Three new butterfly records for peninsular India: Dusky Yellow-breasted Flat <i>Gerosis phisara</i> (Moore) (Hesperiidae), Common Gem <i>Poritia hewitsoni</i> Moore (Lycaenidae) and Great Nawab <i>Polyura eudamippus</i> (Doubleday) (Nymphalidae) from Similipal Hills, Odisha, India

Three species of butterflies hitherto known only from the Himalayan region and northeastern India, viz. Dusky Yellow-breasted Flat Gerosis phisara (Moore), Common Gem Poritia hewitsoni Moore and Great Nawab Polyura eudamippus (Doubleday) were recorded from Similipal Hills, Odisha, thus constituting...
