It is Generally ::l.cknowledged 8.mong ;.ffierican Lepidopterists that butterfly taxonomy is in a rathor chaotic sta.te. Only rather recent­ly have the intensive studies of small groups begun to bring some or. der from tl18 confusion. However, "these investigations have been bas­ed ~ )rimarily on ge nit a1 8 tructures of museum spo cine ns • Comparative :3tudies of th8 immuture staGes can be of p:;l'eat value in classifying butterflies.
