Taxonomic Study on Geometrid Moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) Diversity in Chirpine Forest of Himachal Pradesh
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Advanced Basic Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The present biodiversity study was conducted in Himachal Pradesh, India to find the status of geometrid moth diversity in Chirpine forest. During the study, about 212 specimens of moths were collected with the help of light trap from different selected sites of Chirpine forest. All the specimens were sorted into thirty six species of geometrid belonged to 27 genera and three subfamilies. The subfamily Ennominae was represented with maximum 67% species followed by the subfamily Geometrinae (22%) and the subfamily Sterrhinae (11%). The population of the Geometrinae subfamily was moderate, which may be due to the lack of specific host availability and desired habitat preference. This is the first record of geometrid moth diversity study in the Chirpine forest of Himachal Pradesh.
