View through CrossRef
This study was conducted to explore the Pierid butterfly fauna of Swat over a one-year period from March 2021 to April 2022. A total of 100 specimens of butterflies were collected from different localities in Swat. Among the 100 specimens collected, 15 species spanning 10 genera categorized them into two subfamilies: Pierinae and Coliadinae. Within the identified species, nine belonged to the subfamily Pierinae, while the subfamily Coliadinae comprised six species. One species, Eurema brigitta (Stoll, 1780), is reported for the first time from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while five species—Pieris rapae (Linnaeus 1758), Ixias pyrene (Linnaeus 1764), Euchloe daphalis (Moore 1865), Aporia nabellicahesba (Boisduval, 1836), Colias eratae (Esper 1805) are reported for the first time from Swat.
