| description |
An examination of Papilionoidea diversity was conducted in Tehsil Bani including newly established Bani Wildlife Sanctuary over five and a half years, spanning from March 2014 to September 2019. This study revealed a diverse species fauna within this data deficient Tehsil and wildlife sanctuary. A five- and half-year study revealed the occurrence of 219 species across six families that includes 26 species listed in the wildlife conservation status in India as per WLP, Act 1972 (Amendment 2022). These species were documented on 40 host plant families and more than 73 species. The majority of these were documented on host plant families, Fabaceae (25) and Poaceae (19 species) being the most prevalent, followed by Malvaceae (9), Rutaceae (8), Acanthaceae (7), Rhamnaceae (6), Brassicaceae (5), Cannabaceae (5), and Apocynaceae (5), and the additional 31 families hosting less than five species. However, information on host plants is available for 140 species (64%), but 79 species (36 %) were recorded without host plant information from Jammu and Kashmir. In addition to the host plant data, a complete bibliographic reference representing the previously published literature on the Papilionoidea fauna of Jammu and Kashmir has also been incorporated to enhance the comprehensiveness of the checklist.
