Abstract:
In this present research work, the morphological characters, genitalic attributes of G. mahaguru Gistel, G. rhamni (Linnaeus) and Dercas lycorias (Doubleday) including its male form decipiens have been studied, illustrated and compared. Dixey (1894) [4] discussed the close relationship of Dercas Doubleday with Gonepteryx Leach on the basis of their phylogeny, wing markings and geographical distribution. Klots (1931) studied and illustrated their genitalic structures.
