Abstract
Hemi parasitic Loranths viz. Dendrophthoe curvata (Blume) Miq., D. glabrescens (Blakely) Barlow, D. longensis L.J. Singh and Macrosolen andamanensis L.J. Singh has been recorded here for the first time as new host plants for larvae of Delias hyparete indica (Wallace, 1867) of Pieridae and Tajuria cippus cippus (Fabricius, 1798) of Lycaenidae butterfly in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Impact of herbivory of these butterflies on Loranths host plants is assessed along with its life history and conservation status of hosts is described in great detail. D. longensis and M. andamanensis are critically endangered and endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
