The remarkable richness of species found in New Guinea is no more spectacularly evident than in its bewildering and beautiful array of butterflies. The book begins by discussing New Guinea as a place, the origins and characteristics of its butterfly fauna, and some special considerations of New Guinea butterfly ecology and conservation. Its bulk is taken up with detailed descriptions of some 820 species recorded for Papua New Guinea and a checklist of the 920 species so far found on the whole island and its satellites. The illustrations are extensive and luxurious: the plates, a mixture of fine line illustrations which show wing venation and male and female genitalia, and photographic plates, which contain some 3000 specimens of all the forms and morphs of the species described, are complemented by 200 colour photos distributed throughout the book, which show a wealth of life history and ecological information.
