The contents of the Butterfly Fauna of Taiwan, Volume 5: Nymphalidae are based on the orthodox taxonomy. Each species is introduced with its traditional Chinese name, synonymy, specimen examination, adult morphology, world distribution, distribution in Taiwan, larval host plants, biology, and notes; each species is illustrated with colour drawings of male and female dorsal and ventral specimens and anatomical drawings of the mating apparatus. It is the first taxonomic monograph that completely discusses the butterfly resources of Taiwan's main island and outlying islands, compiled and published by year, in five volumes.
