Abstract: During April to September 2017 and April to September 2018, Mt. Fengyang in Zhejiang province was selected as the research area, and butterfly species were monitored monthly by using the sample line monitoring method. The diversity index(H′), the specific richness(R), the dominance index(D), the evenness index(J)and the similarity coefficient(j) of the seven sample lines of butterflies community were calculated and analyzed by Excel software. The results showed that a total of 4 688 butterflies were monitored, of which 228 species in 108 genera under 5 families. Nymphalidae were the dominant group, with the most genera number (42), species (107) and individuals (2 255), accounting for 38.9%, 46.9% and 48.1% of the total butterfly community in Mt. Fengyang. The diversity index(H′) of Dasai village sample line( Ⅰ ) was the highest and Luao village sample line(Ⅵ) was the lowest. The specific richness(R) of Shatian village sample line( Ⅲ ) was the greatest. It was found that there were more species of butterflies investigated from May to July, followed by August and September, and the lowest in April. The results showed that habitat types, highway construction, tourism development and climate change had effected on the distribution of butterflies in Mt. Fengyang.
