原文標題：Phylogeny of Neotropical Castniinae (Lepidoptera: Cossoidea: Castniidae): testing the hypothesis of the mimics as monophyletic group and implications for the arrangement of the genera

摘要 [原文網址]

A cladistic analysis of the Neotropical Castniidae is presented using 120 morphological characters, and a taxonomic treatment based on that analysis is also presented. The tribe Gazerini as previously delimited was found to be paraphyletic with respect to the genera Ceretes,Divana, Riechia, Frostetola, and Oiticicastnia. The genera Castnia, Geyeria, and Athis were also found to be non-monophyletic taxa. The mimicry pattern had multiple independent origins in the Neotropical castniids, and at least two lineages, Riechia and Prometheus, are involved in Batesian mimicry rings with unpalatable butterfly models in the tribes Acraeini and Heliconiini (Nymphalidae). We propose for Castniini 13 new synonymies and 27 new combinations. Geyeria strigata (Walker, 1854) is revalidated. The generic placements of Athis superba (Strand, 1912) and Castnia eudesmia Gray, 1838 are questionable, but presently upheld.

蝶蛾科也是一個大量參與擬態的類群，看起來真的很像蝴蝶，有些類群看起來也的確很像挵蝶，分類上也有被誤分進挵蝶科過，雖然有些類群少量分佈在澳洲與東南亞，這篇主要討論的是分佈在新熱帶區的蝶蛾亞科的分類架構，看起來每個屬都有點參與擬態的感覺，但文中的主要目的在於以型態特徵重建其親緣關係，進一步釐清分類架構，因此判定擬態的類群並非文章的主軸。

文中討論擬態的類群主要參與的類群當然是在該區域優勢的毒蝶族，以及某些細蝶族的的類群，像是下面這個


文中提及至少有兩個主要的分類群參與貝氏擬態，Prometheus（就是普羅米修斯）與 Riechia，分別擬態毒蝶族與細蝶族，也提到另一個東西，Oiticicastnia erycina，可能擬態某些灰蝶科的物種，Eumaeus sp.（取食蘇鐵科，有毒性次級代謝物），而這些參與擬態的支系不意外的皆是獨立演化出來的。
