New Butterfly Species Zographetus mathewi Found in Kerala's Western Ghats | By Sainik Institute Lucknow
A team of Indian researchers has discovered a new butterfly species, Zographetus mathewi, in Kerala's Western Ghats. The skipper butterfly, belonging to the Hesperiidae family, was initially misidentified as Zographetus ogygia. However, close morphological inspection confirmed it as a new species. The discovery reflects the unexplored biodiversity richness of the Western Ghats.
The Western Ghats, a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot, continues to surprise scientists with new life forms. Zographetus mathewi, a newly discovered butterfly species, was found in the low-elevation forests of Kerala, adding to the genus Zographetus under the family Hesperiidae.

🔬 Discovered by:
Travancore Nature History Society
Institute of Tropical Research, Ecology and Conservation
Zoological Survey of India (ZSI)
At first, the butterfly resembled Zographetus ogygia, but detailed studies of wing pattern and genital structures confirmed its novelty. The discovery is documented in the journal Entomon.
📍 Habitat and Significance:
Region: Low-elevation forests of Kerala
Status: Endemic
Conservation Importance: Highlights the rich but underexplored biodiversity of the Western Ghats
