/Checklist

One key aim is to set an extremely high standard of writing quality and user-friendliness in this project.

The articles try to display as many relevant images as possible. The aim being to be as useful and encyclopedic as is necessary. We would like to have, and in some cases, we have been able to obtain photos of:

• Adult (imago), egg, larva (or caterpillar) and chrysalis (pupa or cocoon).
• Male and female forms, polymorphic forms, mimic forms, dorsal and ventral views.
• Butterflies and moths involved in activities such as nectar-sipping, mud-puddling, mating, basking, migration, etc.
• Comparison of photos between models and mimics.
• Photos of any other aspect of natural history relevant such as host plant or parasites.
• Drawings or illustrations from old books, paintings or sculpture.

In the future we would like to attach video clips, list of common and vernacular names, distribution maps and comparison galleries to ease species identification.

• Prepare viable checklists for each family of Lepidoptera.
• Get the taxonomic check done through various resources:
• http://www.ucl.ac.uk/taxome/gbn/ may eventually be the primary database to lookup
• WikiSpecies pages on Lepidoptera are growing, so check [http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lepidoptera Lepidoptera overall] or [http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Papilioniformes Butterflies] to see what has been posted on this sister Wiki project.
• LEPINDEX ([http://internt.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research-curation/projects/lepindex/index.dsml] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409161228/http://internt.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research-curation/projects/lepindex/index.dsml |date=2008-04-09 }}). (N.B., LepIndex is not 100% accurate (though very close to it!), nor very up-to-date. Where recent authoritative publications post date the taxonomy in LepIndex, use and cite them.)
• Markku Savela's site - [http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/intro.html Lepidoptera and some other life forms].(N.B. Incomplete and incorrect at places, a collection of disparate data; good for a quick and dirty overview).
• Tree of Life Web site ([http://tolweb.org/ TOLWeb]) (Basically lists of species in genera. Suitable for seeing which species are presently considered valid by the panel of experts for that family/subfamily/genera).

• Place the stubs.
• Prepare articles to extent possible up to the required standard.
• Place images suitably captioned.

• Get maximum information, images, links and references for each article. Each article to be made up to required standard.
• Get a recording for spoken Wikipedia for each stable article.
• Get short videos appropriately for each article, convert to Ogg Theora, place on WM Commons and link up on the articles.
• Get maps ready for each species and place in each article.

• Lasiocampa quercus (Oak eggar) - I've been working on this article today, but I can't find any information on the range of this species beyond Britain and Ireland, other than mentions in France and Spain.

• Atalopedes campestris Been working on this but it is my first time at doing this level of original work. I don't think it's a stub-class article anymore but not sure how or where to ask for that to be changed. PopularOutcast ^talk2me 01:28, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

• Laothoe populi The list of synonyms in the info box is enormous and disrupts the flow of the article. Unless anyone objects, I will make this a three-column section in the body of the article. I've repeated this on the article's talk page. Tony Holkham (Talk) 10:58, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
• I need help on Atalopedes campestris. I've done the best I can. I am not a biologist so I think some part are not clear or I may have interpreted wrong from my research. I would like some feedback and pointers. Also, is there any way to request photos for larvae and eggs? I've found a handful online but there is no indication of who owns them or what kind of license they have. Also, they are not on reputable websites so I am not even 100% sure they are the right species.PopularOutcast ^talk2me 02:13, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
• Classification updates in Noctuoidea - this stems from my adding a talk note "Classification of Athetis" on the recently created page Athetis hongkongensis. Athetis is placed in the subtribe Athetiina, of Caradrinini, in Noctuinae, by Holloway (2011)Holloway, 2011. Moths of Borneo 2 http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-2/family-noctuidae.php, and also in Kononenko & Pinratana (2013),Kononenko & Pinratana, 2013 Moths of Thailand 3(2) [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Vladimir_Kononenko/publication/303868715_Kononenko_V_S_A_Pinratana_Moth_of_Thailand_Vol_3_Part_2_Noctuoidea_An_illustrated_Catalogue_of_Erebidae_Nolidae_Euteliidae_and_Noctuidae_Insecta_Lepidoptera_in_Thailand_Brothers_of_St_Gabriel_in_Thail/links/5759700c08aed884620ae121/Kononenko-V-S-A-Pinratana-Moth-of-Thailand-Vol-3-Part-2-Noctuoidea-An-illustrated-Catalogue-of-Erebidae-Nolidae-Euteliidae-and-Noctuidae-Insecta-Lepidoptera-in-Thailand-Brothers-of-St-Gabriel-in.pdf Noctuoidea. An illustrated Catalogue of Erebidae, Nolidae, Euteliidae and Noctuidae (Insecta, Lepidoptera) in Thailand] which were both based on (developed in parallel with) the molecular review of Noctuidae by Zahiri et al. 2013. http://doi:10{{Dead link|date=September 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.1111/zsc.12022. The American list (see Results paras 11 & 12 of Lafontaine & Schmidt, 2013 http://doi:10{{Dead link|date=September 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.3897/zookeys.264.4441 and Fauna Europaea https://fauna-eu.org/cdm_dataportal/taxon/bb9d98b2-73dc-4b51-af53-cfc41f467c1f both now follow this arrangement. The Acronictinae is not the correct placement for Athetis. I suspect that there will be a lot of incorrect Wikipedia placements of genera in Noctuidae, as most volunteer Wiki editors/contributors have not yet caught up with the major recent upheavals in Lepidoptera classification. This is going to take a lot of effort, as thousands of species pages will be in need of correcting/updating..... We should follow the Zahirian approach as implemented by the American and European listings. The Fauna Europaea website's database already is updated, so there is no excuse to have Wikipedia out of data or incorrect. I can do a few items as time allows, but I am bogged down with other projects at work most of the time, so am looking to all other participants to give a bit of time to check Noctuioidea (i.e. Erebidae, Noctuidae, Nolidae, Euteliidae) taxa, especially subfamily, tribe, subtribe, genera) and their taxonomic placement. See also Zahiri, R.; Kitching, I. J.; Lafontaine, J. D.; Mutanen, M.; Kaila, L.; Holloway, J. D. & Wahlberg, N., 2010.

