The Butterflies of the
5th edition (2020) Revised by George Michael and Nancy van der Poorten
This updated edition incorporates new information on distributions, life
histories
and larval food plants. The taxonomy of each species has been reviewed
and
revised where necessary, and the text and relevant keys have been
updated with
newly published information. The text runs to 506 pages and includes an
extensive
bibliography and full indices. Additionally, the layout has been
modernized for better
readability and aesthetics while several of the figures have been
redrawn for clarity.
The
book includes a completely new set of 132 colour plates illustrating
every species
reliably recorded from Singapore and the Malay Peninsula, showing the
upperside
and underside of both males and females of most species. The immature
stages of
selected species, representing each butterfly subfamily, are illustrated
in 6 colour
plates. Twenty-five pages of genitalia drawings are also included as
supporting
material for the species descriptions. |
