Bueries of eastern Assam Singh
INTRODUCTION
The forests of eastern Assam in northeastern India
are conguous with forests in the northern part of
Myanmar. These semi-evergreen and evergreen forests
form part of the Indo-Burma global biodiversity hotspot
(New & Collins 1991), at its northern limit and harbour
a large number of species ‘rare’ and ‘endemic’ to this
region. Forests once covered most part of Assam but
today exist in small to large fragmented patches, loosely
joined together in four districts of eastern Assam namely
Tinsukhia, Dibrugarh, Sivasagar and part of Jorhat
districts, along the state boundary with Arunachal
Pradesh and Nagaland states (Fig. 1). Due to rapid
urbanizaon and increasing populaon pressure in the
region, however, these forests are today threatened due
to habitat degradaon.
At least half a dozen bueries have been described
from eastern Assam. As far back as in 1865, Hewitson
described the Spoed Royal, Tajuria maculata (Hewitson,
1865) (Lycaenidae). This was followed by descripon of
the White Dawny, Capila pieridoides (Moore, 1878)
(Hesperiidae) then the Pallid Forester Lethe satyava de
Nicéville, 1881 (Nymphalidae) from Sibsagar, the Silver
Spoed Lancer Plasngia naga (de Nicéville, [1884]
(Hesperiidae), and the Blue Quaker Pithecops fulgens
Doherty, 1889 (Lycaenidae) and Yellow-vein Lancer
Pyroneura margherita (Doherty, 1889) (Hesperiidae)
from Margherita area by Doherty. Later, Norman
(1953 & 1956) recorded some ‘very rare’ (as per Evans
1932) species from Sibasagar District in upper Assam,
i.e., Yellow-vein Lancer P. margherita, Veined Palmer
Hidari bhawani de Nicéville, [1889], Broad-branded
Brilliant Simiskina phalena harter (Doherty, 1889), Bi-
coloured Hedgeblue Udara selma cerima (Corbet, 1937),
Wavy Maplet Chersonesia rahrioides Moore, [1899],
Conjoined Lascar Pantoporia assamica (Moore, 1881),
Brown Forest Bob Scobura woolle (Riley, 1923), Baby
Swi Polytremis minuta (Evans, 1926), Maculate Lancer
Salanoemia sala (Hewitson, [1866]), Vinous Oakblue
Arhopala athada aphade Nicéville, 1895, and Isma sp.
Distant, 1886.
The buery diversity of these forests remained
poorly documented unl recently Karthikeyan &
Venkatesh (2011) recorded a ‘very rare’ species generally
found in Southeast Asia in Assam, the Snowy Angle Darpa
pteria (Hewitson, 1868) between 24–29 April 2011 from
Jeypore Reserve Forest, Assam. Gogoi (2013a) listed 292
species from a Jeypore-Dehing forest area in eastern
Assam. This was followed by Singh et al. (2015) list of
211 species from Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary (GWS) (a
remnant semi evergreen forest patch of 21km2 exisng
in Jorhat District of upper Assam, adjoining Sivasagar
District close to Nagaland border) and also a small
pictorial booklet by Neog (2015) from the GWS covering
200 species recorded by him. Singh (2015) also reported
separately a ‘very rare’ species, the Veined Palmer Hidari
bhawani from Sotai in Jorhat District of Upper Assam.
Besides these there are no other comprehensive records
available on bueries of eastern Assam. Most of the
recent focus has remained around Namdapha Tiger
Reserve, which lies 60km east of Tinsukhia District in
Arunachal Pradesh State or around Kaziranga Naonal
Park and adjoining the Karbi Anglong Hills, lying west of
Jorhat District (Gogoi 2013b, 2015).
STUDY AREA
The study area included eight reserve forest areas
and along the road stretch inside the Dehing-Patkai
Wildlife Sanctuary, covering three districts (Tinsukhia,
Dibrugarh & Sibasagar) all in the eastern part of upper
Assam (Figs. 1,2; Table 1; Images 1–6) situated on the
border with Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland states,
between 26.96805–27.53889 N & 95.29500–95.96333 E.
These reserve forests and Wildlife Sanctuary form small
to large tracts of semi-evergreen and evergreen forests
comprising the dominant tree Dipterocarpus retusus
Blume (Hollong) along with Messua ferrea L. (Indian
Rose Chestnut), Terminalia myriocarpa Van Heurck
& Mull. Arg. (Hollock), etc., intermixed with bamboo
brakes comprising Dendrocalamus hamiltonii Gamble;
Pseudostachyum polymorphum Munro & Raan Canes
(Calamus spp.) in ravines and river banks. Numerous
fresh water perennial streams and rivers (Burhi-Dehing,
Dilli, Tipong, Tirap, and Namsik rivers) transgress these
forest tracts in eastern Assam covering the study area,
while the main river Brahmaputra forms the northern
boundary of these forest ranges (Table 1; Fig. 1).
MATERIAL & METHODS
Random surveys for sampling bueries were carried
out from 18 November 2014 to 09 September 2016
(Table 1). Pollard walk methodology (Pollard 1982) was
used for sampling bueries. This was done by walking
for one hour (approximately 1km) on each transect
inside the forest on trails; 2–11 transects/trails were
covered at each site. A total of 39 hours (approximately)
of sampling was done covering 19 days spread over a

