This is the frst record from Odisha 2013). Older literature report it from Sri Lanka to almost 129 years afer its frst report from Khurda in coastal Odisha by peninsular India (Bingham 1905; Antram 1924), Taylor & de Niceville in the year 1888. The ecology and sampling of the species are described in this study. common, widespread and endemic to these regions (Gaonkar 1996). It is locally very common in the low Keywords: Bait trap, buterfy, Eastern Ghats, ecology, Koraput. jungles of the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris (Wynter- Blyth 1957). Talbot (1947) reported this species as “not-rare” from peninsular India to Odisha region. The subfamily Satyrinae, with about 2,500 described Gaonkar (1996) reported it from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, species, is one of the most diverse groups of buterfies Karnataka, Goa, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. In recent (Peña & Wahlberg 2008), comprising over a third of tmes, it has been reported from Kotagiri in the Nilgiris, the Nymphalidae diversity and found on all contnents the moist-deciduous forests in Biligiriranga Hills and except Antarctca (Ackery et al. 1999; DeVries 2000). Wyanad, the Nadgani Ghat and Silent Valley (Mathew The group is partcularly diverse in the Neotropics, with & Soumya 2013). The species has also been reported approximately 1,200 species in 137 genera (Lamas et from Kalakad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu al. 2004), occurring in all habitats with vegetaton (Devy & Davidar 2001). There are quite a few reports from sea level to the highlands of the Andes (DeVries of its occurrence from various parts of southern India 1987). Satyrinae buterfies in India are represented by partcularly from the states of Karnataka (Districts of 190 species under fve tribes and 18 genera (Varshney Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, Shivamogga, Utara Kannada, & Smetacek 2015) and 30 species in peninsular India Hassan, Mysore, and Dakshina Kannada), Kerala (Kunte 2000).

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.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity in the world.[1][2] It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India.[3] The range runs north to south along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, and separates the plateau from a narrow coastal plain, called Konkan, along the Arabian Sea. A total of thirty nine properties including national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and reserve forests were designated as world heritage sites - twenty in Kerala, ten in Karnataka, five in Tamil Nadu and four in Maharashtra.[4][5] The range starts near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, south of the Tapti river, and runs approximately 1,600 km (990 mi) through the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu ending at Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of India.
