SYNONYMIC LIST 



OF 



BRITISH BUTTERFLIES & MOTHS, 



By HENEY DOUBLEDAY, Esq. 

 SECOND EDITION, V^/ITH SUPPLEMENT. 



This is the only correct List of British Lepidopterons Insects. — 



It contains the Names and Synonyms of every Butterfly and Moth 

 discovered in Great Britain up to date of Supplement. The arrangement 

 is founded on that of M. Guenee, the Facilis Princeps of Lepidopterists. 

 The great object in printing this most complete and laborious work is to 

 establish a uniform nomenclature — the diversity hitherto existing being a 

 source of confusion and perplexity to all beginners. Not only is Mr. 

 Doubleday's own collection (the normal collection of British Lepidoptera) 

 arranged and named in accordance with this List, but so also is every 

 important collection throughout the country. 



" With regard to aiTangement and nomenclature of Butterflies and Moths, 

 I beHeve that the vast majority of collectors adopt both as contained in Mr. Double- 

 day's * Synonymic List.* This work is a monument of patient industry and laborious 

 perseverance : no collector should be without it." — Bev. Joseph Greene in 

 * Insect Hunter's Companion.'
