Chris – all the books have serious problems.  The main problem is the complexity of the fauna.  I was just in Brasil last year – and they freely admit that they don’t even have a comprehensive list of species known from the country.  That’s a problem…
 
I’d recommend Kim Garwood’s book - http://www.neotropicalbutterflies.com/ -as a first cut.  If you will be in the south, add on the Butterflies of Missiones Argentina (BioQuip sells this) and you will have a start.  These are exactly the two books that the Brazilians use in the south Atlantic forests.  Together, they cover the common species fairly well.

Greetings,

 

Is anyone aware of a good butterfly field guide/text for the butterflies of Brazil.  Looked online and could not really find anything.  THX
