Aurelian Legacy: British Butterflies
and Their Collectors
Michael A Salmon, Peter Marren and Basil Harley
Although the collecting of butterflies is today an emotive subject,
it is impossible to separate a history of British butterflies
from a history of their collectors, without whose activities
our knowledge of the identification, occurrence, distribution
and variation of British butterflies would be much the poorer.
This entertaining and informative book charts the history of
British butterflies and their collectors since the seventeenth
century, a time when serious interest in natural history had
its beginnings. It contains brief biographies, with contemporary
portraits where available, of 101 deceased lepidopterists, generously
laced with anecdotes and quotations from their own and others'
accounts of their exploits. In addition to the numerous monochrome
figures, the book includes colour plates by 14 artists of British
butterflies from Petiver to Frohawk (including two illustrations
never previously reproduced), as well as colour photographs
of historic specimens.

Biology of Australian Butterflies
Edited by RL Kitching, RE Jones and NE Pierce
This book brings together the work of the last 20 years on the
biology of Australian butterflies. It presents reviews of taxonomy,
biogeography, ecology and behaviour. A series of single species
studies has been included to illustrate the range of butterfly
life-histories from the simple to the highly complex. Contributions
from most of Australia's eminent professional butterfly specialists
are included in the work. While the work is a professional reference,
the serious amateur will find much of interest.

with many in serious decline. This important book, fully updated
and revised, provides a broad survey of the emerging science
of butterfly conservation, using examples from several countries.
The author illustrates how attempts are now in progress to conserve
particular butterfly species, local assemblages and entire faunas.
It includes much practical advice, including a section on butterfly
gardening.

Butterflies of Europe: Lepibase 2.0
Contains over 2000 high-resolution photographs of all the European
butterfly species (some 491 species), from Portugal to the Ural
mountains as well as most of the species in nearby areas such
as the Canary Islands, Madeira, North Africa, Cyprus and Asian
Turkey. Upperside and underside images are available for every
species, and in some cases there are also photographs of the
butterfly in its natural resting position, the larva and habitat.
Full screen distribution maps are available for every species
as well as a detailed summary of the life history. The system
is extremely versatile and adaptable, allowing on-screen comparison
of species, full-screen images and modification of data. By
selecting one of the 35 country options it is possible to focus
on, for example, the butterflies of Turkey and to draw up a
species list for that country.

Butterflies of Hong Kong
Edited by Mike Bascombe, Gwyneth Johnston and Frieda
Bascombe
Comprehensive coverage of identification, systematics, biology
and ecology of the marvellously rich and diverse butterfly fauna
found in the region. Illustrated with colour plates and line
drawings, giving identification details and showing the forms
of males and females, eggs and pupae. Introductory sections
deal with butterfly biology in general with special reference
to the Hong Kong fauna, and the habitats found in the region.
Closing chapters detail all the known food plants of many species,
their parasitoids and hints on rearing larvae to adults, still
a critical means of identifying many larvae. The authors are
strong advocates for development of our understanding of butterflies
in the field and the growth of our knowledge of their biology,
ecology and conservation.

Butterflies of Papua New Guinea
Michael Parsons
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.

Butterflies Through Binoculars
Jeffrey Glassberg, Marc C Minno and John V Calhoun
Identifies butterflies as photographed throughout the state
of Florida - a state with one of the most diverse butterfly
fauna in the US - and simplifies identification by limiting

It covers several fascinating tropical species that can be found
in both Florida and the Caribbean and provides data on Florida's
flight times and abundances.

Butterflies of Wiltshire
Michael Fuller
This work draws on historical records from the last 150 years
and on records from the Wiltshire Butterfly Mapping Scheme to
present the first butterfly atlas for the county. It provides
an account of the changing fortunes of the 48 species found
in the county. Each species is illustrated with at least one
photograph, and additional photos show some of the county's
typical butterfly habitats. Distribution maps show the status
of each species in the county, and diagrams show typical flight
periods and results of transect counts for most species. Introductory
chapters cover Wiltshire's butterfly habitats, the history of
butterfly recording and the status of butterflies in Wiltshire.
