Species List

Most of the Neolatin names of butterflies and moths Nabokov used have been changing as long as they existed, and some have changed since Nabokov's time. Generic names have undergone most change while specific names have remained comparatively stable. There is no off-hand way of knowing the full present name  under which a particular species may be looked up. This is an alphabetical list of the 768 specific and subspecific names figuring in this Guide. Attached are the generic names assumed to be currently valid under which they are listed.
