The only list I've managed to track down on the Internet is at www.troplep.org/famlist.htm.
This list by J.B. Heppner is dated May 1997. It is published by the Association for Tropical
Lepidoptera. It lists worldwide Lepidoptera to sub-family level. 


British family classification is different from the European, which in turn is different from
the American. They can't all be right, though they are probably all incorrect!  I guess I'll
just have to change my labels, files, indexes and records everytime a new checklist is
published.
