The present study extends the distributional range of two Curetis Hübner, [1819] species in the southern part of West Bengal state, India. This study reports Curetis saronis Moore, 1877 for the first time from the coastal mangrove forests of India. Curetis bulis (Westwood, 1852) is reported for the first time from the Chhotanagpur plateau region of India and is the first report from West Bengal outside the Himalayan ranges.
