KEY WORDS Lepidoptera! inventory1 tropical rainforesti species diversity1 species richness! insect fauna Introduction The primary lowland forests in the Southeast Asian (SEA) tropics are characterized by the extremely species-rich biodiversity (Whitmore 1998). Arthropod assemblages comprise the main part of the biodiversity in tropical rainforests (Erwin 1982, Wilson 1992). Many inventory studies have been done focusing on various arthropod taxa to reveal the species-richness of arthropod assemblages in SEA tropical rainforests (e.g. Holloway & lntachat 2003). The butterfly is one of the most studied taxonomic groups in arthropods in the SEA region; the accumulated information on the taxonomy and geographic distribution were organized by Tsukada & Nishiyama (1980), Yata & Morishita (1981), Aoki et al.

Tatu2 and R. D. Kamboj3 1,2,3Gujarat Ecological Education and Research (GEER) Foundation, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India *Corresponding Author: [email protected], Tel:+91-8980588545 Available online at: www.isroset.org Received: 17/Sept/2018, Accepted: 29/Sept/2018, Online: 31/Oct/2018 Abstract- Ahmedabad‟s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport is known to have a high potential of bird-aircraft collision hazards. For determining the causes and magnitude of the problem and to find out likely solutions, birds, other small animals (mammals and reptiles) and insects were monitored by Gujarat Ecological Education and Research (GEER) Foundation, Gandhinagar during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons between 2015 and 2017. For monitoring birds, two linear transects were laid, one each along each side of the runway. Besides transect-based bird surveys, bird species were also randomly recorded in other parts of the airport premises and even outside it (within 1 km belt parallel to the airport boundary). A total of 59 species of birds were encountered within the airport premises that belonged to 30 different families. Of these, 48 species were recorded along the transects. The majority (i.e., 83%) of the total 59 species were either obligate or facultative insectivorous birds. As the majority of birds were found to be obligatorily or facultatively insectivorous, insect monitoring was also carried out.

L.D evyatkin & A. L Monastyrskii received 5.V.2003 Summary: A total of 67 species is added to the list of Hesperiidae of southern Vietnam, 15 of them being new for the country as a whole. A new subspecies, Pyroneura callineura natalia subspec. nov. is described and illustrated. Taxonomic notes on certain species are presented. Since the previous publication summarizing the knowledge of the Hesperiidae in the southern part of Vietnam (Devyatkin & M onastyrskii , 2000), several further localities have been visited by research expeditions and individual collectors. The annotated list below is based predominantly on the material collected in the Cat Tien Na­ ture Reserve in 2000 (no year is given for the label data in the list), which was most profoundly studied and proved to be very rich and diverse in terms of the butterfly fauna, and contains new records for the south of the country along with some taxonomic corrections made in view of the new data. Although some of the areas concerned in this paper may be geographically attributed to the southern part of Central Vietnam (or Annam), they were not regarded in our previous publica­ tions dedicated to the northern and central areas of the country (Devyatkin & M onastyrskii , 1999, 2002), the new data thus being supplementary to those published before on the south­ ern part of Vietnam (Devyatkin & M onastyrskii , 2000).

  • Dangling Shells and Dangerous Spiders: Malacophagy and Mimicry in Terrestrial Gastropods
    Folia conchyliologica , n°7 , Février 2011 Dangling shells and dangerous spiders: malacophagy and mimicry in terrestrial gastropods 2 par Abraham S.H. BREURE Abstract . ─ Shells dangling on lines attached to a substratum may be either empty shell in use by spiders, or gastropods in hibernation. Previous data on dangling gastropods and malacophagy by spiders and harvestmen are summarized and discussed. Some new observations on dangling shells are reported from various localities in the West Indies. Keywords . ─ Gastropoda, Annulariidae, Cyclophoridae, Araneae, Opiliones, malacophagy, mimicry, Malaysia, West Indies. Résumé . – Les coquilles suspendues par des fils attachés à un substrat peuvent être soit des coquilles vides utilisées par les araignées, soit des gastéropodes en hivernation. Les données antérieures sur les gastéropodes suspendus et la malacophagie par les araignées et les opilions sont résumées et discutées. Quelques nouvelles observations sur les coquilles suspendues sont signalées dans diverses localités des Antilles. Mots clés . ─ Gastropoda, Annulariidae, Cyclophoridae, Araneae, Opiliones, malacophagie, mimétisme, Malaysie, Antilles. Introduction Recently DEELEMAN -REINHOLD (2009) published an observation that she, as an arachnologist, made some years ago when collecting spiders in rainforests in Borneo. She observed shells of Alycaeus (Cyclophoridae), dangling on lines attached to limestone slabs. This behaviour was cursorily reported by SCHILTHUIZEN et al . (1999). However, as Deeleman-Reinhold found eight spiderlings inside the 22 shells observed, behind the operculum, she suggested that the shells were possibly used for shelter or deposition of eggs. More generally, observations on spider-gastropod interaction are usually limited to prey-predator relationships. Although spiders have been reported in entomological literature to predate on gastropods (for a review, see NYFELLER & S YMONDSON , 2001; see also ACOSTA & M ACHADO , 2007), this is hardly reported in malacological literature (DU PREEZ , 2001; POLLARD & J ACKSON , 2004).

A total of 114 species of butterflies belonging to 6 families were recorded. Most of the butterflies recorded belong to the family Nymphalidae (35 species). 34 Lycaenidae species were recorded. A total of 18 Hesperiidae and 18 Pieridae species were recorded, 8 species were recorded from the Papilionidae and 1 species from the Riodinidae family. Among the 114 butterflies recorded, 9 species come under the protection category of the Indian Wild Life (protection) Act 1972 (i.e., Pachliopta hector, Appias albina, Appias libythea, Eurema an- dersonii, Euploea core, Hypolimnas misippus, Euchrysops cnejus, Lampides boeticus, Ionolyce helicon, Baoris farri).
