Journal of the Asian Elephant Specialist Group GAJAH
NUMBER 46 2017 GAJAHJournal of the Asian Elephant Specialist Group GAJAH Journal of the Asian Elephant Specialist Group Number 46 (2017) The journal is intended as a medium of communication on issues that concern the management and conservation of Asian elephants both in the wild and in captivity. It is a means by which everyone concerned with the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), whether members of the Asian Elephant Specialist Group or not, can communicate their research results, experiences, ideas and perceptions freely, so that the conservation of Asian elephants can benefit. All articles published in Gajah reflect the individual views of the authors and not necessarily that of the editorial board or the Asian Elephant Specialist Group.

E-mail: Abstract: Quantification of butterfly diversity and species richness is of prime importance for evaluating the status of protected areas. Permanent line transect counts were used to record species richness and abundance of butterfly communities of different habitat types in Trishna wildlife sanctuary. A total of 1005 individuals representing 59 species in 48 genera belonging to five families were recorded in the present study. Of these, 23 species belonged to the family Nymphalidae and accounted for 38.98% of the total species and 45.20% of the total number of individuals. Mature secondary mixed moist deciduous forest showed the maximum diversity and species richness, while exotic grassland showed minimum diversity and species richness. Out of 59 species, 31 are new records for Tripura state, while 21 are unique species and nine are listed in the threatened category. This study revealed that mature secondary forests are more important for butterfly communities, while exotic grasslands have a negative impact on species composition.

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.

Eight species of Dragonflies, fourteen species of Butterflies, and eighteen species of beetles are identified . No threatened or endangered species were found in this survey during twenty-four hours of field observations . The area is undoubtedly home to many more species than those listed in this report. Of note, the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabakov was not seen even though it has been reported from Illinois Beach State Park, Lake County . The larval food plant, Lupinus perennis, for the blue was not observed at Waukegan. The limestone seeps habitat of the endangered Hines Emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana, is not part of the ecology here . One surprise is the. breeding population of Buckeye butterflies, Junonia coenid (Hubner) which may be feeding on Purple Loosestrife .

INTRODUCTION BY G. TALBOT. It is important to know exactly where type specimens are to be found. The British Museum set an example by publishing catalogues of some of their Rhopalocera types, and we hope this will be continued. Mr. Gabriel, who was responsible for that work, has been asked by Mr. Joicey to prepare a catalogue for the Hill Museum. The original description of almost every name in this catalogue has been examined for the correct reference, and where the sex or habitat was wrongly quoted, the necessary correction has been made. -

THE BUTTERFLIES of the YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC, by Torben B
Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 38(2), 1984, 147 BOOK REVIEWS THE LIFE HISTORIES OF BUTTERFLIES OF JAPAN. VOLUME I. PAPILIONIDAE, PIERIDAE, DANAIDAE, by Hamo Fukuda, Eiichi Hama, Takeshi Kuzuya, Akira Takahashi, Mayumi Takahashi, Ban Tanaka, Hiroshi Tanaka, Mario Wakabayashi and Yasuyuki Watanabe. xxii + 277 pp., 64 col. pis., 1982. Hoikusha Publishing Co., Ltd., 17-3, l-chome, Uemachi, Higashi-Ku, Osaka, 540, Japan. (Price not stated in review copy.) This book treats the up-to-date knowledge of the early stages, adult behavior and distribution of all resident and vagrant species of the families mentioned. The area covered ranges from Hokkaido southwest to Iriomote-Jima. Thus, the entire chain, rang ing from Arctic-Alpine to Subtropical conditions, is included. The main text is in Japanese and appears to be authoritative as extensive references are cited and topics such as changes in distribution and mortality curves are included. For the majority of our membership there are 12 pages of capsule species accounts with cross reference to the color plates and 16 pages and distribution maps. As we have come to expect from Japanese books, the color plates are of high quality with the colors appearing sharp and true. For each species the adults as found in nature, egg, larva, and pupa are portrayed. Often the habitat or host plant is also included. The adults are often shown in natural behavioral activities such as mating, oviposition, taking moisture or nectaring. The pictures are excellent but occasionally not clear. For those interested in the many parallels in the life history traits between our species and those of Japan, this book is a must.
