First record of Spotted Angle butterfly Caprona agama agama (Moore, 1858) (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea: Hesperiidae) from Bhoramdev Wildlife Sanctuary, Chhattisgarh, India

Abstract

Caprona agama agama (Moore, 1858), was never reported from central India, whilst it has been reported earlier from Himalayan foothills, North-east India, and South India. This sighting thus reports the first record of C. agama agama from Chhattisgarh (India) and will add up to the lepidopteran fauna of the state.
