What is it about?
The paper argues that the timing of splits between the majority of sister species of neotropical butterflies is consistent with the time frame of the Pleistocene, and therefore is compatible with Haffer's Pleistocene Refugium Model.

Why is it important?
The paper attempts to restore the Pleistocene as a period of neotropical diversification, rather than a period of net loss of diversity, as implied by some authors.
