Fish die-off in the Attanagalu-Oya River, Sri Lanka: a provisional checklist of icthyofauna
H. Sudasinghe*, P. Suranga & D.M.S.S. Karunarathna
*Corresponding author. E-mail: hsudasinghe@gmail.com
Attanagalu Oya basin is situated between the two major river basins Kelani and Maha Oya in Western province of Sri Lanka and has an extent of 779 km2. It plays a major role in national water supply since it contains four major national water supply and drainage board intakes. This short communication intends to provide a recent report of fish die-off in the Attanagalu Oya and also include provisional checklist of icthyofaunal diversity in the area. The fish faunal data were collected from the catches of fishermen using cast nets, and hooks. In addition, fish in shallow areas were sampled by using small trawl nets and hand nets. Freshwater fish species were identified and classified by using published field guides and recent taxonomic research papers.

Range extension of Pethia nigripinna (Cyprinidae) to Karnataka, India
J.D.M. Knight*, A. Rai, R.K.P. D’souza & B. Vijaykrishnan
*Corresponding author. E-mail: jdmarcusknight@yahoo.co.in
The black-finned barb, Puntius nigripinnis Knight et al., 2012 currently designated to the genus Pethia Pethiyagoda et al., 2012 is a little known barb described from the east flowing Cauvery River basin. The present knowledge on the range of Pethia nigripinna is based only from its original description, as there have been no subsequent records of this species from the Western Ghats. Until now, P. nigripinna is known to occur only in Kalindhi stream, Kabini River in Wayanad, Kerala and Kakkan halla, Moyar River, Tamil Nadu.

Velella velella (Hydrozoa) on the coast of Pakistan along the northern Arabian Sea
S. Gul
*Corresponding author. E-mail: gulshahnawaz@yahoo.com
Taxonomic information on Hydrozoa from waters of Pakistan is limited to relatively few studies. None of them reported the pleustonic species Velella velella (Linnaeus, 1758). Daniel (1976) reviewed the worldwide distribution of the two dimorphic forms of V. Velella (with the sail oriented either Northwest or Southeast), but no occurrences of the species were recorded in the northern Arabian Sea. The aim of this report is to record this hydrozoan found on the coast of Pakistan, as knowledge of its occurrence in the region is lacking in the scientific literature.

Rediscovery of two Darts (Lepidoptera) in Sri Lanka after 90 years
T.M.T.S. Priyadarshana*, C. de Alwis & G.V.I.H. Wijewardana
*Corresponding author. E-mail: tharakas.priyadarshana@gmail.com
A total of 245 butterfly species (Order Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) have been recorded from Sri Lanka. Although a listing of 245 species is substantial not all species are common, some may be widespread and uncommon. In particular, Potanthus [Hesperiidae] is widespread geographically with three species occurring in Sri Lanka: P. pallida, P. confucius and P. pseudomaesa. According to a recent publications, P. pallida and P. pseudomaesa are rare in Sri Lanka.
