Diversity of butterfly communities of a tropical rain forest of Bu Gia Map National Park in South Vietnam was studied in four different habitat types (the natural forest, the disturbed forest, the bamboo forest, and the stream sides in the forest) in December 2008 and April 2009. A total of 112 species with 1703 individuals of Papilionoidae (except Lycaenidae) were recorded. The proportion of rare species tends to decrease from the natural forest to the stream sides, while the proportion of common species tends to increase from the natural forest to the stream sides. The stream sides have the greatest individual number, while the disturbed forest contains the greatest species number. The bamboo forest has the least species and individual numbers. -

Exploring the Diversity of Butterflies (Lepidoptera) at Different Elevations in Genting Highlands and the Validity of Graphium Species in Peninsular Malaysia
EXPLORING THE DIVERSITY OF BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA) AT DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS IN GENTING HIGHLANDS AND THE VALIDITY OF GRAPHIUM SPECIES IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA KAREN CHIA HUEY MIN DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES FACULTY OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT Butterflies play an ecological role as pollinators, prey, defoliators and herbivores. They are in abundant and diverse in many ecosystems. However, they are serves as indicators of ecosystem change and predict environmental alternation. This study was conducted to (1) compare the attractiveness of ten types of fruit bait and make recommendations on the most efficient fruit bait types for trapping butterflies in the South East Asian tropical forest; (2) investigate how butterfly diversity is related to elevation at Genting Highlands in Peninsular Malaysia; and (3) explore the phylogenetic relationships within Graphium and the validity of Pathysa. The bait trap is one of the most common methods used for trapping butterflies in the field and particularly for fruit feeding butterflies. The present study was conducted to determine the efficiency of traps baited with ten different fruit baits. Traps were baited with either: banana (Musa spp), chiku (Manikara sapota), citrus (Citrus aurantifolia), dragon fruit (Hyllocereus undatus), guava (Psidium guajava), papaya (Carica papaya), pineapple (Ananas comosus), rose apple (Syzygium malaccense), star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) at Ulu Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. A total of 194 Nymphalids butterflies of 28 species were recorded in our study. Banana was found to be the most attractive bait trapping a total of 14 species of Nymphalids. -
* Abstract Kon Ka Kinh National Park Belongs to Kon Tum Plateau and Has High Value of Diversity in Vietnam Forestry
1* Abstract Kon Ka Kinh National Park belongs to Kon Tum Plateau and has high value of diversity in Vietnam Forestry. Since the first survey in 1999, the butterflies in Kon Ka Kinh is little known. We conducted the investigation to study their butterfly population and factors affect butterfly distribution in a mountainous forest. Pollard walk method with a hand-net method was used for observation. 323 species were recorded, including 235 species in this survey. There were three new records for Vietnam and three new records in Central Vietnam. Nymphalidae is the dominating family. Our result indicated the impact of seasons, water resource, elevation and forest type on butterfly diversity. Their diversity is higher in the rainy season, where above ground water resource is highly available. The diversity indexes also are higher at a lower elevation and disturbed forest area. 1 I.

DRF is located between 27.250N to 27.300N latitude and 94.500E to 950E longitudes with an elevation of about 102m. Due to surrounding of subtropical climate, the average annual rainfall is about 27cm and the average relative humidity recorded is about 78%. The temperature is ranges from 8.50C to 33.40C (Bora et al, 2015). In Assam, documentation on butterflies was first reported by Doubleday (1845) and followed by De Niceville (1880), Doherty (1890), Evans (1900-1957), Norman (1953), Cantlie & Norman (1959 - 1962) like various entomologist, naturalist worked in British Assam. But most of the British lepidopterist had collected their specimen or published reported from adjacent hills - Abor Hills (Moore 1857; Evans 1912) and Mishimi Hills (Moore 1857; Evans 1912; South 1913), mountain districts of North East India (Talbot 1939, 1947 and Bettes 1950) and some from Upper Assam.

Meitei* *Research Scholar, Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University, Silchar, Cachar District, Assam, India (Corresponding author: Atanu Bora) (Received 08 July, 2014, Accepted 09 August, 2014) ABSTRACT: The present paper is based on observations and sighting records of butterfly fauna from March 2012 to February 2013 in five major Tea Gardens, Sivasagar District of Assam, India. The district has 119 tea estates which covers an area of 88, 008 hectares of land. The beautiful tea gardens provide a very attractive landscape to the district. Based on the study of butterfly diversity in the study area, a checklist has been prepared. A total of 104 butterfly species belonging to 5 families of order Lepidoptera were recorded during the study period. The family Nymphalidae, represented by 46 species was the most dominant followed by Lycaenidae (23 species), Hesperiidae (13 species), Pieridae (13 species) and Papilionidae (9 species) being the least. From the conservation point of view, the study areas are undisturbed and rich in butterfly fauna. Keywords: Tea gardens, Sivasagar District, Assam, India, butterfly species.
