But now his hobby has led to the discovery of a new butterfly species, whose closest relatives are in southeastern China, close to Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2016, Wangchuk Lepcha has been photographing butterflies and sending their pictures to entomologists based at the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bengaluru to identify and upload them on to the \u2018<strong>Butterflies of India<\/strong>\u2019 website they maintain. In 2020, he captured and contributed the picture of a golden yellow butterfly with brown borders and spots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the observations submitted to this website are reviewed by an expert panel, including Krushnamegh Kunte of the NCBS, who counts Lepidoptera or butterflies as one of his main research interests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<strong>While reviewing Sonam\u2019s image, I realized that this was a species previously unknown in India and that, in fact, this may be a new species<\/strong>,\u201d says Dr Kunte.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His group requested Mr Wangchuk Lepcha to get permission from the Sikkim Forest Department to study the butterfly, and they then examined it more thoroughly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Also Read<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/northeastrising.in\/four-species-of-geckos-discovered-in-meghalaya\/\">Four species of geckos were discovered in Meghalaya<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #333399;\"><strong>\u2018Chocolate-bordered Flitter\u2019<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new species of butterfly, named the Chocolate-bordered Flitter, also carries the scientific name Zographetus dzonguensis, after Dzongu in Sikkim, the place where it was discovered. Its closest relatives are Zographetus Pangi in Guangdong, and Zographetus hainanensis in Hainan, both in southeastern China, close to Hong Kong, says Dr Kunte.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The physical appearance of the species differ slightly and the internal structures of the males also differ slightly.
