using the pollard walk method in the tropical dry deciduous habitats
of Shettihalli Wildlife Sanctuary, Shivamogga District, Karnataka, from
February 2010 to January 2011. A total of 151 species of butterflies
belonging to 99 genera and five families was recorded. The family
Nymphalidae was the most dominant with the highest number
of species (52 species; 35%), followed by Lycaenidae (33 species;
22%), Hesperiidae (25 species; 17%), Pieridae (24 species; 16%), and
Papilionidae (15 species: 10%). The study also revealed 24 species
of butterflies which are protected under various schedules of Indian
Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and 13 species as being endemic to the
Western Ghats, peninsular India and Sri Lanka.
Sloth Bear Sanctuary, Hosept. The study revealed the occurrence of a total of 22 species of Odonates in 19 genera belonging to 5 families from the study area. Among them the order Anisoptera which includes dragonflies was predominated with 17 (76%) species, followed by the order Zygoptera which includes damselflies with 5 (24%) species. The family Libellulidae was found to be the most dominant by 13 species with high percentage composition i.e., 76%, followed by the family Coenagrionidae by 3 species with 40% of total odonates species recorded from the study area. The status based on the frequency of occurrence of shows that 8 (36%) were common, 5 (23%) were very common, 3 (14%) were occasional, 4 (18%) were rare and 2 (9%) were very rare. The study highlights the importance and also provides the baseline information on status and composition of Odonates at Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary, Ballari District of North Karnataka for research on their biology and the conservation.
