Very few studies have looked at the invertebrate diversity of these hill ranges, partcularly buterfies. We present the frst peer-reviewed checklist of buterfies from the northern Eastern Ghats based on a rapid and intensive survey carried out at fve sites over 16 days across the bufer area of Papikonda Natonal Park and Araku Valley in 2015 and 2016. We report a total of 102 species of buterfies from six lepidopteran families. Seventeen signifcant records include numerous frst reports: three new species reports for peninsular India, nine for Eastern Ghats and 14 for the northern Eastern Ghats. This checklist adds 17 species to the known buterfy fauna for the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is hoped that fndings from the study will help to mobilise conservaton research, acton and atenton for the northern Eastern Ghats forest habitats, which are currently threatened by large scale development, security threats due to the Naxalite insurgency and mesoscale exploitaton of forest resources.

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.

Schmidt B.Sc. (Hons) Australian Rivers Institute Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, October 2006 ii iii Summary This study investigated spatial genetic structuring of two groups of Australian Ogyris butterflies (Lycaenidae). Ogyris represents one of several Australian endemic butterfly radiations that is well characterised in terms of basic biology but lacking in data useful for discriminating among the potential factors promoting divergence and speciation. A phylogeographic approach was used to document structuring in mitochondrial DNA markers (mtDNA) across the geographic range of two groups of closely related taxa. These include a pair of sister species: Ogyris zosine and O. genoveva, and the polytypic species O. amaryllis which is comprised of four subspecies. Topological relationships among recognised taxonomic units were tested and polyphyletic patterns investigated as a potential source of information relating to divergence and speciation. Sister species Ogyris zosine and O. genoveva were found to exhibit a polyphyletic relationship based on mtDNA. The deepest divergence within the group separated allopatric populations of O. zosine in northern Australia which do not correspond to a recognised taxonomic entity.

    3. Európa és a Földközi-tenger térségének búska- és pillangó- faunájának magyar nevekkel ellátott fajjegyzéke Az eddigieket kiegészítve, a Tshikolovets (2011) által leközölt fajjegyzék nyomán bemutatom az Európában és a Földközi-tenger térségében előforduló Pillangóalakú lepkék magyar elnevezéseit. Ez olvasható a következőkben. A fajok család, alcsalád és tribusz szerint kerülnek felsorolásra. A rendszertani kategóriákat követően olvasható az odasorolt fajok tudományos és magyar elneve- zése. A tribuszokon belül a fajnevek betűrendben követik egymást. A jegyzékben kövér betűk jelzik a Kárpát-medencében honos vagy kipusztult, vagy az egyetlen vagy néhány példány alapján jelzett fajokat. Ez utóbbi fajok egy ré- sze valóban tenyészett vagy csak ideiglenesen megtelepülő lehetett. Néhány faj elő- fordulási adata viszont bizonyosan elcédulázott vagy félrehatározott példányokon alapult. A tudományos nevek Tshikolovets névjegyzékét követik.(16) A latin név után megadom Tshikolovets könyv oldalszám-hivatkozását, ahol a fajt ábraanyag és rö- vid szöveg mutatja be. Ez után a Gozmány-féle magyar név következik, ami gyakor- latilag a Hétnyelvű Szótár (Gozmány 1979) névanyaga. A kéziratos nevek (Gozmány kézirat, vö. 8. ábra) csak akkor kerülnek felsorolásra, ha a faj a szótárból kimaradt, vagy a név különbözik az ott olvasható névtől. A Gozmány-féle nevek után az álta- lam javasoltak olvashatók (Bálint 2006 és 2008). Sok fajnak nem volt még magyar neve, ezeknek újat adok. Minden ilyen esetet külön jelzek. Bár a Gozmány-féle faji jelzőket igyekeztem megtartani, azoktól szakmai okok miatt számos esetben el kellett térjek. Ezek megindoklásától eltekintek, mivel az je- lentősen megnövelné ennek a munkának a terjedelmét. Viszont a névjegyzék után következő fejezetben megadom a rendszertani kategóriák képzéséhez használt tu- dományos és magyar nevek magyarázatát.

The unique character states of female genitalia newly found in the family Pieridae are discussed. Key words: Kricogonia lyside, Coliadinae, Pieridae, male genitalia, female genitalia, description. Introduction The genus Kricogonia Reakirt, 1863 belonging to the sub family Coliadinae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is distributed from the southern United States to Venezuela, Cuba and the Antilles (Smith et al., 1994). According to Smith et al. (1994), two species are recognized from these areas: Kricogonia lyside (Godart, 1819), the type species of Kricogonia, and Kricogonia cabrerai Ramsden, 1920. Klots (1933) published an excellent generic revision of the family Pieridae in which he illustrated and described the male genitalia of K. lyside, but the relationship of Kricogonia to other pierid genera was not clearly shown.

Science College, Rewa (M.P.), A.P.S. University, Rewa (M.P.). 2 Professor of Zoology Govt. Science College, Rewa (M.P.). Abstract The investigation was conducted at the Jayantikunj, Rewa (M.P.). It is situated at the western site of Govt. Science College Hostel, Rewa (M.P.). Butterfly watching and recording was done in such a way that there should be least one visit in each line transect during a week with the aid of binocular and digital cameras. Total 138 species of butterflies were recorded belonging to 117 genera and 11 families. Lycaenidae family is consisting of maximum number of genera and species. During unfavourable seasons, that in spring and summer, a low population found. Grass yellow (Eurema spp; family pieridae) had high population in all seasons in spring or summer depending on the site. Keywords: Butterfly; Lepidoptera; biodiversity; Jayantikunj 1. Introduction College Hostel, Rewa (M.P.). It is about 0.023 hectares. In There are 1.4 million species on earth; over 53% are insects Jayantikunj rare, vulnurable, medicinal and Threatned species while about 15,000-16,000 species of butterflies are known of plants were planted in the nursery for selling. Besides worldwide (Hossan, 1994) [1]. Butterflies have been regarded planted trees, a variety of annual wild plants and perennial as the symbol of beauty and grace (Rafi et al., 2000) [2].

First, a phylogeographical approach was used to understand the lineage diversity and phylogeographic pattern as well as demographic history of the butterfly. Second, a landmark-based geometric morphometric approach was used to examine morphological variations within and among the genetic lineages inferred by genetic data. In the phylogeographic study, sequences of three mitochondrial genes (COI, Cyt b and ND5) and two nuclear genes (Rpl5 and Ldh) were used. Phylogenetic trees and the median- joining network revealed six evolutionary mitochondrial haplotype clades corresponding to geographic distribution of the species, including two clades from central Honshu, one clade from western Honshu and Shikoku, two clades from Kyushu and one clade from Tsushima Island.
