BRABY, Michael F.

Butterflies of Australia. Their Identification, Biology and Distribution

Collingwood, CSIRO Publishing, 2000.

Quarto, two volumes, xx, 458 and viii, 459-976 pages with over 1000 illustrations, hundreds of distribution maps and 70 colour plates plus endpaper maps.

Colour-pictorial papered boards lightly scuffed, with an indentation across the front cover of the first volume (a minor production flaw); an excellent set.

'This outstanding new work is the definitive guide for the identification of Australia's butterflies. Nearly 400 species - all those currently recognised from Australia, plus those from surrounding islands - are represented, with all adults and a selection of immature stages displayed in stunning colour photographs' (rear cover blurb).
