| | UK Butterflies - Taxonomy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | The taxonomy of butterflies (their classification), with UK species listed, is given in the table below. |
 | | This table has been derived from a number of sources and, unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a universal agreement on a single taxonomy. |
 | | The taxonomy shown here is largely derived from The Lepidoptera Taxome Project at University College London, The Natural History Museum LepIndex, Markku Savela's FUNet project, "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Butterfly World" by Paul Smart, and The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland Volume 7 (1) Hesperiidae to Nymphalidae (the Butterflies). |
