  • Notes on some rare and elusive butterflies from Namdapha National Park, Arunachal Pradesh, India with rediscovery of two subspecies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) G. N. Das A. Payra CK Deepak K. Chandra Biología India Lepidoptera new records distribution Papilionoidea Namdapha National Park is situated in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh, roughly at the intersection of Palearctic and Indo-Malayan biogeographic realms. On account of its peculiar geographic position and diversity of vegetation and habitat types it encompasses, Namdapha is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Here we report the occurrence of eight rare and elusive species or subspecies of butterflies namely Capilapieridoides (Moore, 1878), Plastingia naga (de Nicéville, 1884), Salanoemia noemi (de Nicéville, 1885), Lotongus sarala (de Nicéville, 1889), Pieris naganum (Moore, 1884), Erites falcipennis Wood-Mason & de Nicéville, 1883, Coelites nothis adamsoni Moore, 1891, Bassarona durga splendens (Tytler, 1915) in Namdapha National Park. The subspecies C. nothis adamsoni and Pieris naganum naganum are being reported for the first time after a gap of more than a century and we provide first ever photographs of live individuals of these subspecies. E. falcipennis is being reported for the first time from the country after its description in 1883. These findings emphasize the significance of Namdapha National Park as a crucial protected area for butterflies in North east India. 2020 artículo científico 0300-5267 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=45563484003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/455/45563484003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/455/45563484003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/455/45563484003/45563484003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/455/45563484003/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=455 SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología application/pdf Sociedad Hispano-Luso-Americana de Lepidopterología SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología (España) Num.190 Vol.48
