Abstract

The Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Belgium, comprising all Lepidoptera of Belgium, provides information on the systematics and the distribution per province arranged in time-periods. The aim of the catalogue is also to depict all species in nature and as museum specimens, along with their pre-imaginal stages and larval host-plants.

This dataset also contains images and vernacular names.
