Rapid radiation of ant parasitic butterflies during the Miocene aridification of Africa. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Africa has undergone a progressive aridification during the last 20 My that presumably impacted organisms and fostered the evolution of life history adaptations. Using anchored hybrid enrichment we constructed a time‐calibrated phylogeny for Lepidochrysops and its closest, non‐parasitic relatives in the Euchrysops section (Poloyommatini, Lycaenidae ...

The Host Genera of Ant‐Parasitic Lycaenidae Butterflies: A Review
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Numerous butterfly species in the family Lycaenidae maintain myrmecophilous associations with trophobiotic ants, but only a minority of ant‐associated butterflies are parasites of ants. Camponotus, Crematogaster, Myrmica, and Oecophylla are the most frequently parasitized ant genera.
