This volume, the twentieth of the series Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region and the fifth about the Satyrinae subfamily, deals with three genera in the tribe Satyrini: Satyrus, Minois, and Hipparchia. They are widely distributed in the Palearctic region, quite popular and the object of much attention among lepidopterologists. However, despite the very rich dedicated literature, these butterflies, and in particular Hipparchia and Satyrus, maintain large areas of taxonomic ambiguity. Distinguished scientists used the term bad species to characterize species of the genus Hipparchia as taxonomic units that do not conform to criteria used to delimit species. To a broad critical look, these butterflies seem to show an excess of taxonomic over-splitting. The analysis of DNA barcode sequences, based on the mitochondrial gene COI, that in other lepidopterans provided valuable taxonomic suggestions, has not shown particular utility in these two genera and in Minois as well. The authors made an effort to gather the available evidence to outline a taxonomic revision in line with a biological species concept. Based on previous work, the authors have already tested the strength of the multidimensional approach; therefore, also for this issue, they integrated all accessible data on genetics and genitalia morphology, many of which were still unpublished.

This volume, the nineteenth of the series Guide to the Butterflies of the Palearctic Region and the third about the Pieridae family, deals with two very different and interesting butterfly groups: the subfamily Dismorphiinae, with the genus Leptidea, and the subfamily Coliadinae, tribe Rhodocerini, with the genus Gonepteryx and three more genera, Dercas, Eurema and Catopsilia, having a limited presence in the Palearctic region.

Zustand: New. 368, 38 col plates. . HB. NEW. . Covers 308 species of the Lycaenid subtribe Polyommatina. Colour plates present set specimens of adults from collections, including many type specimens and rare species. The text includes information for each taxon: by whom, when and where it was described, type locality, distribution and taxonomic notes. The structure of the genitalia of males is described in detail, differences between closely related species are discussed. The genitalia drawings are enlarged to allow important details of the structure to be clearly distinguished. Female genitalia is briefly reviewed. [9788090708969].…

This monograph covers 308 species of the butterfly subtribe Polyommatina. Included are 38 colour plates presenting collection specimens, including many type specimens and rare species. The text contains basic information about each taxon: by whom, when and where it was described, type locality. The structure of the genitalia of both males and females is described in detail, and differences from closely related species are discussed. The text also contains a section on distribution and taxonomic notes for most species. The highly artistic, yet scientifically accurate drawings of genitalia are depicted at a reasonable magnification, allowing important details of the structure to be clearly distinguished. Pardubice. Tshikolovets Publications. 368 pp., 38 plates with color photos, num. b/w line drawings, hardback 4.…
