beyond this it wasn’t possible to pin down the affinities of this taxon within dipsadinae .
as always , there are so many other snakes that still need some love at tet zoo . we can all help snakes by being more aware of habitat loss and degradation – many of the species here are tropical forest animals that are threatened by logging , mining and other forms of destruction . the mostly asian trade in snake meat , and the global trade in snake skin and other products , desperately needs more regulation : it’s presently completely unsustainable and putting many snake populations in danger . ivan kwan of the lazy lizard’s tales reminds me that cites held a special asian snake trade workshop in china during april 2011 : you can view and / or download numerous free documents from that meeting here .
and i was horribly inconsistent in this article as goes the use of colubrid or ‘colubrid’ , sorry . you’ll know why . right ?

the last - instar nymph of alcmeone robustus ( butler , 1877 ) ( membracidae , darninae , darnini ) is described and illustrated , and some biological and behavioral notes are provided . the nymphs were observed on pera sp . ( euphorbiaceae ) in the locality of jacareí , state of são paulo , brazil , until they became adults . the newly emerged adults , male and female , are also briefly re - described .
in the present paper , we describe the last - instar nymph of alcmeone robustus ( butler , 1877 ) ( corrected spelling for the species - group name ) , and provide some biological / behavioral notes on the species , including observations on the newly emerged adult males and females .
the campus villa branca of universidade do vale do paraíba ( univap ) , is located in the municipality of jacareí , state of são paulo , brazil ( 23°16 ' 12
s , 45°56 ' 38
w ) , where there is a small remnant of atlantic forest in full regeneration , maintained under the protection of the municipality , together with univap . the city of jacareí is located in the valley of rio paraíba , between são paulo and rio de janeiro , the two largest cities in brazil . the valley includes highly industrialized regions as well as areas of preserved forests along the mountain ranges of serra do mar and serra da mantiqueira , besides .
late - instar nymphs of a . robustus were observed on pera sp . ( euphorbiaceae ) . six nymphs were found during the period of observation ( 2008 - 2012 ) . two individuals ( last - instar ) were collected , brought to the laboratory , and maintained on a small branch cut off from the host plant and placed in a recipient with water , to keep it turgid . the attempt , however , failed and the nymphs did not survive until the adult stage . the other nymphs were accompanied directly on the host plant , using a voile surrounding the branch to protect the nymph from predators . two adults , male and female , emerged . many photographs were taken with a canon ® powershot sx101s and also with dino capture ® connected to a stereo - microscope hund wezlar ® .

remarks . the main characteristics of the last - instar nymph are the large pronotal cylindro - conical process projected obliquely forward , with bifurcated apex ( fig . 4 ) , and the presence of scoli on the vertex ( fig . 5 ) , mesothorax , and segments of abdomen , including pygofer ( figs 1 - 3 ) .
one individual of fourth instar nymph was also observed . the morphology is very similar to that of the fifth instar , as described above , just smaller and the scoli is slender , relatively longer .
material examined . two nymphs from

behavior . the nymphs are solitary and are not attended by ants . they are very mimetic , green in color , hairy , immobile , resembling part of the plant , making them difficult to locate and collect . almost always , near one nymph , or on the same branch , an adult was found . after this observation , other nymphs were located more easily . on the plant , the nymphs prefer the lower branches , those in shadowed places , and at the slender portion near the apex . when touched , they hide , moving rapidly to the other side of the branch .
before transforming into an adult , the nymph usually goes to the undersurface of a leaf , or underside of the branch , inserts the stylets into the plant , and stays still until the transformation occurs . the cuticle opens dorso - longitudinally , along the ecdysial line , and the imago emerges , starting from the head . the exuvia ( fig . 7 ) remains fixed to the branch by the stylets , which anchor the body firmly . thus it does not fall down even with the legs hanging free during emergence . the newly emerged adult is colorless , and stays still for some minutes until the cuticle is hardened and acquires the permanent color .
the adults are also solitary , not attended by ants . one individual is usually found close to a bifurcation point of a branch . the adults and nymphs were found on pera sp . ( euphorbiaceae ) ( figs 11 and 12 ) . adult ( figs 6 and 8 - 10 ) . the adult , in nature ( fig . 6 ) , is light green , with suprahumeral horns , latero - inferior band extended from their bases to humeral angles , and apex of posterior process , dark - brown . forewings brown at base , with large smoky area close to apex and costal margin .
legs : femur and tibia of pro - , meso - , and metathoracic legs without cucullate setae ; metatibia with rows i , ii , and iii with cucullate setae .
male genitalia ( fig . 10 ) . pygopher with lateral plates well developed and distinct , apex rounded ; subgenital plate as long aspygopher , longitudinally incised until near base , apex rounded , curved upwards , concave , spoon - like ; parameres slender , strongly curved almost in right angle , up - and outwards , apex pointed ; aedeagus u - shaped , more or less pyriform , in posterior view widest near apex , in lateral view with upper side flattened bordered with row of tiny spines , or denticles .

