Abstract

The information given in this research paper is based on 81 species representing 70 genera of moths collected during the survey conducted from October 05-08, 2016 by the first two authors. As many as 20 species are reported for the first time from Jharkhand as well as from Gangetic plains: Bastilla joviana (Stoll), Erebus ephesperis (Hubner), Creatonotos interrupta (Walker), Leucania venalba Moore, Yepcalphis dilectissima (Walker), Ericeia inangulata (Guenee), Chrysodeixis acuta (Walker), Agrotis segetum D&S, Entomogramma fautrix Guenee, Xanthodes albago (Fab.), Miaromima naessigi (Kobes), Scopelodes albipalpis Hering, Pseudoteleclita sp., Armiana longipennis (Moore), Tyspanodes linealis (Moore), Hyperythra lutea (Stoll), Cleora sp., Thalassodes veraria Guenee, Zeuzera coffeae Nietner, Bamra sp.,. The area was surveyed for the first time to study the diversity of moths.

Abstract

Genus Eudocima Billberg is represented by 11 species from India. Four species viz., Eudocima homaena (Hübner), Eudocima hypermnestra (Stoll), Eudocima materna (Linnaeus) and Eudocima phalonia (Linneaus) are collected and studied for the first time from Bihar and Jharkhand. External genitalia of all the studied species has been illustrated and studied. A checklist of Indian species of Eudocima is provided.

Abstract

An updated checklist of 164 valid species (including subspecies) under 55 genera of superfamily Daepanoidea, family Drepanidae representing four subfamilies: Cyclidiinae, Drepaninae, Oretinae and Thyatirinae has been compiled. The detailed information about distribution within India as well as in other countries, first reference, synonymy has been provided for each species. Clarifications regarding distributional limits within India are also given.

Keywords

Drepanidae, Cyclidiinae, Drepaninae, Oretinae and Thyatirinae.
