LARVAL HOST PLANTS AND OTHER HOSTS OF INDIAN BUTTERFLIES

This annotated and referenced checklist of the larval host plants and other hosts of Indian butterflies is based on Nitin et al. (2018. Journal of Threatened Taxa, 10:11495–11550; and uploaded on this website on 2018/04/17). It is continually updated as new records are contributed, or missing hosts are pointed out to us. It is arranged alphabetically by family, subfamily, tribe and genus names for easy reference. The authors of Nitin et al. are currently listed as authors. Contributors who contribute individual records will be given as a reference for those records, and people who contribute in a major way, such as by contributing new records on an order of dozens of records or other kinds of large dataset, will be added as authors of the entire page at the bottom of this page. So please contribute to this growing and continually updated, very valuable database.

    Subfamily Hesperiinae
    Tribe Aeromachini
  10. Aeromachus dubius dubius Elwes & Edwards, 1897 — Sahyadri Dingy Scrub Hopper: Poaceae (Wynter-Blyth 1957). Cyrtococcum trigonum (Kalesh & Prakash 2015) (Poaceae).
  11. Aeromachus pygmaeus (Fabricius, 1775) — Pygmy Scrub Hopper: Poaceae (Davidson et al. 1897; Wynter-Blyth 1957). Cyrtococcum trigonum (Kalesh & Prakash 2015), Stenotaphrum secundatum (Kalesh & Prakash 2015), Polytrias indica (V.C. Balakrishnan pers. obs. 2017) (Poaceae).

  13. Arnetta mercara Evans, 1932 — Kodagu Forest Hopper: Imperata cylindrica (Kalesh S. & S.K. Prakash pers. obs. 2017).
  14. Arnetta vindhiana (Moore, [1884]) — Vindhyan Bob: Poaceae (P. Churi pers. obs. 2017). Another subspecies, Arnetta vindhiana nilgiriana Moore, 1883, is occasionally included under this species, but it represents infrasubspecific variation.
  15. Baracus hampsoni Elwes & Edwards, 1897 — Spotted Hedge Hopper: Poaceae (Davidson et al. 1897; Bell 1926; Robinson et al. 2010), Imperata cylindrica (Kalesh & Prakash 2015). This is often treated as a subspecies of Baracus vittatus (C. Felder, 1862). Another subspecies name, Baracus vittatus gotha Evans, 1949, has appeared in literature. Nothing is known about this taxon beyond the two females (one of them the type) collected in the Anamalais, on which the original description was based (Evans 1949). This name most likely represents a hybrid between hampsoni and subditus, or an aberration of subditus.
  16. Baracus subditus Moore, [1884] — Striped Hedge Hopper: Poaceae (Davidson et al. 1897; Bell 1926; Robinson et al. 2010), Imperata cylindrica (Kalesh & Prakash 2015). This is often treated as a subspecies of Baracus vittatus (C. Felder, 1862).

Ehretia bellirica (Robinson et al. 2010) (Boraginaceae).
  18. Erionota torus Evans, 1941 — Rounded Palm-redeye: Cocos nucifera (Raju et al. 2018) (Arecaceae). Musa x paradisiaca (K. Kunte pers. obs. 2017) (Musaceae).
  19. Gangara thyrsis thyrsis (Fabricius, 1775) — Oriental Giant Redeye: Arecaceae (Robinson et al. 2010).

Licuala chinensis (Kunte 2006) (Arecaceae). Cyperus alternifolius (Cyperaceae) has also been reported from Bengaluru by L. Shyamal, which constitutes a new plant family record for this species (BOI-ag954 to BOI-ag958) (Saji et al. 2018). It remains to be seen whether Cyperus is used more widely by this species, and a second confirmation of this larval host family will be useful. Apart from these plants, Saccharum officinarum (Poaceae) is recorded (Robinson et al. 2010) but this is doubtful and needs confirmation. Zingiber officinale (Zingiberaceae) has also been recorded once (Kalesh & Prakash 2007), but the larva feeding on it did not pupate so we do not know whether this is a suitable larval host plant.
  20. Halpe hindu Evans, 1937 — Sahyadri Banded Ace: Bambusa (Wynter-Blyth 1957; Kunte 2000), Ochlandra scriptoria (Kalesh & Prakash 2015) (Poaceae).

  23. Hyarotis coorga Evans, 1949 — Kodagu Brush Flitter: Unknown. This is often treated as a subspecies of Hyarotis microstictum (Wood-Mason & de Nicéville, [1887]).

We treat them as infrasubspecific variation as there is no geographic separation between these presumed subspecies. We treat the NE Indian and N. Myanmarese taxon as a distinct species, Taractrocera atropunctata (Watson, 1896) based on differences in the male genitalia.
  61. Taractrocera maevius (Fabricius, 1793) — Grey-veined Grass Dart: Poaceae (K. Kunte pers. obs. 2017). The subspecies name, Taractrocera maeviussagara (Moore, [1866]), represents infrasubspecific variation.