ve month period during most of the seasons of the
year (February: mainly winter; March: spring; June:
pre-monsoon/dry summer; 31 August–September:
monsoon; November: winter). The altudinal range
covered varied from 85m (lowest) in Padumoni RF near
the Bhramaputra River basin to as high as 471m (highest)
in Tipong RF-Lekhapani RF tract, bordering Changlang
District of Arunachal Pradesh.
The relave abundances of all the species sampled
were pooled and ranked from lowest to the highest.
All taxa were then divided into four equal classes or
categories with an equal number of species. Based on
the quarle divisions of their relave abundances, all
these taxa were ranked as Uncommon (Q1) = 1 individual
recorded (minimum abundance); Fairly Common (Q2) =
2–3; Common (Q3) = 4–9; and Very Common (Q4) = 10–
96 (maximum number of a species recorded); Median
value = 3 (Table 2).

Bueries of eastern Assam Singh
Idencaon of bueries was carried out on the
spot during sampling or from photographs taken in the
eld as the majority of the species was photographed
(Images 7–43 [12-42 are endemic to northeastern
India]). For idencaon the eld guides and papers
(Evans 1932; Wynter-Blyth 1957; Smith 2006; Kehimkar
2008; Singh 2011; Gogoi 2012, 2013a; Sondhi et al.
2013; Sondhi & Kunte 2014; Smetacek 2015) and web
resources (hp://www.ifoundbueries.org/; hp://
uers.org/), were used. Nomenclature was followed
using the website hp://www.nc.funet./pub/sci/bio/

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A total of 237 species were recorded during the
present survey. Thirty-three species amongst these (Table
2) have been listed as protected under various schedules
of the Indian Wildlife (Protecon) Act 1972 (Anonymous
1997) (2 under Schedule I, 29 under Schedule II, and 2
under Schedule IV) and are protected by law. Seventy-
seven species recorded have distribuon restricted to
the eastern Himalaya and northeastern India (Table
2). Only Blue Quaker Pithecops fulgens, Yellow-vein
Lancer Pyroneura margherita, Wavy Maplet Chersonesia
rahroides and Tytler’s Dull Oakblue Arhopala ace arata
Tytler, 1915 which were recorded a long me back by
Doherty (1889) & Norman (1953 & 1956) from eastern
Assam, were also recorded during the present survey.
As per Evans (1932), species that are noteworthy
from the point of view of conservaon amongst these
(Table 2) are: (i) ‘Very rare’ and ‘endemic’ species:
Yellow-vein Lancer Pyroneura margherita; (ii) ‘Rare’
and ‘endemic’ species: Yellow Fringed Swi Caltoris
aurociliata (Elwes & Edwards, 1897), Wavy Maplet
Chersonesia rahroides, Silver Royal Ancema blanka

rare and protected species form priority species for
conservaon in this region. The existence of some
‘endemic’ and ‘very rare’ species (Evans, 1932) in
large numbers in these forests, i.e., Yellow-vein Lancer

Oakblue Arhopala arvina ardea (Evans, 1932), Chocolate
Bushblue Arhopala ariel (Doherty, 1891), and Broad-
branded Brilliant Simiskina phalena harter, is a clear
indicator of the rich and unique diversity exisng in
this global biodiversity hotspot, which now needs to be
conserved at all costs. Small reserve forests areas that
are now isolated patches such as Bherjan, Bhorjan and
Podumoni RF’s, which lie in the proximity of Tinsukhia
Town, can be promoted to be taken up as sites for
‘buery inclusive ecotourism’ acvies. This can
be done by developing nature trails, pung up maps,
signages and display boards, preparing and providing
pamphlets on bueries and other biodiversity found in
the area with photographs along with their seasonality
for tourists, training nature guides of these areas
for generang local livelihood opportunies. Lastly,
promong ecotourism through electronic media and
encouraging conservaon eorts for these remnant
forest patches through research and educaonal
programmes and adopng threatened species of ora
and fauna will help in the long term conservaon of
these forests.
