Mr. Masa-aki Samusawa, the great collector of the World's Great Orange Tip, presents 48 subspecies of genus Hebomoia. The author not only indicates the detailed explanation and variation, but also proposes new concepts on the issue of species classification based on his valuable observations. In this book, specimens (upperside and underside of some species) from all the important localities are shown in full size. It is extremely difficult to have the opportunity to see so many of the world's H. glaucippe as well as H. leucippe in one place, and readers will be impressed with the regional variations and outstanding beauty of these species by own eyes. Some holotype and paratype specimens are included in the Samusawa Collection, which are indicated by”H”and“P”in red.
We are currently accepting reservations. Once the item arrives, it will be shipped.
