Genetic evidence for a sibling species of Heliconius charithonia (Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae)

1998-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Heliconius charithonia is a widespread species which, unlike many Heliconius, is non-mimetic and shows little racial differentiation. Only one form, ‘peruvianus’, which occurs in the dry forest habitats of western Ecuador and Peru, has a distinct and clearly mimetic colour pattern. Here it was shown that H. peruvianus was distinct from H. charithonia bassleri at allozyme loci (D = 0.25 over 22 loci). This differen...
