Description:

This distributional checklist includes all known butterfly (Rhopalocera) species found in what is now Pakistan, India (including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands), Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. 1450 species are currently recorded in this vast area. The distributional checklist presents the species in a systematic order, divided into subspecies (with synonyms) and information on their distribution. The extensive bibliography includes a large number of both classical and contemporary publications, and will help everyone who studies butterflies and gives an idea of the huge diversity and uniqueness of this territory.

This book will be useful to anyone interested in entomology, zoogeography and biodiversity, and there will be a handbook for both professionals and nature fans.

Please note - this checklist is not illustrated.
