Resumen

Un estudio exhaustivo de la fauna de Papilionoidea en la reserva de tigres de Buxa y sus alrededores, en el distrito de Alipurduar (Bengala Occidental), reveló un total de 138 especies de 6 familias y 55 géneros. Nymphalidae (43%) dominaba el número de especies registradas, seguida de Lycaenidae (23%), Hesperiidae (11%), Pieridae (10%), Papilionidae (9%) y Riodinidae (4%). En particular, 23 especies están protegidas por la Ley de Protección de la Fauna y Flora Silvestres (Enmienda de 2022), 22 de las cuales figuran en la Lista II y una en la Lista I. La abundancia de especies de Papilionoidea varió entre los diferentes hábitats. El mayor número de especies se registró en HF (Hill Forest)-N22 (noviembre, 2022) (81 especies), seguido de RT (River trail)-N22 (68 especies), y RT-A22 (abril, 2022) (50 especies) y HFA22 (47 especies). Este estudio contribuye significativamente a nuestra comprensión de la diversidad en la región e informa los esfuerzos de conservación dirigidos a proteger estos polinizadores vitales e indicadores del ecosistema.
