Presentation 

The Shiwalki Hills of Jammu and Kashmir UT have been investigated generally ineffectively taking everything into account. The rediscovery of new butterfly likewise should be perceived with regards to the absence of past reviews in the area. In Jammu, there are in any event 50 types of butterflies which have no new records.

There is an adequate hole of the greater part asylum in refreshing the conveyance records and consequently guaranteeing the rediscovery of this uncommon butterfly is advocated. These records are certainly significant with regards to refreshing the status and appropriation of the butterfly fauna in Jammu and Kashmir
