Scientists have recently recorded the presence of the rare nocturnal moth species Antitrisuloides catocalina in the Choolannur Peafowl Sanctuary located in Palakkad district, Kerala.
Antitrisuloides catocalina is a nocturnal moth belonging to the genus Antitrisuloides.
It is a member of the Noctuidae family, which includes two known species worldwide.
The specimen discovered in Kerala was previously known only from North-East India.
Detailed analysis identified the Kerala specimen as a subspecies called Antitrisuloides catocalina cyclica.
This discovery expands the known geographical range of the species to the biodiversity-rich Western Ghats.
Also known as Mayiladumpara, the sanctuary is dedicated to the conservation and breeding of the majestic peacock.
Located in Palakkad district, Kerala, it is the only peacock sanctuary in Kerala and the first of its kind in India.
Established in 1996, the sanctuary honors the memory of Induchoodan, a legendary Indian ornithologist and writer from the nearby village of Kavassery.
The sanctuary is nestled in lush green landscapes and serves as a vital habitat for peafowl and other wildlife.
