Movie File: Expedition to W. Myanmar
▲Location of Chin state, western Myanmar （after Wikipedia）
Mr. S who is one of the leading figures in our society provided us very precious video. He has been earnestly studying the butterfly fauna of Myanmar for more than 15 years. Last June he visited Chin state, western Myanmar. Chin state is located in the border area just next to India. Most of the state is occupied with mountains called Chin Hill. Chin state is also famous as the battle field during WWII. The record of butterfly fauna in this area is quite scarce, only some old literatures such as Watson (Brithsh Army and posted in this area during the service) are available.
Recently Mr. S has visited there several times and achieved many interesting findings. Among them, the discovery of a striking new Genus of Zephyrus Hairstreak (Genus Shizuyaozephyrus) is notable. Unfortunately this visit was not so much successful because of the heavy rain and bad road condition. In this video some common butterflies are fimed. The details should be reported by Mr. S himself in the future.
