[edit] Unidentified butterflies

[edit] Number of species

Here we have 87 species listed most of them seem to be from Western Ghats / Peninsular India. The main page List of butterflies of India says 307 species. So we need to add lot of species yet.

I have added some from Haribal, 1994 - Sikkim book. But this is not a primary source like Evans. Unfortunately I do not have access to better sources and this one has numerous spelling errors and author attribution errors. This will need a rehaul by someone with access to literature.

I have added based on Savela, but adding them as I get more referenced inputs from elsewhere. Dr S Kallesh is giving his lists for cross-checking. AshLin 08:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
