Back in 2015 Alan Martin and Jorge Bizarro started work on a guide to the butterflies to accompany the three books already published that are specific to the Serra dos Orgaos area in the state of Rio de Janeiro, south-east Brazil (hawkmoths, dragonflies and birds). What started as a three-year project has taken seven years, partly because the number of species recorded in the area is more than had been anticipated but also because it proved very difficult to source photos of some of the rarer species.

The book covers 803 species (excluding grass skippers) with descriptions, comparisons to similar species, global distribution and notes on the ecology, behaviour and host plants. All but three of the species are illustrated with over 1,300 photos of live specimens or, where not available, photos of pinned specimens. There are also introductory texts for each family, subfamily and tribe.

There are very few books on the butterflies of Brazil, and none that cover all the species of any specific area. Even though the target area is relatively small, many of the species covered are widespread in South America.
