Kojiro Shiraiwa, Qian Cong, Nick V. Grishin. 2014. A new Heraclides swallowtail (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) from North America is recognized by the pattern on its neck. ZooKeys 468: 85-135.

Abstract (part)

Heraclides rumiko Shiraiwa & Grishin, sp. n. is described from southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America (type locality: USA, Texas, Duval County). It is closely allied to H. cresphontes (Cramer, 1777) and the two species are sympatric in central Texas.

Florida Butterfly Gardening
By Marc C. Minno and Maria Minno
I purchased this book on Amazon and it was an invaluable source for helping me plan my butterfly garden. It also includes some helpful identification information. If I am thinking of visiting the nursery to buy a new plant, I consult this book first to see if I can find something as butterfly friendly as possible.

Zhang, J., Cong, Q., Shen, J., Song, L., & Grishin, N.V. (2023) Genomic analysis reveals new species and subspecies of butterflies. The Taxonomic Report 11(6): 1-62.

Abstract

Large-scale genomic sequencing of butterfly taxa reveals new findings that are presented here. While we focus on detecting species by comparative genomics and define subspecies as groups of populations genetically differentiated from each other but not as strongly as species (that is, subspecies as species in the making), we report other adjustments to butterfly classification.

Additional taxonomic refinements suggested by genomic analysis of butterflies.

Abstract:

Comparative analyses of genomic data reveal further insights into the phylogeny and taxonomic classification of butterflies presented here. As a result, 2 new subgenera and 2 new species of Hesperiidae are described:

Borna Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Godmania borincona Watson, 1937) and

Butterflies of Pennsylvania, a field guide
By James L. Monroe, David M. Wright
University of Pittsburgh Press
From the publishers page:
https://upittpress.org/books/9780822964551/

This work has all of the features that make field guides to a region's butterfly fauna useful to anyone with a serious interest in that fauna. . . . the book is a bargain and a must for anyone with an interest not just in Pennsylvania's fauna, but the northeast fauna as a whole.
