Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

ABSTRACT The Lower Gangetic Plains particularly from Dakhineshwar to Uluberia, West Bengal was investigated for the taxonomic and ecological analyses of its naturalized vegetation. The physicochemical studies of soil were also performed from this site. It was observed mangrove plants prevailed at zones where higher percentage of silt was present, while inland plants were grown where percentage of sand and clay were higher. A total of 95 plant species were recorded and their phytoclimatic study was done and the result revealed that percentage of phanerophytes was maximum among others. From phytosociological study it was observed that mangrove associates such as Cryptocoryne ciliata and Oryza coarctata showed highest IVI values, on the other hand Cynodon dactylon was dominated at non-mangrove site. The present analyses indicated existence of two distinct plant communities in the site with more or less stable vegetation pattern. Keywords: Lower Gangetic Plain, vegetation, diversity, community *Corresponding author May–June 2017 RJPBCS 8(3) Page No. 1558 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION Though India has a wide range of vegetation comprising of tropical rain forest, tropical deciduous forest, thorny forest, montane vegetation and mangrove forest, the Gangetic Plains in India form an important biogeographic zone in terms of vegetation characterized by fine alluvium and clay rich swamps, fertile soil and high water retention capacity.

ABSTRACT The butterflies Byblia ilithyia (Nymphalidae), Pieris canidia (Pieridae) and Azanus jesous (Lycaenidae) and the day-flying moth, Nyctemera adversata (Erebidae) are oligophagous. Previously, only B. ilithyia has been reported to be occurring in this region while the other three species are being reported for the first time from this region. The larval host plants include Jatropha gossypiifolia and Tragia involucrata for B. ilithyia, Brassica oleracea var. oleracea and B. oleracea var. botrytis for P. canidia, and Acacia auriculiformis for Azanus jesous. The nectar plants include Tragia involucrata, Euphorbia hirta and Jatropha gossypiifolia for B. ilithyia, Premna latifolia and Cleome viscosa for P. canidia, Lagascea mollis, Tridax procumbens and Digera muricata for A. jesous and Bidens pilosa for 275 N. adversata. The study recommends extensive field investigations to find out more larval plants and nectar plants for each Page lepidopteran species now reported.

Author: Sirichamorn, Yotsawate Title: Systematics and biogeography of Aganope, Brachypterum and Derris (Fabaceae) in Asia Issue Date: 2013-11-28 Chapter 1 General Introduction Aganope, Brachypterum and Derris: Systematics and Biogeography - Chapter 1 General Introduction One of the major problems left in the classification of tribe Millettieae of the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) concerns the Derris-like taxa. Up to now every researcher had different solutions, some would unite all taxa into a single genus, others divided them into several genera. The purpose of this thesis is to tackle the problems at various levels and from different viewpoints. The species will be defined first, after which their phylogeny based on molecular and morphological data will be inferred. The resulting phylogeny will form the basis for a new and less subjective 1 classification. Finally, the biogeographic history of the taxa will be analysed. This General Introduction introduction provides general information of palaeotropic Derris-like taxa. General morphology, ecology and utility of the Asian Derris-like taxa “Derris-like taxa” contain members of the tribe Millettieae (Fabaceae), characterized by their imparipinnate leaves with opposite leaflets and typical flat, usually winged, indehiscent pods. The plants have a pantropical distribution. According to the most recent generic circumscription proposed by Adema (2000), the Asian Derris-like taxa consist of the genera Aganope Miq., Derris Lour. [including Brachypterum (Wight & Arn.) Benth.] and Paraderris (Miq.) Geesink. Derris-like taxa are sometimes very similar because of their overlapping morphological features. Some species also show a high variation in morphological characters and a wide distribution.

The pattern of butterfly abundance and species richness are studied in wild (forest, scrub and grassland) and human-impacted (garden, plantation and grassland) areas in the 190-hectare campus of SGB Amravati University, Amravati, Maharastra, India. A total of 52 butterfly species belonging to Hesperiidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae families were recorded in five areas (biotopes). Species abundance rose from the beginning of the monsoon (June-July) and reached a peak in early winter (August-November). A decline in species abundance was observed from late winter (December-January) and continued up to the end of summer (May). The number of species within biotopes varied from 23 to 33; 17 species were noticeably absent in the disturbed and human-impacted sites (garden, plantation and grassland) and there was no occurrence of unique species in moderately disturbed areas comparable to those of less disturbed wild areas. On the basis of biotope occurrence, 67% of butterfly species were clas- sified as disturbance-adaptable (occurring in all biotopes) and 33% as disturbance avoiders (restricted to wild areas such as forest, scrub and undisturbed areas elsewhere).

M, 2Ella Rao. K, 3Sandhya Deepika.D, 4Atluri. J.B 1,2,3,4 (Department of Botany, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam-530 003, Andhra Pradesh, India.) Abstract: The life history of the Peacock pansy butterfly, Junonia almana and larval performance in terms of food consumption and utilization, and the length of life cycle on its host plant Ruellia tuberosa are described for the first time. The study was conducted during 2008 at Visakhapatnam (17o 42' N and 82 18' E), South India. Junonia almana completes its life cycle in 24.40 1.14 days (eggs 3, larvae, 15 – 16, pupa 5 – 7 days). The values of nutritional indices across the instars were AD (Approximate Digestibility) 44.10 – 95.87%; ECD (Efficiency of Conversion of Digested food) 1.48 – 34.00%; ECI (Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food) 1.41 – 15.00%, measured at the temperature of 28 ± 20 C and RH of 80 ± 10% in the laboratory. These relatively high values of ECD and ECI explain at least partially the ecological success of J. almana in the present study environment. Keywords: Life history, Junonia almana, captive rearing, immature stages, food utilization indices. I. Introduction Butterflies are known for the incontestable beauty of their wing colors, and contribute to the aesthetic quality of the environment.
