Abstract
ABSTRACT. The present study was carried out in Bangus Valley, located in district Kupwara of Jammu & Kashmir, India. The field trips of the study area were undertaken in 2021 from March to November to explore the butterfly diversity. During the present investigation, 14 species were reported under 13 genera belonging to 3 families. Family Nymphalidae was found to be most dominant, representing six species, while Pieridae and Lycaenidae were representing four species each. Based on the number of genera, Family Nymphalidae was the most dominant representing six genera, followed by family Lycaenidae representing four genera and the Pieridae was least dominant representing three genera. This research will help us better understand the biodiversity of the Valley and may be helpful for establishing conservation plans for butterfly diversity. Abbreviations.

摘要本研究是在位于印度查谟和克什米尔库普瓦拉区的班古斯山谷进行的。于2021年3月至11月对研究区进行实地考察，探索蝴蝶多样性。本次调查共报告3科13属14种。以蛱蝶科为优势科，有6种，蝶蛹科和Lycaenidae科各有4种。从属数上看，蛱蝶科最占优势，有6属;Lycaenidae科次之，有4属;蝶蛹科最不占优势，有3属。这项研究将有助于我们更好地了解该峡谷的生物多样性，并可能有助于制定蝴蝶多样性保护计划。缩写词。J&K=查谟和克什米尔;M . a. s. l=海拔米;国家公园;联邦领土;Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah大学。
期刊介绍：
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
