Resumo

El Parque Nacional de Namdapha está situado en el distrito de Changlang de Arunachal Pradesh, en la intersección de la zona de influencia biogeográfica Paleártica e Indo-Malaya. Por su puesto de esta peculiar posición abarca una vegetación y tipos de hábitats geográficos raros, Namdapha tiene una gran variedad de flora y fauna. Aquí informamos sobre la presencia ocho especies o subespecies infrecuentes y escurridizas en el Parque Nacional de Namdapha, concretamente Capila pieridoides (Moore, 1878), Plastingia naga (de Nicéville, [1884]), Salanoemia noemi (de Nicéville, 1885), Lotongus sarala (de Nicéville, 1885), Pieris naganum (Moore, 1884), Erites falcipennis Wood-Mason & de Nicéville, 1883, Coelites nothis adamsoni Moore, 1891, Bassarona durga splendens (Tytler, 1915). La subespecie C. nothis adamsoni y Pieris naganum naganum se citan por primera vez, después de un espacio de más de un siglo y suministramos fotografías por primera vez, de individuos vivos de estas subespecies. E. falcipennis se registra por primera vez para el país después de su descripción en 1883. Estas conclusiones enfatizan la trascendencia del Parque Nacional de Namdapha como un área crucial protegida para las mariposas en el nordeste de la India.
