During the Society's move from the Alpine Club to its new headquarters at Dinton 

 Pastures, the Torstenius collection was maintained and curated by Brad Ashby, 

 allowing him to catalogue the collection and prepare this paper. The cabinets 

 containing the collection are now at Dinton Pastures. 



The following list of species is not a complete catalogue, rather it is a selection 

 of interesting species, subspecies and races which will be of interest to British as well 

 as European lepidopterists.