epijana cinerea is a moth in the eupterotidae family .

it was described by holland in 1893 .

it is found in the democratic republic of congo ( orientale , equateur ) , equatorial guinea and gabon .

the wingspan about 75 mm .

the forewings are greyish-fawn , crossed beyond the cell by a straight , dark brown transverse line , which runs from the middle of the inner margin to beyond the middle of the costa just before reaching it , at which point it is bent inwardly toward the base .

this line is followed by an obscure parallel line of the same colour which extends from the inner margin to a point opposite the end of the cell .

this is in turn succeeded by an irregularly curved series of brown sagittate markings followed on the outer margin below the apex and near the outer angle by broad , dark brown clouding .

the hindwings are similar to the forewings , but crossed by regularly curved transverse median , transverse limbal and transverse submarginal lines , which are somewhat obscure near the costa .

the maritime ringlet is a dark - appearing butterfly in which the males have dark orange - brown wings with the central part of the forewing slightly paler orange brown . females are pale orange brown , darker than those of the
. on the underside the pale median band contrasts with the dark grey - brown ground colour . about 30 per cent of males and almost all females have a pale - bordered black spot with a silver pupil near the forewing apex on the underside . wingspan : 32 to 36
the maritime ringlet is restricted to salt marshes in chaleur bay between quebec and new brunswick . there are three colonies near bathurst , new brunswick , two near miguasha , quebec , and one near
) , and over winter as a half - grown second - instar larvae .
abundance : this species is common to abundant in the few salt marshes where it occurs .
isolated in chaleur bay , but fieldwork in the area by reginald webster suggests that the maritime ringlet is a distinct species . in the past 20 years the range of the common ringlet has expanded through new brunswick to the chaleur bay area , and the two taxa occur in close proximity but remain distinct . the maritime ringlet feeds only on salt - meadow cordgrass . it is distinct in colour from
, which often flies in old fields on higher ground just a few metres away and never enters the salt marshes . the common ringlet in this area flies from mid - june to mid - july , and the maritime ringlet from late july to late august . even in southern new brunswick , which has much milder summers than bathurst , second - generation common ringlets are very rarely seen , and then only in september .
the maritime ringlet has recently been placed on the new brunswick endangered species list because of the extremely limited and vulnerable habitat in which it is found .

description : maritime ringlet is very similar to common ringlet . both sexes are more darkly colored than the same sex in common ringlet , however female maritime ringlets are just slightly paler than male common ringlets . maritime ringlet is browner beneath than common ringlet . the best way to distinguish these two species is by habitat association and flight period . maritime ringlet flies from late july to early august and rarely strays from its salt marsh habitat . common ringlet flies from early june to late july , with a second brood in mid august and can be found in a variety of field habitats . wingspan : 32 to 36 mm .
maritime distribution : the entire global range is limited to a handful of salt marshes in new brunswick and quebec around chaleur bay . for atlas results click here .
provincial ranks : nb : s1 . ns : - . pei : - .
notes : the maritime ringlet is one of canada’s few endemic species . it is listed as endangered both federally and provincially because of its limited global range and the sensitivity of its saltmarsh habitat to threats like sea level rise . where it is found it is usually common , and owing to its propensity to visit sea lavender ( limonium carolinianum ) flowers , easy to observe .
