A survey for the diversity of Rhopalocera at the Mizoram University (MZU) campus was carried out in selected areas with different habitat types. Pollard walks sampling method was adopted, and 16 randomly selected permanent line transects were established in three different sites. The length of the studied transacts was 500 m and the breadth was a region covered by visual observation on both sides from the point of observation along the length. Survey was carried out during September to November 2016 and from February to May 2017. A total of 3,618 individuals of 78 species of these insects belonging to six families were recorded. Maximum number of species recorded belonged to the family Nymphalidae while the family Riodinidae is represented by one species only. Three rare species namely, Parthenos sylvia (Cramer, 1775), Elymnias patna (Westwood, 1851), and Tanaecia lepidea (Butler, 1868) were also recorded. Another consequential aspect in this study is the record of Euploea midamus (Linnaeus, 1758), Castalius rosimon (Fabricius, 1775), Jamides allectus (Grose-Smith, 1894), Euploea mulciber (Cramer, [1777]), and Polytremis discreta (Elwes & Edwards, 1897), which are categorized into different conservation schedules of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972 with amendment made in 2022. Nymphalidae is the most diverse (H = 3.295) and dominant species (D = 22.727) while evenness is highest for the family Pieridae (E = 0.973) and diversity, dominance, and evenness (H = 1.818, D = 5.646, E = 0.826) is least for the family Lycaenidae. This study manifest that the modified habitats are also important repository for biodiversity which also need attention for conservation. Rhopalocera en un paisaje modificado: El campus universitario de Mizoram, Aizawl, Mizoram, India (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) Resumen Se realizó un estudio de la diversidad de Rhopalocera en el campus de la Universidad de Mizoram (MZU) en zonas seleccionadas con diferentes tipos de hábitat. Se adoptó el método de muestreo Pollard walks y se establecieron 16 transectos lineales permanentes seleccionados al azar en tres lugares diferentes. La longitud de los transectos estudiados era de 500 m y la anchura era una región cubierta por la observación visual a ambos lados desde el punto de observación a lo largo de la longitud. El estudio se llevó a cabo de septiembre a noviembre de 2016 y de febrero a mayo de 2017. Se registró un total de 3.618 individuos de 78 especies de estos insectos pertenecientes a seis familias. El mayor número de especies registradas pertenecía a la familia Nymphalidae, mientras que la familia Riodinidae está representada por una sola especie. También se registraron tres especies raras: Parthenos sylvia (Cramer, 1775), Elymnias patna (Westwood, 1851) y Tanaecia lepidea (Butler, 1868). Otro aspecto importante de este estudio es el registro de Euploea midamus (Linnaeus, 1758), Castalius rosimon (Fabricius, 1775), Jamides allectus (Grose-Smith, 1894), Euploea mulciber (Cramer, [1777]) y Polytremis discreta (Elwes & Edwards, 1897), que están clasificadas en diferentes listas de conservación de la Ley de la Fauna India (Protección) Acto 2022. Nymphalidae es la especie más diversa (H = 3,295) y dominante (D = 22,727), mientras que la uniformidad es SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología, 52 (206) junio 2024: 277-289 eISSN: 2340-4078 ISSN: 0300-5267 https://doi.org/10.57065/shilap.904 https://shilap.org mayor para la familia Pieridae (E = 0,973) y la diversidad, dominancia y uniformidad (H = 1,818, D = 5,646, E = 0,826) es menor para la familia Lycaenidae. Este estudio pone de manifiesto que los hábitats modificados son también importantes depósitos de biodiversidad a los que hay que prestar atención para su conservación.
