Neotropical Butterflies
One of the most informative works is the following comprehensive
bibliography. It includes references for butterflies recorded south of US
border, i.e. from Mexico to Patagonia. It does not include references for
butterflies known only from Canada and USA. It can be searched for a species or subspecies name to find the original description. The link below is to a PDF file. We plan to convert it to HMTL format
later.

of omitted papers would be very helpful for their inclusion in future versions.
