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.

  • Sri Lanka Wildlife Tour Report 2014 Birdwatching Butterfly Mammal
    Sri Lanka The Enchanted Isle A Greentours Trip Report 17th February to 7th March 2014 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists written by Paul Cardy Day 0/1 Monday February 17th & Tuesday February 18th Journey to Sri Lanka and to Kandy A rather unusual beginning to the tour this year, as I had been in the north checking out some new areas, and the two different flight arrivals were met by our excellent ground agents. I arrived at the Suisse in Kandy late morning to meet Geoff, Margaret, and Mary and before too long Rees and Carol arrived. Free time followed with lunch available if and when wanted. On the lake in front of the hotel were Indian Cormorants, Little Cormorants, Little and Great Egrets, and Black-crowned Night Herons. Basking on the same log was Indian Softshell Terrapin. Three-spot Grass Yellow, Psyche, and Zebra Blue flew in the hotel gardens, which supported a very large Flying Fox roost. We met up at 3.30 for an afternoon excursion. In three-wheelers we motored around the lake to a small guesthouse, the terrace of which overlooks the good forest of the Udawattakelle Sanctuary. White-bellied Sea Eagle was much in evidence throughout our stay, with two birds in the air over the forest. Yellow-fronted Barbet, Orange Minivets, Oriental White-eyes, Bar-winged Flycatcher Shrike, and Hill Mynas were all seen well. Sri Lanka Hanging Parrots regularly flew over, calling, which would be how we would most often see them during the tour, and Ceylon Swallows were in the air.

  • Sri Lanka Wildlife Tour Report 2013 Birdwatching Butterfly Mammal
    Sri Lanka The Enchanted Isle A Greentours Trip Report 18th February to 8th March 2013 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists written by Paul Cardy Day 0/1 Monday February 18th, Tuesday February 19th Journey to Sri Lanka, and to Kandy Both flights arrived on schedule, and Mr Silva was at the airport early in the morning to meet first the group arriving from London, and shortly afterwards me coming from Italy via Abu Dhabi. Once aboard the spacious bus we drove through reasonably quiet streets in the dark although there was already quite a bit of traffic on the road. Once light, very common birds began with House and Jungle Crows; a selection of egrets; Red-vented Bulbul; White-throated Kingfisher; and Rose-ringed Parakeets. We also drove past a very large Flying Fox roost. After about two and a half hours we reached a bustling Kandy, and our hotel, The Suisse. Around the lake were Indian Cormorants, Spot-billed Pelican, Little and Great Egrets, and Black-crowned Night Herons. The staff at the hotel gave a warm welcome and it was impressive that they let us check in so early in the day, although there was a slight wait for some of the rooms. While we waited an excellent buffet breakfast was enjoyed. A Common Evening Brown perched on the walls of the hotel. Then it was time for sleep, and most of us managed a few hours, with lunch optional, and delicious for those who attended. We met up at 3.30 for an afternoon excursion.

While individual animals are not christened by a proper name like human beings. except for example pets, the group of animals are always so named to distinguish them from other groups. In some cases these groups are given different names for their young ones or sexes, due to the changed structure. These names are simple and easily under­ stood and called as 'popular name', 'common name', or 'vernacular name'" Many of such names in the due course have established and are widely used and understood with definiteness in different parts of the world.

RES., 22(2): 80-92, 2012 VAN DER POORTEN: Immatures of Satyrinae in Sri Lanka NEW AND REVISED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE IMMATURE STAGES OF SOME BUTTERFLIES IN SRI LANKA AND THEIR LARVAL FOOD PLANTS (LEPIDOPTERA: NYMPHALIDAE). PART 2: SUBFAMILY SATYRINAE George van der Poorten and Nancy van der Poorten 17 Monkton Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M8Z 4M9 Canada; Email: [email protected] Abstract - The immature stages and larval food plants of 13 of the 17 species of butterflies of the family Nymphalidae, subfamily Satyrinae, in Sri Lanka are presented. The immature stages of 6 species in Sri Lanka are reported for the first time. The larval food plants of 12 species in Sri Lanka are documented for the first time while for 2 species, larval food plants previously reported in Sri Lanka are confirmed. The immature stages of 7 species that have been previously described from Sri Lankan material are compared to the findings of the current study and additional observations are presented. This study provides the basic information for further studies on the biology of these species and base information necessary to formulate conservation management programs for butterflies in Sri Lanka. Key words: Immature stages, larval food plants, Sri Lanka, Ceylon, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae, Lepidoptera, butterflies, conservation. INTRODUCTION the immature stages and larval food plants of the butterflies in Sri Lanka to assist in the proper documentation of the status A comparison of the latest published IUCN Red List data of a particular species and to provide the baseline information on the butterfly fauna of Sri Lanka to historical records necessary in conservation management planning.
