Check list of butterflies of the Sundarbans mangrove forest, Bangladesh
TLDR
The Crimson rose (Pachliopta hector Linnaeus, 1758) was the most abundant among all the recorded butterfly species in the Sundarbans.Abstract:
A total 37 species of butterflies under 7 families were recorded during June 2011 to March 2013 in the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh. Out of this total, 10 species were newly recorded. Among the 37 recorded butterflies, 8 species belong to Nymphalidae, 6 to Danaidae, 3 to Papilionidae, 5 to Pieridae, 8 to Lycaenidae, 5 to Satyridae, and 2 to Hesperidae family. Large numbers of butterflies were observed during summer season (April to June). The Crimson rose (Pachliopta hector Linnaeus, 1758) was the most abundant among all the recorded butterfly species in the Sundarbans. The present list of butterfly is not exhaustive and future exploration will be continued to update this checklist. Habitat destruction is the major threat to butterflies similar to other wild animals and some evidences of such activities were recorded during this study.read more

The Fauna of British India Including Ceylon and Burma Butterflies Vol. 1
TL;DR: The early investigations of the late Sir William Herdman on the pearl fisheries of Ceylon, begun in 1902, suggested infection with larval cestodes as a cause of pearl formation and thus directed attention to the cestode parasites of fishes found in Indian seas, which led to a series of papers by Dr. Southwell, who later turned his attention also to thecestodes of Indian land vertebrates.
