Abstract

Tasek Bera Pahang is recognised as an important international wetlands area under The Ramsar Convention since 1994. Butterfly surveys were conducted during the 2014 Biodiversity Inventory Programme in two sampling occasions: 7th“13th May and 13th“19th August. The objective of this survey is to document the butterfly (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) species diversity for future management and conservation. A total of 289 butterflies were collected 125 species from five families were identified from both sampling occasions. Nymphalidae (48) is the most diverse family followed by Lycaenidae (23) Pieridae (15) Papilionidae (12) and Riodinidae (2). Among the 125 species recorded 57 species were recorded in May 39 species in August and 29 species in both sampling occasions. More species of The reported families Namphalidae covered 33 Papilionidae 10 and Pieridae 57 biodiversity of butterflies of Kohat.The reported families Namphalidae covered 33 Papilionidae 10 and Pieridae 57 biodiversity of butterflies of Kohat.Lycaenidae Pieridae and Papilionidae were recorded in May compared to August. Conversely Nymphalidae species recorded in August was nearly double the number of species recorded in May. The availability of host and nectar plants might be one of the factors that affect the butterfly diversity. The present list of butterfly is not exhaustive therefore prolonged surveys using various sampling methods are recommended to update the butterfly checklist of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site.
