Talk:List of butterflies of India (Nymphalidae)

message: Hi, I created a page for Calinaginae, I thought that this subfamily is so small that all species can be treated in one page. May be a good idea to link all the references in this page (List of Butterflies of India) for Calinaga species to that page(Calinaginae)?→Carlosp420 23:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Guys, 
* Firstly, thanks for the interest. We (Shyamal, VirenVaz & AshLin) like wikiaurelians messing around with our stuff.
* Secondly, thanks for the lovely Clipper illustration :). Funny to think of it being from 'abroad' while we're hunting for it in India, lol, ;).
* Seriously, this list is nowhere near complete, authentic or reliable. Just don't do anything about it or with it just yet. Shyamal (the stub-starter) took a 'quick and dirty' approach. He dumped an Asian list and asked people to extricate extra-limital species from it. IMHO that this has'nt quite worked out as we had hoped. 
* We've now got an older but more reliable list. In about a week's/month's(?) or two, I hope, I'll be dumping an Evans List (Identification of Indian Butterflies, Brig WH Evans, 2/ed (1932), Bombay Natural History Society.) It still works, only the taxonomic review and corrections will be one helluva job. This list is presently totally unreliable (Sorry, Shyamal).
* Our Papilionidae, Riodinidae and Pieridae lists are reasonably correct and satisfactory to work on or with. You can mess around there. Lycs, Nymphs lists are NOT! Hesperiidae list, I have'nt a clue, will need a closer look to judge that.
* In the meantime, please have a 'dekho' at some of our recent output :-
**Common Mormon.Papilio polytes
**Red Pierrot Talicada nyseus.
**Spot Swordtail Graphium nomius.
* By the way as self-appointed steward of Indian Papilionidae, I inspect the ranks of my troops (Indian pap wikipages). So the stubs at top reminds me that this 'soldier' is slovenly and needs to be tackled. So will revert the Papilio (Princeps) krishna butterfly-stub placement.
* We're spear-heading and completing Paps first while fighting a reaguard action with the other families too. Paps is our proof of concept to the Indian community that an online free/libre/open source field guide to Indian butterflies is relevant, useful, worthwhile and practical. So help us out first with Paps, guys.
Looking forward to continued interaction on the Indian Butterfly Wikibase.

Please Lepindex this list (basically Euploea). From here till end of text. AshLin 13:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Only from here to the end of text. Thats all!!! Very small amount of work you've given me.
*grin* will get down to it after small families in Pieirids. --Viren 04:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

So one entire genus vanishes! AshLin 09:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The subfamilies have been organised as per the latest molecular research of the Nymphalidae Systematics Group. On ground it meant creating a new subfamily - Pseudergolinae. AshLin 06:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
