Index to Scientific Names

This section of the book Colour Identification Guide to Moths of the British Isles presents a list of scientific names occurring in the book. The scientific names are listed in alphabetic order, by species, genera, subspecies, aberrations and forms in standard font. The book provides colour illustrations of the group of larger moths known collectively as the macrolepidoptera, and so enable all those interested in this subject to identify by wing pattern almost all the species likely to be found in the British Isles. It figures in colour all the species which, during the last hundred years, were either resident in this country or were suspected immigrants reported more than once.Keywords: British Isles; macrolepidoptera; moth
