Butterfliers:
?
Anyone with a serious?interest in the current state of butterfly names, taxonomy, systematics and?comprehensive bibliographies, might want to invest in this.? Prospective authors of butterfly books, guides, etc., might also consider this, so that their publications will reflect the most current information available.? This list, 20 years in the making, is highly authoritative, and has the backing of?many scientists (who are THE?undisputed?experts)?via a stringent, exhaustive?peer review process.? Unfortunately, many current books and checklists are falling behind as?science forges ahead, and this catalog will bring us all up to date.? Also, this catalog covers all described subspecies, which current guides seem to be increasingly ignoring.

> This new publication includes an exhaustive synonymic
> catalogue of all names that have been applied to the
> butterflies of the United States of American and
> Canada, through June, 2006. Eight hundred species and
> 234 genera are included from the region, and extensive
> lists of excluded species and excluded names are
> provided. In addition, a complete bibliography to the
> butterflies of the region is included, together with a
> subspecies-level checklist and taxonomic index. The
> synonymic catalogue enumerates names from family to
> species, and ancillary details are provided for each,
> including the original description, original
> combination, type locality, deposition of type(s) when
> known, and annotations when pertinent to their
> placement within the catalogue. Over one hundred
> pages (of 600 estimated total pages) are dedicated to
> the bibliography, which is the most complete ever
> assembled for the region. 
> 
> This document, representing over 20 years of research
> by the author, is being published as Volume 40 of the
> Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera. The contents
> of this publication have been carefully peer-reviewed

> acknowledgments). This is perhaps the most inclusive
> taxonomic catalogue ever published for a regional
