The butterflies of the genus Ypthima Hübner are small, brown insects with weak bouncing flight. The concerned genus is represented by about 100 species distributed in the Palaeotropical and East Palaearctic regions. Identification of certain species and population complexes is, in fact, an intricate problem. Consultation of relavent literature (vide Marshall & de Niveville, 1883; Moore, 1890, 1892; Elwes&Edwards, 1893; Evans, 1932; Talbot, 1947; Shirozu&Shima, 1979) has critically been made.Full Text

The butterfly fauna of India has been well studied in the past, with the works of Marshall & de Niceville (1883), de Niceville (1886, 1890), Moore (1890-1905), Swinhoe (1893, 1896, 1905-1913), Bingham (1905, 1907), Evans (1932), Talbot (1939, 1947), Wynter-Blyth (1957), and Kehimkar (2008) being some of the significant publications. To date, 1641 species of butterflies have been reported from India (Varshney, 2010). Recently, much information on butterflies of different regions, states and protected areas of India has been published (e.g. Arora et al. 2009 (Himachal Pradesh); Anonymous (website of Punjab ENVIS Centre, Punjab); Kumar 2008 (Uttarakhand); Mondal et al., 1997 (Delhi); Chandra et al. 2007 (Madhya Pradesh and Chattishgarh); Haribal 1992, Maulik 2003 (Sikkim); Mondal & Maulik 1998 (Meghalaya); Kunte et al., 2012 (Garo Hills, Meghalaya); Mondal & Maulik 2004 (Manipur); Mondal & Maulik 1997 (West Bengal); Mondal & Maulik 1991 (Orissa); Gupta & Shukla 1987 (Madhya Pradesh); Maulik, 2007 (Andhra Pradesh); Kunte 2000 (Peninsular India); Sharma 2012 (Maharashtra); Ambrose & Raj 2005 (Kalakad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu); Aneesh et al., 2013 (Kerala); Palot et al., 2012 (Kerala). However, butterfly diversity at the regional level remains data deficient in most of the regions and states of India.Full Text

The Superfamily Acridoidea includes shorthorned grasshoppers and is one of the most sought after super-families of the order Orthoptera. They constitute an interesting and agriculturally important group of insects. They are moderate in size, but range from less than 10 mm to 65 mm. The form of body shape, head and thorax are diverse; antennae are filiform but sometimes ensiform; tarsi three segmented; hind femora long, slender and thick towards base and adapted for leaping; wings are either fully developed or reduced or absent; forewings in the form of leathery tegmina; hind wings fan like; male external genitalia complex, symmetrical and concealed, when not in use, by the enlarged ninth abdominal sternum (Subgenital plate).Full Text

Libytheidae is a small family of butterflies characterized by enormous prolongation of the palpi giving an appearance of a beak in front of head and hence commonly known as the “Beaks”. The members of this family have small and angular fore wings, and reduced fore legs in males but fully developed in females.Full Text

Dudhwa National Park is home to one of the finest Sa! forests in India, some of these trees are more than 150 years old and over 70 feet tall. Dudhwa's birds, in particular, are a delight for any avid bird watcher. The marshlands are especially inviting for about 400 species of resident and migratory birds including the Swamp Partridge, Great Salty Woodpecker, Bengal Florican, plenty of painted storks, sarus cranes, owls, barbels, woodpeckers, minuets and many more. Much of the park's avian fauna is aquatic in nature, and is found around Dudhwa's lakes-especially Banke Tal.Full Text
