[Leps-l] Finding taxonomic descriptions

[Foley, Patrick]

Hi Neil,

Normally I expect to find the first papers cited in Genus or subGenus monographs. Sometimes catalogues, of say Hymenoptera, give the citations. I never owned the Nomina Insecta Nearctica, but I believe the paid-for version had citations for each species. Some versions of this are still on-line, but I have not looked carefully recently.

Where would one look to find the original taxonomic descriptions of a
species or subspecies?

For example, and it is only an example. Papilio machaon hispanicus Eller
1936
