Morphologie des Rüssels der Papilionidae (Lepidoptera)

Abstract

Diese Studie untersucht die Morphologie des Schmetterlingsrüssels und der sensorischen Strukturen im Zusammenhang mit der Nektaraufnahme bei Schmetterlingen der Familie Papilionidae. Die lichtmikroskopische Analyse der Galeae von 21 Arten aus allen Unterfamilien konzentriert sich auf die Sensilla styloconica im Trinkbereich nahe der Spitze und die Sensilla basiconica des Nahrungskanals. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine relativ einheitliche Rüsselmorphologie bei den Papilionidae im Vergleich zu anderen Schmetterlingsfamilien wie den Nymphalidae und Noctuoidea. Die monotypische Baroninae, das Schwester-Taxon zu allen anderen Papilionidae, zeigt plesiomorphe Merkmale der Galeae und Sensilla styloconica, ähnlich den Parnassiinae. Die untersuchten Vertreter der Papilioninae zeigen abgeleitete Merkmale der Sensilla styloconica, die eine halbkugelförmige Form aufweisen, sehr kurz sind und kaum über die Galea-Kuticula an der Rüsselspitze hinausragen. Diese Studie liefert Einblicke in die morphologischen Anpassungen an die Nektaraufnahme und die evolutive Geschichte der Papilionidae. Sie betont, wie die Morphologie des Rüssels evolutionäre Druckverhältnisse widerspiegeln kann, die im Zusammenhang mit der Ernährung zur Diversifikation der Arten innerhalb der Überfamilie Papilionoidea führten.

This study examines the proboscis morphology and sensory structures related to nectar-feeding in butterflies of the family Papilionidae. The light microscopical analysis of the galeae of 21 species from all subfamilies focuses on the sensilla styloconica in the drinking region near the tip and sensilla basiconica of the food canal. The results indicate a relatively uniform proboscis morphology across Papilionidae compared to other butterfly and moth families, such as Nymphalidae and Noctuoidea. The monotypical Baroninae, the sister taxon to all other Papilionidae, show plesiomorphic characters of the galeae and sensilla styloconica similar to the Parnassiinae. The studied representatives of the Papilioninae show derived morphology of sensilla styloconica which have hemispherical shape, are very short and barely protrude the galea cuticle at the proboscis tip. This study provides insights into the morphological adaptations to nectar-feeding and the evolutionary history of the Papilionidae. It emphasizes how proboscis morphology can reflect the evolutionary pressures in context with feeding ecological that shaped the diversification of species within the Papilionoidea superfamily.
