Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region - Hesperiidae part I is the first in the 'Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region' series to cover the Hesperiidae, a family of inconspicuous but very interesting butterflies that has been studied by numerous lepidopterologists around the world for several years. The book covers around thirty species, including a new Carterocephalus.
This volume, Hesperiidae part 1, covers subfamilies Coeliadinae & Heteropterinae.
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.
