Peter Smetacek's Butterflies of Delhi, published by Kalpavriksh could be added to this. Also, think the butterflies books of Nepal could be added in your list- specifically Colin Smith's work-Illustrated Checklist of Nepal's Butterflies and Butterflies of Nepal both by Colin Smith.

Dear All,

Please help me in completing the below list.
I have compiled a list of english and regional language books on Indian butterflies.
They have been listed in the chronological order.

Do let me know if I have missed out any book.

Thanks and Regards,
