Talk:Plastingia naga

Dubious

(Extracted from this link.)

The description of "naga" as given in the ButterflyCircle source (which is not a reliable source) is incorrect. This butterfly was described by Lionel de Nicéville, who primarily worked in the Himalayas and NE India and other parts of the Indian subcontinent. The type locality is given as "Sibsagar, Assam", check it out on Yutaka's site & de Niceville's original descrition. Hence the personification of the naga would be that of Hinduism. The Wikipedia article on Nāga in Buddhism also mentions a many-headed cobra. The dragon head interpretation as per the Wikipedia article is as per belief of Malay sailors. This makes the fact disputed and the hook is not supported by a reliable source. I advise you to remove the defective interpretation from the article and choose a different hook.
