Fifteen years have elapsed since the publication of the first edition. Many novelties saw the light especially on the Pazala group of species. Molecular data and morphological characters disclosed new taxa and a number of systematic changes.
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.
