>This is the first list of scientific names of North American butterfly
>species prepared and reviewed by systematists since that of C.D. Ferris
>(1989).
>
>This list contains the most current scientific names for 780 North American
>butterfly species (Papilionoidea and Hesperiodea).  Authorship and date of
>publication (many corrected) are included.  The original spelling of
>species names are given in accord with recent practices.  Annotations with
>literature citations are given for many of the names as explanation for
>their current usage.  Species are numbered for curatorial
>purposes (subspecies are not listed).  Significant input was provided by many
>lepidopterists, but especially significant input was provided by Gerardo Lamas
>(author of Neotropical Butterfly Checklist [in press]) and Jonathan Pelham
>(author of upcoming synonymical catalogue of North American butterflies [in
>preparation], which will include subspecies).
>
>Also included are a list of Hawaiian butterflies and a list of species
>names excluded from the North American fauna (with brief explanations).
>
>The strength of this list is not only its completely up-to-date nomenclature,
>but the fact that over 380 references are provided that substantiate the names
>provided.
>
>The list in 83 pages in length, has clear plastic cover, black plastic back
>cover, and black coil binding for durability.
