Reveal Submitted: 08 Dec. 2013, Accepted: 15 Mar. 2014 H. D. Jayasinghe1,2, S. S. 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.

  • Wolbachia Endosymbiont Infection in Two Indian Butterflies and Female-Biased Sex Ratio in the Red Pierrot, Talicada Nyseus
    Wolbachia endosymbiont infection in two Indian butterflies and female-biased sex ratio in the Red Pierrot, Talicada nyseus 1 2 1, KUNAL ANKOLA , DOROTHEA BRUECKNER and HP PUTTARAJU * 1Division of Biological Sciences, School of Natural Sciences, Bangalore University, Bangalore, India 2Department of Biology, University of Bremen, Bremen, Germany *Corresponding author (Email, [email protected]) The maternally inherited obligate bacteria Wolbachia is known to infect various lepidopteran insects. However, so far only a few butterfly species harbouring this bacterium have been thoroughly studied. The current study aims to identify the infection status of these bacteria in some of the commonly found butterfly species in India. A total of nine butterfly species belonging to four different families were screened using PCR with Wolbachia-specific wsp and ftsZ primers. The presence of the Wolbachia super group ‘B’ in the butterflies Red Pierrot, Talicada nyseus (Guerin) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and Blue Mormon, Papilio polymnestor Cramer (Papilionidae), is documented for the first time in India. The study also gives an account on the lifetime fecundity and female-biased sex ratio in T. nyseus, suggesting a putative role for Wolbachia in the observed female-biased sex ratio distortion.

  • Bus Pass Scheme in Detail the Undertaking Has Introduced RF-ID Based Bus Passes for Its Esteemed Commuters
    Bus Pass Scheme in detail The Undertaking has introduced RF-ID based Bus Passes for its esteemed commuters. The Bus Pass will be issued at the authorized Point of Sale (PoS) of the Undertaking. The details of the scheme are as under. The following rates will come in force from 16/09/2015: i) Distance-wise bus pass values (on Km basis) Distance Fare (`) Within Mumbai Municipal Slab(Kms) Limits (`) Monthly Quarterly 2 8.00 390 1160 4 10.00 480 1440 6 14.00 680 2020 10 18.00 870 2600 14 22.00 1060 3170 20 26.00 1250 3750 Distance is computed on following principles: If direct route exists between the origin and destination, then distance between these stops is considered for calculating the bus pass value. If more than one direct route exists between the origin and destination, minimum distance between these stops is considered for calculating the bus pass value. If direct route is not available between the origin and destination, then distance is calculated of the routes with one change-over point. In case of multiple routes with one change-over point, minimum distance with change-over is considered for calculating the bus pass value. In the event of non-availability of connection between origin and destination even with one change-over, distance based bus pass cannot be given. Under such circumstances, passengers are advised to opt for fixed amount pass. As the bus operation is being changed as per the demand, distance between origin and destinations may not be constant. Under such circumstances bus pass values shall also increase or decrease.

Four generations of T. nyseus has been observed in the same plant during 2015-16. Percent damage in the entire plant and percent damage of individual leaves of total leaf area/leaf were recorded based on visual observation of the foliar damage. The mining pattern was initially blisters transforming into blotches as the larvae gradually increased in size. Keywords: Talicada nyseus, Bryophyllum pinnatum, Bengaluru 1. Introduction Members of the family Lycaenidae show diverse trophic strategies involving herbivory, and carnivory. The larvae of the red Pierrot, Talicada nyseus nyseus (Lycaenidae) are adapted to a special type of environment of leaf mining. There are 8 species in the genus Talicada with oriental distribution viz., annamitica, assamica, buruana, clitophon, khasiana, macbethi, metana and nyseus. The species T. nyseus is represented by two subspecies in India, Talicada nyseus nyseus Guérin-Méneville, 1843 – Indian Red Pierrot and Talicada nyseus khasiana Swinhoe, 1893 – Khasi Red Pierrot.

P.VenkataRamana3* 1,2Research Scholar, Department of Zoology, Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa – 516005 3Assistant Professor, Department of Zoology, Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa – 516005 Received: July 06, 2018 Accepted: August 16, 2018 ABSTRACT The Red pierrot is seasonal in its occurrence at Sri Lankamalleswara forest, Kadapa (14o45’ to 15o12’ N and 78o48’ to 79o6’ E)throughout the year. The succulent rockery plants Kalanchoepinnata (Lamk.) and K. laciniata (Linn.) are mostly the oviposition plants. Breeding was continuous Eggs are laid single; hatching period was 3-4 days after incubation. Larval period spans over 13-18 days. Pupal duration lasts 7-9 days. Changes from egg to adult formation are complete in 24-33 days.Egg hatching success rate high during February – April, larvae to pupae development rate high during March to May. Pupa to adult development rate is high in January – February. Nutritional indices CI, GR and AD decreased as the larvae aged, while those of ECD and ECI increased. The adults forage on nectar and in the process pollen is received on proboscis and transformed stigma which is a trait of psychophily. Keywords: Talicadanyseus, Lankamala forest, Kalanchoepinnata, life cycle. Summary: The population of this red pierrat butterfly was on the decline due to the rapid and continued destruction of natural areas particularly the scrub forests which form the natural habitat of this species.

Website: www.neptjournal.com Observational studies aiming to elucidate the differences in butterfly fauna along altitudinal gradients Received: 30-09-2019 in Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary were carried out during 2014-2015. The study revealed a total of 2591 Revised: 27-10-2019 individuals belonging to 46 species and 35 genera under six families of butterflies.

Family Nymphalidae was the most dominant with 22 species followed by Pieridae (12 species), Lycaenidae (4 species), Papilionidae, Riodinidae (3 species each) Key Words: and Hesperiidae (2 species). Higher values of species richness, abundance and diversity were Diversity of butterflies recorded for transects at the low altitudinal site. Species such as Aglais caschmirensis (Fruhstorfer), Conservation Pieris canidia indica Evans, Pieris brassicae Linnaeus and Byasa polyeuctes letincius (Fruhstorfer) Forest ecosystem were most abundant, while Dodona ouida Hewitson, Udara dilectus Moore, Aulocera padama Kollar, Protected area Talicada nyseus (Guérin-Méneville) and Argynnis childreni (Gray) accounting for 1.38% of the total individuals of butterflies, were least abundant species during the study period.
