India falls mainly under the Oriental Region and partly under the Palaearctic Region. It has one of the richest and diverse butterfly faunas with 1,641 species representing more or less 9.50% of the total butterfly species of the world (Varshney 2006). Approximately 10.58% of the butterfly diversity found in India has so far been documented from Central Indian landscape i.e. Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh (Chandra et al., 2007).
