Classification follows van Nieukerken et al. (2011). Validations, information on synonymies, type localities and type species of genera are gathered from the primary source, on-line database of LepIndex (Beccaloni et al. 2003) and from the references mentioned in the introduction. Information on the host plant data is mainly included from Robinson et al. (2001). Graphs are designed by using Father's [Data Visualization] - Statistics for everyone and map is designed using ArcGIS. Global records are added to the distribution of those species that are recorded from outside India. In the literature, some generalised distribution is given, like India, South India, etc., which sometimes create confusion in the species assignment to different biogeographic zones, therefore the below table is provided to make it clear what we followed in the present catalogue.
