The Lepidoptera checklist Handbook is an up-to-date list of moths and butterflies in Britain and Ireland.
So why do we need another Lepidoptera checklist? There are two main reasons. The first is to add in those species newly recorded in Britain and Ireland. Then the second reason is to reflect changes made by the process of taxonomic revision. Additionally this volume introduces new decimal-style checklist numbers for each species. For many serious moth trappers and recorders, these checklist numbers will supersede the earlier Bradley and Fletcher numbers.
The main list comprises:
- Resident species.
- Transitory resident species.
- Species believed to be extinct.
- Immigrant species.
- Species that have probably been imported but have been found in the wild.
Geographical coverage extends to England, Wales, Scotland, both parts of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
