- Butterflies are a key focus for studying biogeographical patterns globally and regionally, with many studies concentrated in well-researched northern regions, leaving tropical areas like India underexplored.
- The study analyzed 1,379 butterfly species across India's 36 states to understand the relationship between species richness and factors such as geography, climate, and socioeconomics, finding that topographic diversity and the precipitation/temperature ratio are crucial for predicting species richness.
- Indian butterfly diversity primarily aligns with global biodiversity hotspots, with unique faunas in the Western Himalayas and peninsular savannah states reflecting the region's geographical and climatic uniqueness.
The present study discusses the systematic accounts of 66 species of the family Notodontidae recorded from the Indian state of Manipur. There are some records of the moths from other places including Sikkim (India) and Nepal in addition to Shirui Hill, Manipur. Here, we report, (1) three new species to science viz.
