This study was conducted to record the butterfly fauna at Kuala Lompat, Krau Wildlife Reserve, Pahang in March and May 2013. A total of 302 individuals belonging to 90 species from six families of butterflies were recorded. Family Nymphalidae, the biggest family of butterfly in Peninsular Malaysia was the most diverse (40 species). The least diverse family was Riodinidae with only three species. Shannon index of diversity in May (H’ = 3.87) was slightly higher than March (H’ = 3.59). High species diversity is expected since this area is less disturbed. More species might be expected if sampling effort were increased.
