(mis-identification) Aphnaeus syama formosana; Seitz 1927 (not Matsumura): the Macrolepidoptera of the world: 937, pl. 156, fig. 156h; Hirayama (not Moore) 1933: Butterflies in Colour: pl. 20, Fig. 3; pl. 21, fig. 3. (mis-identification) Aphnaeus syama formosana ab. nakaharai Naritomi 1941: Kontyukai 91: 618, pl. 4, Fig. 4. Diagnosis. Ssp. lamuae is characteristic by distal band of central symmetry system of hindwing undersides broken posteriorly at 1A+2A (Figs. 10, 12, 14, 16), whereas this band is continuous, forming a complete V-shaped band in the other subspecies (Figs. 18, 20). The appearance of ssp. lamuae is most similar to ssp. sepulveda Fruhstorfer, 1912 of continental China (Figs. 17–20, 30–34) in wing patterns, sharing the feature of distal band of central symmetry system of forewing undersides in touch with parafocal elements. Ssp. lamuae demonstrates profound seasonal variation, with the markings on wing undersides of individuals emerged in dry/cooler months reduced and turning reddish (Figs. 12, 16). By contrast, seasonal variation is absent in ssp. sepulveda, with individuals emerged from all seasons possessing black spots and bands (Figs. 18, 20); posterior margin of costa on valva is smooth in lamuae (Fig. 27), whereas it is unevenly serrate in ssp. sepulveda (Fig. 32).

Paratypes deposited in NHM, NMNS, and NTNU. Bionomics. Female butterfly oviposits on foliage (twig or leaf) of hostplant (Fig. 43, 44) in the presence of associated ants. Larvae are phytophagous but tended by Crematogaster ants on regular basis (Lin 2011). The larvae devour leaves by scratching epidermis and mesophyll. Larvae conceal themselves gregariously in shelters construct- ed by tying dry leaves while not feeding (Figs. 45). Pupation is taken place within the larval shelters (Figs. 46). Hostplants. Plants oviposited by females or utilized by immatures in the wild included Maesa japonica (Primulaceae) (04F53, oviposition), Ardisia crenata (Primulaceae) (09C26, 09J46, larvae), A. cornudentata morrisonensis (Primulaceae) (09H10, oviposition; 10H20, larvae), A. cornudentata cornudentata (Primulaceae) (09K4, 10H27, 10J52, 11D33, larvae), Mallotus japonica (Euphorbiaceae) (10G26, larva) and Smilax odortissima (Smilaceae)(10J41, larvae). Myrmecophily. This butterfly is obligatorily associated with Crematogester amia (09C26, 09H10, 10G26, 10H20, 10J41) and C. popohana (09K4, 10H27, 10J52, 11D33) in the wild, but larvae may complete development without presence of ants in laboratory (Lin 2011). Etymology. The subspecific name lamuae refers to a comic character Lam (Lamu) created by a famous manga artist Rumiko Takahashi. The patterns of wing undersides recall the graphic design of the bikini Lam wears. Remarks. Seitz (1927) states that S. syama in Taiwan is diagnosable by having the ground color of wing undersides being white, but examined specimens and illustrations of literature all have yellow or creamy yellow ground color on wing undersides.Published as part of Hsu, Yu-Feng & Liang, Jia-Yuan, 2020, On systematic status of Spindasis syama Horsfield, [1829] in Taiwan and the Philippines (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Aphnaeini), pp. 485-500 in Zootaxa 4763 (4) on pages 491-494, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4763.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/376205

P. (2025) Compound data for User-Friendly, Living Coordination-Insertion Polymerizations with Broad Functional Group Tolerance. [Dataset] Cornell University eCommons Repository. https://doi.org/10.7298/hte0-qx36These files contain data supporting all results reported in Hsu et. al. User-Friendly, Living Coordination-Insertion Polymerizations with Broad Functional Group Tolerance. In Hsu et. al. we found: The development of new user-friendly polymerizations for the synthesis of advanced functional materials has the ability to significantly accelerate discovery in materials science. However, it is often difficult to develop robust methodologies that overcome the sensitivities of many polymerization types and enable well-controlled polymerizations of diverse functional monomers. Herein, we introduce (Ad3P)Pd(Me)SbF6 as a bench-stable, single-component catalyst that is capable of living coordination-insertion polymerization of substituted norbornenes conducted open to air, at room temperature, and with broad tolerance to over 30 different functional groups. Our studies revealed that the electron-donating phosphine ligand, tri(1- adamantyl)phosphine (Ad3P), and a silver salt activating species were pivotal for maintaining well-controlled polymerizations in the presence of coordinating functionalities. We demonstrated the livingness of this catalytic system, and generated block copolymers, ultra-high molecular weight polymers, and functional polymers from a range of substituted norbornenes. Overall, this work enables coordination-insertion polymerization as a user-friendly technique for the direct synthesis of advanced functional materials.This work was supported by the Center for Alkaline-Based Energy Solutions (CABES), an Energy Frontier Research Center program supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, under Grant DE-SC0019445.
