Abstract:

The butterfly species in Jiulongshan Mountain National Nature Reserve were investigated from 1996 to 2013, and faunal analysis and similarity comparison were conducted. A total of 251 species belonging to 11 families 138 genera were recorded at the study site, including 6 species of state protected butterfly species and 13 newly recorded species in Zhejiang Province. The butterfly species found in the reserve account for 70% of the recorded species in Zhejiang Province, of which the monotypic genera are dominant, suggesting that this area is the key distribution of the butterflies in Zhejiang Province. The faunal analysis reveals that among the butterfly species in Jiulongshan Mountain, the Oriental species are the dominant ones, followed by the PalaearcticOriental species and then the Palaearctic species. Compared with the similarity of butterflies of other nature reserves of Zhejiang Province, there exists a certain mutual relationship among Tianmushan Mountain, Baishanzu Mountain and Jiulongshan Mountain, and Jiulongshan Mountain has a closer relationship with Baishanzu Mountain than Tianmushan Mountain.
