Thus, this specimen was from Manipur and the Pakke records, in addition to representing only the second Indian locality, have extended the known range of the species further northwest into western Arunachal Pradesh(Sondhi & Kunte 2016). from the Bhalukpong Ghat-Dinai trail, Khari, Sukhanala and Tippi at Pakke in the pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.Common.…”

“…Sochung, Pakke-Kesang. While this species was recorded outside the duration of the survey period covered in this manuscript, this sighting constitutes a significant record and a species re-discovery after a hundred years (Sondhi et al 2016), so we felt it pertinent to include this species in this manuscript during the production stage.

The butterflies of the Kameng Protected Area Complex in western Arunachal Pradesh, India, covering the protected areas of Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Pakke Tiger Reserve and Sessa Orchid Wildlife Sanctuary were surveyed over a 5-year period (2009–2014). A total of 421 butterfly species were recorded during the survey, including two species new to India (Gonepteryx amintha thibetana and Bhutanitis ludlowi) and several species rediscoveries and range extensions in the Eastern Himalaya, most notably Arhopala belphoebe, Sovia separata magna, Aulocera saraswati vishnu, Calinaga aborica, Callerebia annada annada, and Callerebria scanda opima. Here we provide an annotated checklist of butterflies of the Kameng Protected Area Complex, including historical records, distributions, abundance, habitats and other notes on these 421 species. An additional 42 species recorded in older literature or by other authors in recent times are also listed, taking the total number of species recorded in the landscape to 463.

“…This is quite reflective of the persistent confusion about the taxonomic status and number of species within Calinaga. Historically, various authors have recognized different numbers and sets of valid Calinaga species, from one (Ehrlich 1958b) or three (Fruhstorfer 1914) to seven (D'Abrera 1985, 1993, Beccaloni et al 2003, ten (Savela 2015) or eleven species (Sondhi et al 2016). Many of the samples we procured as C. buddha proved to be misidentifications of either C. davidis or C. sudassana.…”

“…The main problem of the traditional taxonomic species-level framework for Calinaga, from Fruhstofer (in Seitz 1927) to Ehrlich (1958b), has been the practice of placing the vast majority of available names as subspecies or synonymous under C. buddha. Presently, taxonomists consider the genus composed from 7 to 11 species (D'Abrera 1985, 1993, Beccaloni et al 2003, Lang 2012, Savela 2015, Sondhi et al 2016. A molecular study to shed light on systematic and evolutionary history of these species has never been attempted.…”

Calinaga (Moore 1857) is a rare and enigmatic Asian butterfly genus whose phylogenetic placement within Nymphalidae has only recently been established. The evolutionary history of Calinaga species however remains unknown. Here we explore the phylogeography of Calinaga using 1310 bp of sequence data from two molecular (mtDNA barcode and ribosomal protein S5 nuclear gene) and two morphological traits (genitalia and wing pattern). Within the proposed phylogenetic framework, we estimate the ages of divergence within the genus and reconstruct their historical biogeography. We found strong support for monophyly of Calinaga and support for the most recent accepted species in the genus. Our results indicate that the common ancestor of Calinaga first split in the Eocene (~43 million years ago) in southern China, probably as a consequence of geological and environmental impacts of the collision of the Indian and Asian subcontinents. In the Oligocene/Miocene, the extrusion of Indochina from the continent caused further dramatic orogenetic changes that promoted isolation and speciation events within the genus while Pleistocene climatic changes also influenced the distribution and further speciation. A dispersal-vicariance analysis suggests that vicariance events have played a far more important role than dispersal in the distribution of extant species.

We analyzed COI barcode sequences from 138 over-a-century old specimens of Calinaga including 36 name-bearing type specimens stored at the Natural History Museum London. These new data, combined with previously available RPS5 sequences, divide the Calinaga samples into four well-supported mitochondrial lineages that together with a novel wing-pattern analysis, support the recognition of six species (lhatso, buddha, brahma, aborica, formosana and davidis), with all other names subsumed either as subspecies or synonyms. One new taxon is described, Calinaga aborica naima Vane-Wright, ssp. n.
