Some reports of butterflies in certain areas of northeastern India have also been published by various workers (Mason & Niceville, 1886; Doherty, 1889; Talbot, 1939, 1947; Wynter-Blyth, 1957; Saharia, 1967; Varshney & Chanda, 1971). Recent surveys conducted in Kamrup district, Manas National Park, Nameri National Park and Dibru-Saikhowa Biosphere Reserve depict the status of a few butterfly species (Anon., 2002). However, the attempts still remain very fragmented.
