From: Javed Ahmed <[email protected]> Subject: [ButterflyIndia] References on Indian Butterflies To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, March 20, 2011, 10:25 PM Greetings eveyone, I have had these references with me for quite a while now and I thought that it might be a great idea to post them for the benefit of all members.These are some classic references on Indian butterflies and they will most certainly help all enthusiasts identify their photographs as well as prove to be an invalubale reference guide to both amatuers as well as the seasoned professionals.Included are many classics ranging from The Taxonomy of Indian Butterflies by W.H. Evans and also the excellent Lepidoptera Indica Volumes. Warm regards and many thanks, Javed Jameer Ahmed P.S: Most of these works are under public domain so I know that I am NOT breaching any copyrights. I tried to email these as attached .PDF documents however the file size is too large.So what I am going to do is post links which users can visit to download these books Links: Moore's Lepidoptera Indica: http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/8763 Evan's The Indentification of Indian Butterflies: http://www.archive.org/details/TheIdentificationOfIndianButterflies Fauna of British India C.T Bingham : Volume I : http://www.archive.org/details/TheFunaOfBritishIndiaButterfliesVolI Volume II : http://www.archive.org/details/butterflies02bingiala Fauna of British India (Second edition on Butterflies) George Talbot: Volume I : http://www.archive.org/details/FaunaOfBritishIndia.Butterflies1 Volume II : http://www.archive.org/details/FaunaOfBritishIndia.Butterflies2 G.F.L. Marshall The Butterflies of India,Burmah and Ceylon (Three Volumes) : http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/10618 P.P.S: If anyone is unable to download any of these books,please write to me and I will mail soft copies of these classics impromptu! Please note that these books follow an older taxonomy and the classfication of butterflies has since then been worked upon and changed.Please follow any of the newer butterfly feild guides for aid in recent nomenclature.Krushnamegh Kunte's excellent "Butterflies of Peninsular India" along with Harish Goankars classic paper of Indian butterflies will be of much help. -- Enjoy
