英文摘要 | We describe for the first time the immature stages of the Ecuadorian endemic urban butterfly, Catasticta flisa duna Eitschberger & Racheli, from Quito, Ecuador. A mistletoe species, Phoradendron nervosum Oliv. (Viscaceae), is identified as the host plant. Phoradendron nervosum is an aerial-stem hemiparasite in the order Santalales that is parasitic on Prunus serotina (Ehrh), a common tree species in the gardens and parks of Quito. We report Podisus sp. (Pentatomidae), a predatory stink bug, as a predator of C. f. duna pupa. Additionally, parasitoid flies (Tachinidae) were obtained from some larvae. We compare the immature stages of C. f. duna and the subspecies C. flisa flisandra Reissinger from Costa Rica, providing for the first-time head chaetotaxy and setal maps for this diverse genus. Finally, we emphasize the importance of urban green spaces which provide habitat for many native species. Such urban oases should be considered as important resources for conservation, whose development and management benefit urban biodiversity and ecological networks, as well as enhancing the quality of life for the city's human inhabitants. RESUMENDescribimos por primera vez los estados inmaduros de la mariposa endemica ecuatoriana Catasticta flisa duna de Quito Ecuador. Un muerdago, Phoradendron nervosum Oliv. (Viscaceae), se identifica como la planta hospedera, esta es un hemiparasito aereo en el orden de los Santalales, el cual es un parasita a Prunus serotina Ehrh. que es comun encontrar en los jardines y parques de Quito. Se reporta a un chinche Podisus sp. (Pentatomidae) como depredador, encontrandole alimentandose de pupas y se obtienen moscas parasitoides (Tachinidae) de algunas larvas. Comparamos entre los estados inmaduros de C. f. duna y C. flisa flisandra de Costa Rica, proveemos por primera vez dibujos de la quetotaxia de la cabeza y mapas setales para este genero diverso. Finalmente, enfatizamos la importancia de las areas verdes en las ciudades, las cuales brindan oportunidades de habitat para especies nativas. Estos oasis urbanos denberian ser considerados como recursos importantes para la conservacio, estrategias podrian proporcionar beneficios para otros elementos de la fauna urbana, las redes ecologicas y para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas. |
