Hutan Cinta Raja merupakan salah satu kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL) yang memiliki banyak tanaman berbunga. Daerah penelitian dilalui dua aliran sungai (Long 3 dan Long 4) yang merupakan habitat bagi kupu-kupu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan deskripsi keanekaragaman jenis kupu-kupu serta jenis tumbuhan pakan dan tumbuhan inang pada subordo Rhopalocera. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus sampai dengan Desember 2018 di kawasan hutan primer resort Cinta Raja, TNGL. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah survei eksploratif dan pemotretan. Hasil penelitian didapatkan 4 famili kupu-kupu yaitu Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Papilionidae dan Lycaenidae. Total jenis kupu-kupu yang didapat berjumlah 47 jenis yang terdiri dari Nymphalidae sebnayak 31 jenis, Pieridae sebanyak 7 jenis, Papilionidae sebanyak 6 jenis dan Lycaenidae sebanyak 3 jenis. Jenis tumbuhan pakan dan inang yang dikonsumsi juga sebagai tempat berkembangbiak kupu-kupu ditemukan sebanyak 17 famili. Famili tumbuhan pakan dan inang tersebut antara lain Acanthaceae, Annonaceae, Asteraceae, Bombacaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Leguminoceae, Magnoliaceae, Malvaceae, Melastomataceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Orchidaceae, Rutaceae, Rubiaceae, Sapindaceae dan Verbenaceae.

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.

In the Al-quran there are many verses that explain the animals that exist in this universe, one of which is about Insect. The research on Insect diversity around the Surabaya Undaan Park aims to describe the diversity of Insects and compare the number of members of each order in the Insect class around the Surabaya Undaan Park and look for their relevance to the Qur'anic proposition about the creation of Insects. The method used in this research assignment was observation, which was to go directly to the field to catch Insects in 5 plots in the vicinity of Surabaya Undakan Park with 4 repetitions in each plot, then collect data to be identified. Based on the results of observations, collection and identification, it can be found that there are various Insects in the area. This was evidenced by the discovery of various orders from Insectas, among others: Order Lepidoptera, Order Odonata, Order Hymenoptera, Order Diptera, and Order Orthoptera. Comparison of the number of species from each order is different. The most dominant number of species is in the order of Lepidoptera which was then followed by the order Hymenoptera.

A total of 112 species with 1703 individuals of Papilionoidae (except Lycaenidae) were recorded. The proportion of rare species tends to decrease from the natural forest to the stream sides, while the proportion of common species tends to increase from the natural forest to the stream sides. The stream sides have the greatest individual number, while the disturbed forest contains the greatest species number. The bamboo forest has the least species and individual numbers.

  • Butterfly Extirpations
    RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2018 Conservation & Ecology RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 66: 217–257 Date of publication: 19 April 2018 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:CFF83D96-5239-4C56-B7CE-8CA1E086EBFD Butterfy extirpations, discoveries and rediscoveries in Singapore over 28 years Anuj Jain1,2*#, Khew Sin Khoon3, Cheong Weei Gan2, and Edward L. Webb1* Abstract. Habitat loss and urbanisation in the tropics have been recognised as major drivers of species extinctions. Concurrently, novel habitats such as urban parks have been shown to be important as habitats and stepping stones in urban ecosystems around the world. However, few studies have assessed long-term patterns of species extinctions and discoveries in response to these drivers in the tropics. We know little about long-term persistence and utility of novel habitats in tropical urban ecosystems. In this study, we produced an updated and exhaustive butterfy checklist of species recorded from Singapore till December 2017 to investigate trends in butterfy extirpations (local extinctions), discoveries (new country records) and rediscoveries and how these relate to land use change in 28 years (1990–2017) in Singapore. Up to 144 butterfy species were identifed to be extirpated in Singapore by 1990. From 1990–2017, an additional nine butterfy extirpations have potentially occurred, which suggests a maximum of 153 butterfy extirpations to date. The rate of extirpations between 1990 to 2017 (< 0.33 extirpations per year) was much lower than the rate of extirpations between 1926 to 1989 (> 1.52 extirpations per year). The majority of potentially extirpated butterfies between 1990 to 2017 were species restricted to mature forests.
