Oh my goodness! Unless you are a Tree of Life developer, you really shouldn't be here. This page is part of our beta test site, where we develop new features for the ToL, often messing up a thing or two in the process. Please visit the official version of this page, which is available here.

Ithomia hymettia (Staudinger 1885)

Chris Jiggins and Andrew V. Z. Brower
Containing group: Ithomia

Introduction

I. hymettia is considered a subspecies of I. lagusa by Lamas (2004), but the cladogram of Mallarino et al. implies that it is a distinct species.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
