Abstract
A sub-species of Pale jezebel, Delias sanaca
sanaca was recently recorded in the Oak forests of nainital, western
Himalaya and found feeding on Berberis chitria (shrub). There
is no site-specific record of D.s. sanaca from Kumaon region which makes
this reporting the first site specific record from Nainital, Kumaon region. We
recorded and photographed the sub species on total four different localities in
and around Nainital. The present findings of D.s. sanaca in
Nainital underscore the need for further studies on the ecology, habitat and
distribution of the species as the species is very less studied.
