Does anyone know of a website that lists the butterflies of Patagonia (Argentina).  I have an easier time finding a list for Patagonia, Arizona.

Noted Author Robert Michael Pyle Begins the First Butterfly Big Year
 
On the first day of January 2008, award-winning author and lepidopterist Robert Michael Pyle began a grand year-long adventure to find, experience, and identify as many as possible of the 800 species of butterflies in the United States and Canada. When Bob's journey is complete at the end of 2008, Houghton Mifflin will publish his encounters with butterflies, people, and landscapes as a book entitled Swallowtail Seasons: The First Butterfly Big Year.
 
You can support The Xerces Society's butterfly conservation efforts by making a pledge to the 2008 Butterfly-A-Thon. Individuals can pledge a certain amount for each butterfly species that Bob Pyle positively identifies, or may instead choose to pledge or donate a fixed amount. All proceeds from the Butterfly-A-Thon will directly benefit the Xerces Society's efforts to protect endangered, threatened and rare butterflies. To make a pledge, or to track Bob's progress and read his stories from the road, please visit the Butterfly-A-Thon webpage at www.xerces.org/Butterfly_Conservation/butterflyathon.html <http://www.xerces.org/Butterfly_Conservation/butterflyathon.html> . 
 
Bob Pyle founded The Xerces Society in 1971 and has published fifteen books, including such butterfly classics as the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies, The Handbook for Butterfly Watchers, and The Butterflies of Cascadia, as well as award-winning literary works such as Wintergreen, The Thunder Tree, Where Bigfoot Walks, Walking the High Ridge, and Sky Time in Gray's River, which recently won the National Outdoor Book Award for Natural History Literature. A lifelong butterflier, Bob envisions this undertaking as a chance to aid butterfly conservation while gaining a broad perspective on the state of butterfly habitats across the continent and their response to climate change.
