Heliconius and
related genera
1994 - 328 p - 51
colour plates - 41 distribution maps in colour - clothbound (25 x 33 cm
- 2,4 kg).
The nicest book ever published on these beautiful South-American
butterflies.
The genus studied are Eueides, Neruda and Heliconius.
The
work was printed soon after the death of Helmuth Holzinger.
It is his wife, Ruth, who painted the so marvellous colour plates.
The valve of the genitalia of each species is drawn.
At
the end of the book, an annotated and alphabetical list of species,
subspecies and forms, with references to the original descriptions is
very usefull: on 29 pages 963 names are cited and explained.
A masterpiece!
