Dominican Republic

[Michael Gochfeld]

Riley's FIELD GUIDE A field guide to the butterflies of the West Indies,
224 p., Collins, Londonis dated 1975, but although there have been a lot
of changes since then, it is still the most convenient field guide,
including a checklist of species by island.  

 

D.S.Smith, LD Miller and JY Miller 1994, Butterflies of the West Indies
and South Florida also covers the West Indies, but is not a field guide.
It is a great book, although for some reason it completely avoids
English or "common" names.

Alex:

Though I was a Lorquin member - I have not been to Los Angles in about
10 years.  I know relatively little about the butterflies of the
Caribbean - though I do think there are a couple of books out.  I know
of no one who has collected there.

I am CC'ing your request to the Leps-l mail list - perhaps someone there
can help you!

To those on Leps-l - please reply directly to Alex at the address below.

Who knows if you still remember me, but we talked a while back about
Mexico. Btw, were you at the Lorquin meeting the other day? I'm the 17
year-old kid that brought in the droor of Parides.

Anyway, I will be taking a short trip to the Dominican Republic in a few
days and I would really appreciate any advice on collecting locations or
people that you may know who have been there. Maybe you have some
specimens from there that have data? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. 

 

Thank you for your time,

Alex
