So far, six species of Oxeoschistus Butler, including its junior synonym Dioriste Thieme, were listed from Central America, with five of them from Costa Rica alone, which appears to represent the highest regional diversity of this Neotropical montane butterfly genus. Our research based on field work, morphological studies and barcode analysis proved that one record is a misunderstanding perpetuated in scientific literature for over a century: Oxeoschistus cothonides Grose-Smith is identified here as an individual form of the female of O. cothon Salvin. The presence of Oxeoschistus tauropolis (Westwood) in Costa Rica, subject to some controversy, is confirmed, and a new local subspecies is described from Costa Rica, O. tauropolis mitsuko Pyrcz & Nakamura n. ssp. Specific status of O. euriphyle Butler is reinstated based on morphological and molecular data. A new subspecies O. hilara lempira Pyrcz n. ssp. is described from Honduras. O. puerta submaculatus Butler is reported for the first time from the Darién region on the Panama-Colombia border. Species relationships are preliminarily evaluated based on COI data concluding, among others, that O. hilara and O. euriphyle are less closely related than previously assumed. Altitudinal and distributional data are revised, and ecological and behavioural information of all the species of Central American Oxeoschistus is provided.
到目前为止,已从美洲中部列出了六种奥克肖肖蛱蝶属(Oxeoschistus Butler),包括其次异名迪奥里斯蛱蝶属(Dioriste Thieme),其中仅来自哥斯达黎加的就有五种,这似乎代表了这个新热带山地蝴蝶属在该地区的最高多样性。我们基于野外工作、形态学研究和条形码分析的研究证明,有一条记录是在科学文献中延续了一个多世纪的误解:格罗斯 - 史密斯(Grose-Smith)所定的科托尼德斯奥克肖肖蛱蝶(Oxeoschistus cothonides)在这里被鉴定为科托奥克肖肖蛱蝶(O. cothon Salvin)雌蝶的一种个体形态。哥斯达黎加存在有一定争议的陶罗波利斯奥克肖肖蛱蝶(Oxeoschistus tauropolis (Westwood))得到了确认,并从哥斯达黎加描述了一个新的地方亚种,即陶罗波利斯奥克肖肖蛱蝶米茨科亚种(O. tauropolis mitsuko Pyrcz & Nakamura n. ssp.)。基于形态学和分子数据恢复了欧里菲勒奥克肖肖蛱蝶(O. euriphyle Butler)的物种地位。从洪都拉斯描述了一个新亚种,即希拉拉莱姆皮拉奥克肖肖蛱蝶(O. hilara lempira Pyrcz n. ssp.)。首次从巴拿马 - 哥伦比亚边境的达连地区报道了亚黄斑普埃尔塔奥克肖肖蛱蝶(O. puerta submaculatus Butler)。基于细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)数据对物种关系进行了初步评估,得出的结论包括,希拉拉奥克肖肖蛱蝶和欧里菲勒奥克肖肖蛱蝶的亲缘关系比之前认为的要远。修订了海拔和分布数据,并提供了中美洲奥克肖肖蛱蝶所有物种的生态和行为信息。
