Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of the
world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects
for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable
image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on
science and conservation issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past
century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon
when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total
number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321.
This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between
temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among
different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within
temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of
numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal
communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate
and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical
decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little
is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the
preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on
them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
