Resumen

Se realizó un estudio de la diversidad de Rhopalocera en el campus de la Universidad de Mizoram (MZU) en zonas seleccionadas con diferentes tipos de hábitat. Se adoptó el método de muestreo Pollard walks y se establecieron 16 transectos lineales permanentes seleccionados al azar en tres lugares diferentes. La longitud de los transectos estudiados era de 500 m y la anchura era una región cubierta por la observación visual a ambos lados desde el punto de observación a lo largo de la longitud. El estudio se llevó a cabo de septiembre a noviembre de 2016 y de febrero a mayo de 2017. Se registró un total de 3.618 individuos de 78 especies de estos insectos pertenecientes a seis familias. El mayor número de especies registradas pertenecía a la familia Nymphalidae, mientras que la familia Riodinidae está representada por una sola especie. También se registraron tres especies raras: Parthenos sylvia (Cramer, 1775), Elymnias patna (Westwood, 1851) y Tanaecia lepidea (Butler, 1868). Otro aspecto importante de este estudio es el registro de Euploea midamus (Linnaeus, 1758), Castalius rosimon (Fabricius, 1775), Jamides allectus (Grose-Smith, 1894), Euploea mulciber (Cramer, [1777]) y Polytremis discreta (Elwes & Edwards, 1897), que están clasificadas en diferentes listas de conservación de la Ley de la Fauna India (Protección) Acto 2022. Nymphalidae es la especie más diversa (H = 3,295) y dominante (D = 22,727), mientras que la uniformidad es mayor para la familia Pieridae (E = 0,973) y la diversidad, dominancia y uniformidad (H = 1,818, D = 5,646, E = 0,826) es menor para la familia Lycaenidae. Este estudio pone de manifiesto que los hábitats modificados son también importantes depósitos de biodiversidad a los que hay que prestar atención para su conservación.
