LepIndexing done

The list of Lycaenids from Identification of Indian Butterflies by Brig W.H. Evans has been Lepindexed. The Lepindexing is not complete due to problems in taxonomy in NMNH's LepIndex. However, it is being kept as per LepIndex at the present for the sake of consistency.

List resorted after Lepindexing and dumped on main article page

The present list after resorting is being placed on the Article page. Old list is being transferred to one of my user pages here. AshLin 13:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re Stubs

Hi all, after Lepindexing, I'm making stubs. Since we want a high std and include relevant info, expect progress to be slow. The type of stub I want to make can be seen in Poritia phalena. So I am bolding the common names of those butterflies which have a decent quality stub. Will take few months for me to do this, I am afraid. AshLin 10:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mottle

Logania distanti (Semper, 1889) seems to accepted name of Dark mottle or popularly known as Mottle which is mentioned as Logania massalia (Doherty, 1891). Vijay Barve 10:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I checked LepIndex which does not have a status for either. Markku Savela confirms your name. I have moved the article. Thanks for the check and correction, Vijay. Shyamal 10:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
