Zustand: Fine. 688, 1600 col illus. 252x188mm. HB. Fine. Jones's Icones contains finely delineated paintings of more than 760 species of Lepidoptera, many of which it described for the first time, marking a critical moment in the study of natural history. With Iconotypes Jones's seminal work is published for the first time, accompanied by expert commentary and contextual essays, and featuring annotated maps showing the location of each species. Jones painted the species between the early 1780s and 1800, drawing from his own collection and the collections of Joseph Banks, Dru Drury, Sir James Edward Smith, John Francillon, the British Museum and the Linnean Society. For every specimen painting he provided a species name, the collection from which it was taken and the geographical location in which it was found. In 1787, during a visit to London, the Danish scientist Johann Christian Fabricius studied Jones's paintings and based 231 species of butterfly and moths on them. In this enhanced facsimile, Jones's references to historic references are clarified and modern taxonomic names are provided, together with notes on which paintings serve as iconotypes. Contextual commentary by specialist entomologist Richard I. Vane-Wright gives an account of Jones's life and his motivation for collecting butterflies and creating the Icones, and evaluates the significance of his work. Interspersed at intervals between the pages of Jones's paintings are modern maps showing the location of each species painted, and expert essays on the development of lepidoptery and taxonomy after Linneaus, and the roles of collectors and natural history artists from the late 1700s to mid-1800s.

The coloration of the five species of neotropical nymphalid butterflies belonging to the genus Nessaea is discussed. It appears that the development of a brilliant blue pterobilin pigment has been exploited for both specific signalling and cryptic functions. An exphcit phylogeny for the five species, based on wing pattern element homologies, is presented, and compared with results from biometric data. Convergence of two characters is postulated. Predictions of the use of colour pattern differences as isolating mechanisms, and about possibilities of hybridisation, are derived from the phylogenetic hypothesis. Three basic pattern morphs are recognised for the genus and pathway models for their evolution are outlined. It is thought possible that the evolution of one of the species has involved decoupling of the present male (female-like) pattern. The single sister-species pair recognised in the genus is considered, on present evidence, to fit a sympatric speciation model better than an allopatric one. To assist future work on the group, a key for the identification of adults is included, together with a taxonomic revision and notes on the known biology of the species. Six lectotypes are designated and one new synonym is established. 30 pp., 1 color pl.…

Butterflies of the subfamily Danainae, the milkweed butterflies, are a conspicuous element of tropical insect life. The book presents, in detail, a revised cladistic classification of the whole group, and reviews all major facets of danaine biology as currently understood. The classification is based on over 200 characters checked directly from museum specimens, representing all 157 species. Improved keys are given to the species, and all higher groupings. The biological review includes major sections on mimicry , migration, reproductive behaviour and ecology. A separate section surveys the danaine fanas of over 350 countries and islands, giving a worldwide view of distribution, and identifying conservation priorities for the group. London.
