Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region - Nymphalidae part IV is the fourth in the 'Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region' series to cover the Nymphalidae. This volume deals with the subfamily Apaturinae.
Some of the Apaturinae genera have a more or less relevant part of their range in the Oriental region, out of the area covered by this guide. Therefore those genera are only partially covered in the book. But, in order to give the largest possible picture, all the species and subspecies that somehow reach the Palearctic region are included, even if only at the borders of the Chinese transition area.
About the 'Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region' series
This is a series about the butterflies of the whole Palearctic, from North Africa and Europe to China and Japan. Each volume of the series will cover 80-100 species with full colour illustrations, genitalia drawings, distribution, taxonomy, variations and diagnostic characters. Many well-known lepidopterists worldwide are contributing to this project, with the final result being a series of booklets with each one covering a subfamily, a tribe or a group of genera with a total of 50 to 100 species. It is anticipated that, when completed, this series will comprise over 30 volumes of work covering the Satyridae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, Lycaenidae, Hesperidae, and other families.
