A New Record of Elymnias caudata Butler, 1871 (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from Nagpur in Central India

Urban areas harbour diverse butterfly species in isolated and fragmented habitats such as parks, remnants of natural and semi-natural habitats, and other such green areas. An Indian endemic nymphalid butterfly species, _Elymnias caudata_ Butler, 1871 (tailed palmfly), has mostly been reported from the south-western parts of the southern region of India. According to previous records, this species is unknown from Nagpur, a city in Central India. Here, _Elymnias caudata_ is recorded from Nagpur for the first time, and it shows that the distribution range of this species is wider than previously known. This is the northernmost record of _Elymnias caudata_ in India.
