Current known occurrence until this reporting: India (Rajasthan northwards to Himachal Pradesh, eastwards to West Bengal, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and southwards to Kerala), Pakistan, Sri Lanka ( Varshney & Smetacek 2015; Kehimkar 2016; Singh 2016; van Gasse 2017; Boruah et al. 2018; Singh & Sondhi 2016; Flora et al. 2020; Kumar et al. 2020; Soman 2021).
Remarks. A silverline butterfly was spotted nectaring on flowers of Rubus niveus (Thunberg, 1813) near Galgander (33ᴼ07′49″ N - 75ᴼ33′49″ E, c. 920 m), district Doda on a sunny morning of 3.ix.2020. The individual was photographed in the field and identified as Spindasis ictis
(Hewitson, 1865), Common Shot Silverline ( Fig. 3 View Figures 2-5 ) after consulting Kehimkar (2008, 2016),
Varshney & Smetacek (2015), Sondhi & Kunte (2018) and online web resources (https:// www.ifoundbutterflies.org//sp/877/Spindasis-ictis). The known western distribution of this species is from district Kangra of Himachal Pradesh ( Soman 2021) and this reporting is thus the first from the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
