However, very limited studies are conducted in Karnali Province of Western Nepal and most of them are limited within the protected areas. And the Salyan district is one of areas where no any documented information on butterflies is available. So, this study is conducted in the Kumakh Rural Municipality; northern part of Salyan district, Karnali Province to document checklist of butterflies species present there. As this research conducted during the global pandemic and nationwide lockdown periods due to COVID-19, home point survey methods was adopted. Altogether 45 species of butterflies recorded belong to five families were recorded from the study area. Family Nymphalidae (69%) was dominant in the study area followed by families Lycaenidae (11%), Pieridae (9%), Hesperlidae (7%), and Papilionidae (4%) respectively. Further systematic research including diversity monitoring is recommended to prepare the checklist of butterflies along...
