dc.description.abstract | Background: The redescription of Platymeris rhadamanthus Gerstaecker, 1873 as well as the designation of lectotype
and paralectotype, plus the prediction of the potentially suitable habitat was the main goal of this study. Our research
were based on 262 specimens of museum collections of P. rhadamanthus species and a set of 23 environmental
predictor variables, all recorded in a 1x1 km grid covering Africa. Ecological niche modelling was performed using the
MAXENT analyses to produce predictive potential distribution maps for this species and its colour forms separately.
Results: The results suggested the most suitable areas of distribution of P. rhadamanthus, both for species as a
whole and also for the colour forms. A jackknife test showed that the precipitation of coldest quarter and
herbaceous vegetation were the most important environmental variables affecting the distribution of P.
rhadamanthus. After analyzing the climatic preferences, this species seems to be related mainly to the tropical
savanna climate, subtropical highland variety of the oceanic climate and humid subtropical climate. An analysis of
environmental variables also showed that this species prefers areas with herbaceous vegetation, with a small
participation of trees, which is probably caused by food preferences of its victims.
Conclusions: P. rhadamanthus so far was only known that it occurs in widely understood tropical Africa. On the
base of the museum data on the occurrence of the species and ecological niche modelling methods we provided
new and valuable information of the potentially suitable habitat, the possible range of distribution of the species
and its climatic preferences. | pl_PL |
