The published monograph issue of the Journal of Threatened Taxa 10(4): 11495–11550 “Larval host plants of the butterflies of the Western Ghats, India” <DOI: http://doi.org/10.11609/jott.3104.10.4.11495-11550> had the following copying and formatting issues that introduced errors in the higher taxonomy of butterflies:

(i) p. 11518. The tribes Junoniini, Kallimini and Nymphalini were listed as part of subfamily Limenitidinae in the main text. These three tribes should be listed under subfamily Nymphalinae that was missed in the main text. The subfamily designation was correctly mentioned in Table 1.

(ii) p. 11525. The subfamily Pierinae was listed with two tribes (i) Colotini and (ii) Pierini under it in the main text. The arrangement of genera should be as follows:

1. Tribe Anthocharidini: includes Hebomoia.

2. Tribe Leptosiaini: includes Leptosia.

3. Tribe Nepheroniini: includes Pareronia.

4. Tribe Pierini: includes Appias, Belenois, Cepora, Delias, Pieris and Prioneris.

5. Tribe Teracolini: includes Colotis and Ixias.

(iii) The number of butterfly tribes mentioned under Capparaceae in Table 2 should be corrected to 7 instead of 4 and the total number of butterfly tribes at the end of Table 2 should be corrected to 49 instead of 46 reflecting the changes made above in tribal assignments under subfamily Pierinae. These taxonomic assignments have been reflected correctly on the Butterflies of India website where the butterfly and larval host plant lists are continually updated: http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/checklist-western-ghats, and http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/larval-hosts.
