![[Butterfly Header - North American Butterfly Association]](../../nabahead.gif)
| This is a checklist of Mexican butterflies with English names for almost everything, outside of many hairstreaks and skippers. This draft hasn't been extensively proofread and so undoubtedly contains a number of typos. The checklist itself follows the soon-to-be published Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera CHECKLIST. Part 3: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea by Lamas et al., except in those cases where the NABA Checklist & English names of North American Butterflies uses a different name or taxonomy. |
