Butterflies and Moths of the World
Classification
The classification used in the current catalogue follows Kristensen (1999), with the exception of Gelechioidea and the Riodininae. Owing to the radically different and contentious nature of the classification of the Gelechioidea used by Hodges, in Kristensen (1999), the classification used here for the superfamily follows Nye & Fletcher (1991). The Riodinidae are treated as a family and divided into subfamilies following Lamas et al. (in press).
The superfamilies, families and subfamilies listed in the table are arranged more or less in the order given in Kristensen (1999) with changes to facilitate comparison of the superfamilies, families and subfamilies (where relevant) used in Nye (1975), Fletcher (1979), Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980), Fletcher & Nye (1982), Fletcher & Nye (1984) and Nye & Fletcher (1991).
The catalogue currently includes 126 families and 250 subfamilies in 47 superfamiles. In cases where the superfamily or family are unknown to us, we have used the expression 'Superfamily unassigned' and Family unassigned' respectively.Only 17 genus-group names are currently unplaced in a superfamily.
In cases where subfamilies are used in the above sources, but the subfamily assignment of a genus-group name is unknown to us, we have used the expression 'Subfamily unassigned'. 4,994 genus-group names (4,019 of which are available names or objective replacement names) are currently unassigned to a subfamily in families where these are used, although 22,860 genus-group names (17,453 of which are available names or objective replacement names) are assigned to a subfamily.
Tribes and subtribes have been added for genus-group names of all butterflies and hawkmoths. Further details.
Table. The classification of the Lepidoptera used in this catalogue with the numbers of genus-group names and the numbers of available (including objective replacement) genus-group names in each family (or subfamily) plus the classification used in earlier sources. If a family is divided into subfamilies then the number of genus-group names is quoted for each subfamily, rather than the family.