• I am working on a page about a new species of butterfly. Please, I want the new article that I created in my sandbox to be checked and see if it is up to Wikipedia standards. If there are any problems or anything you would like to add let me know. If the article is okay let me know so that I can paste it as a new article on Wikipedia. The link is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Space_chinedu/sandbox. I really appreciate if the new article I made is verified.

• Mythimna irrorata (& Timora irrorata) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythimna_irrorata] is with incorrect synonyms and appears to be an incorrect merger of two species .... confusing because both species were described in 1881 by Moore, but note the different pagination. Full synonymies can be found on Funet (links below). Please can someone address this issue?

• [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Lepidoptera.html By categories]

• {{tl|butterfly-stub}}

For example, placing the stub on a page gives the following effect:

{{asbox

| image = Exceptional newcomer.svg

| pix = 30

| subject = butterfly-related

| qualifier =

| category = Butterfly stubs

| tempsort =

| name = Template:Butterfly-stub

}}

mk:Шаблон:Пеперутка-никулец

It also places the associated stub category :Category:Moth stubs on the page.

• {{tl|moth-stub}}

For example, placing the stub on a page gives the following effect:

{{asbox

| image = Atlas_moth_transparent.png

| pix = 40

| subject = moth-related

| qualifier =

| category = Moth stubs

| tempsort =

| name = Template:Moth-stub

}}

It also places the associated stub category :Category:Moth stubs on the page.

Aside - the butterfly-stub shows a blue morpho butterfly, a nymphalid, while the moth-stub depicts an Atlas moth, a saturniid moth.

We now have stubs for many Lepidoptera superfamilies/families. See here for the full list.

Please place {{WikiProject Lepidoptera|class=article_quality|importance=article_importance|needs-photo=}} at the top of each article's talk page. This will help to direct editors to WikiProject Lepidoptera for guidance. The arguments to be filled for importance and quality can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lepidoptera/Article Classification. The value "article_quality" is a measure of the quality of the concerned article and will be one of the following: FA, GA, A, B, B, C, Start, Stub, List or Category. Similarly, "article_importance" is one of: top, high, mid or low. The "needs-photo" item if given a value of "yes" will indicate that a photograph is needed. An example of a WikiProject template with values of "B" for quality and "high" for importance and "yes" for needing a photograph will look like this:

and will produce this: {{WikiProject Lepidoptera|class=B|importance=high|category=no|needs-photo=yes}}

• {{tl|Lepidoptera}}

This template creates a box listing the families of Lepidoptera and provides a navigational aid. It also indicates by red links those families which do not have a wiki at all. This template is recommended for taxonomy wikis (above species level), checklists and general articles on Lepidoptera.

Placing this template on a page results in a box as shown below:

{{Lepidoptera}}

There's also the superfamily template, incorporating some of the historical and hobbyist terminology (not for taxonomic use).

WARNING: Just did a check but Lepindex can not be trusted wrt "original combination". LepIndex was last updated in 2012, and many parts of it are outdated or otherwise incorrect. It is no longer recommended that LepIndex be used as the authoritative reference to check Lepidoptera taxonomy. A revised, curated dataset based on the LepIndex digitized card archive, which is in the process of being corrected and updated, exists as Global Lepidoptera Index (and has been linked further down this list)

|title=How to cite LepIndex}}

:*Usage of data from LepIndex in scientific publications should be acknowledged using the following format:

::Beccaloni, G. W., Scoble, M. J., Robinson, G. S. & Pitkin, B. (Editors). 2003. The Global Lepidoptera Names Index (LepIndex). World Wide Web electronic publication. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/entomology/lepindex [accessed 6 January 2007].

:*If you wish to cite any unpublished information from LepIndex then please credit the person responsible for it (presuming the name of an individual is given). For example, on the card for bibarra Chu & Wang, 1991 there is a pencil annotation by M. Shaffer written in 1991, which indicates that he transferred this species to the genus CANAEA (thus CANAEA bibarra is an unpublished or MS combination). The citation should therefore be as follows:-

:*Note, however, that some of the 'manuscript changes' written on the cards may have subsequently been published. It is therefore advisable to contact the person responsible for the annotation and ask whether or not this is the case. Note that Mike Shaffer, responsible for many of the manuscript notes in Pyraloidea and Thyridoidea has passed away. Thorough literature searches will be needed to establish if there have been published name changes, but also check the [http://www.pyraloidea.org/ Globiz Pyraloidea] database.
