Butterfly Name TranslationsThe common and latin butterfly names used on this website are from the "English Names for North American Butterflies," NABA, 2001. For cross-referencing with the Atlas of Oregon Butterflies (Hinchliff, 1994), in which many of the names are sub-species names, see the table below.
