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.

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.

Keywords: Biodiversity, Bibasis sena, Bindahara phocides, Conservation, Discovery Introduction Tropical regions are very rich in biodiversity but we know very little about them. Because of that, almost 40000 already estimates to have gone extinct over the past 600 years, only 70 have been documented, half of which were Lepidoptera [1]. The world contains roughly 18000- 20000 species of butterflies, of which most are distributed in the tropical region [2, 3]. Butterflies are a biodiversity indicator group and the redundancy of a forest or an area largely depends upon the abundance and diversity of butterflies [4].

Caterpillars were sampled every month from January 2017 – June 2017. A total of 3,434 specimens were identified to 86 species, 55 genera, and 19 families and 37 morphospecies. The most abundant species was Euremablanda (n=1,280). The highest diversity was found in 500 meters above mean sea level (H'= 2.66) and the similarity of caterpillar that occurred in different elevation was low. Keywords: caterpillars, elevation, diversity, KhaoYai National Park. Introduction Khao Yai National Park is a Thailand's first national park, it is the third largest national park in Thailand. Situated mainly in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Khao Yai is part of Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, a world heritage site declared by UNESCO. In at least five different forest type, Khao Yai National Park has complex ecosystem with richness of plant and animal such as mammal bird reptile and insects.

München, download unter www.zobodat.at Atalanta (August 2000) 31 (1/2): 198-204, Würzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 Hesperiidae of Vietnam 71 A Contribution to the Hesperiidae fauna of the southern Vietnam (Lepidoptera) by A. L D evyatkin received 14.XI.1999 Summary: Data on the Hesperiidae fauna of southern Vietnam are summarized, a total of 22 species being added to those previously known from the area. The taxonomic status of sev­ eral taxa listed by other authors is corrected. Apart from the initial general lists of Vitalis de Salvaza (1919) and M etaye (1957), the hesperiid fauna of South Vietnam was studied more or less profoundly only by Inoue & Kawazoe (1964- 1970), who listed in a series of papers a total of 64 species. However, since these papers were written in taxonomic order and remained unfinished, they did not cover a great deal of genera in the subfamily Hesperiinae. The area treated by these authors as "South Vietnam" was much wider than the traditional "Cocin-China", stretching as far north as to Banmethuot (Buon Ma Thuot) (Dac Lac Province) and thus covering in fact the southern part of Annam, which has been traditionally regarded as Central Vietnam. In view of these studies, we did not take into consideration the southernmost part of Annam (south of Gia Lai Province) in our paper on North and Central Vietnam (D evyatkin & M onas - tyrskii, 1999), this area being dealt with in the present paper together with Cochin-China itself. In order to make clear the background, it seems reasonable to reproduce here the bare sum­ marized list of taxa recorded from S.
