Historical collection of butterflies (Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera) of the I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology NAS of Ukraine

Listed in GBIF

The dataset includes the biodata of the day butterflies specimens held in the fund collections of the I.I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology NAS of Ukraine.

Description

Most of the specimens were collected in Eurasia – from Italy to China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and mounted on the pins. Historical collection of day butterflies is formed by leading lepidopterists, such as Anton Ksenzhopolsky, Lev Shelyuzhko, Olexandr Lebedev, Volodymyr Karavayev, Vadym Sovinsky and others.

The Institute of Zoology's memorial collection of day butterflies is an invaluable national treasure, as many of its specimens belong to morphs or species that have disappeared from nature and are currently kept only in museum collections.
