Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region - Lycaenidae part III is the third in the 'Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region' series to cover the Lycaenidae. This volume covers the butterfly subfamily Theclinae, Tribes Tomarini, Aphnaeini and Theclini (partim).
The series 'Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region' deals with over 500 species, more than 200 belonging to the family Lycaenidae. As in the previous issues of the series, the availability of specimens from remote and little known areas, the study of most of the available literature and the access to museums collections have allowed to clarify many taxonomic problems. All the taxonomic changes established in the present volume are listed after the introduction chapter. In the treatment of the tribe Aphnaeini the author has adopted a very wide interpretation of the boundaries of the Palearctic region, in order to give to the reader the largest possible overview of the existing species.
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.
