Dr. Krushnamegh Kunte reported on ButterflyIndia yahoo group today (8th November 2012):
I am happy to report another butterfly species that is new to India: Athyma whitei, which I call Blue-bordered Sergeant (it did not have an English name before):
ifoundbutterflies.org/144-athyma/athyma-whitei
Information about this species may be found under various tabs on the above species page. Images of the holotype of whitei, which is in the BMNH London, has also been included in the species page with permission from the BMNH.
Do let me know if you have photographs of similar Athyma from other parts of India. This species is not very well-known, so any new information will be useful.
