From the tiny Freyeria trochylus (Grass Jewel), Europe's smallest butterfly, to the magnificent, newly arrived Papilio demoleus (Lime Swallowtail), this comprehensively illustrated reference book and field guide includes all butterfly species known for Cyprus over the past 100 years. Featured on the covers are images of the island's seven endemics, which are discussed in depth and, where applicable, species/subspecies present in nearby countries of the eastern Mediterranean are given. Included, too, are detailed distribution maps representing records garnered from almost 300 recorders/sources (particularly members of the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group), over a period of more than 20 years.
Content includes many citations complemented by a supporting Bibliography, with emphasis on butterflies of the eastern Mediterranean region. The book is aimed at butterfly enthusiasts seeking to identify Cyprus's butterflies, and professional entomologists and academic researchers.

A period of residency in Cyprus followed by annual visits enabled Eddie John to study the island's butterflies and to establish the Cyprus Butterfly Recording Scheme. In 2002, he edited (and provided distribution maps for) 'Butterflies of Cyprus' (Makris, 2003; 329 pp. Now out of print ). EJ was the principal editor of an 895-page book, 'Wildlife of Cyprus' (Sparrow & John, 2016) and contributed a 64-page chapter on butterflies. In 2020, he co-authored and edited Vol II of 'Butterflies of the Levant' (Benyamini & John). He has written or co-authored over 50 papers, the majority peer-reviewed.
Christodoulos Makrisis a permanent resident of Cyprus. For more than thirty years he has studied, documented and photographed the biodiversity of Cyprus, maintaining an archive of thousands of photographs of the flora and fauna of the island. He is the author of the book 'Butterflies of Cyprus' (Makris, 2003; 329 pp., now out of print) which includes more than 800 of his photographs. He has written or co-authored over 30 papers; the majority published in peer-reviewed journals.

Zustand: As New. 399, 300+ col photos, 56 col maps. . HB. Fine - as new. Cyprus offers the butterfly enthusiast, whether amateur or professional, an opportunity to study species not encountered elsewhere in the Mediterranean basin. Included in this book are details of endemic species and subspecies, all commonly found on the island. Present, too, are various species of eremic origin, one of which (Apharitis acamas, Levantine Leopard) has its westernmost European presence in Cyprus. The proximity of Cyprus to the Middle East and North Africa encourages the appearance of migrant butterfly species, with mass migrations occasionally occurring. It is anticipated that climate change and range expansion will see the arrival of other species and these, along with the 54 butterfly species currently listed for the island are also discussed. Additional sections include: A review of butterfly research in Cyprus Biogeography of Cyprus' butterflies Life-history of the butterfly (with illustrated observations of predation) Habitats Butterfly behaviour (including migration, aestivation and adult nutrition) Biodiversity and endemics Well-illustrated species' entries also provide information on: Distribution - where, for the first time, comprehensive distribution maps for each of Cyprus' butterfly species at 5 x 5 km square resolution are presented Flight periods Larval hostplants relevant to Cyprus Ecology and behaviour Descriptions/key identification aids Conservation status of butterflies in Cyprus A chapter on the status of butterflies in Cyprus includes local guidance on collecting restrictions and conservation, and a closing chapter explains the planned Butterfly Monitoring Scheme under the auspices of Butterfly Conservation Europe and the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group. Content includes many citations complemented by supporting Bibliography, with emphasis on butterflies of the eastern Mediterranean region. The book will appeal to those simply seeking to identify the island's butterflies, and to the more academically inclined researcher. Key points to note: the first comprehensive review and guide to the butterflies of Cyprus, a vital habitat for migrating and endemic species includes over 50 detailed, full colour distribution maps beautifully illustrated with over 300 colour photographs of the butterflies and their habitats The intended audience is professional entomologists, butterfly experts, insect conservation biologists, amateur entomologists, lepidopterists and naturalists.
