Each volume has text, distribution maps, and illustrations of the moths it covers. When the series is complete, this will be the first time that all species of Lepidoptera recorded in Britain have been illustrated in a single reference work.

This is a list of species of butterfly with the common name fritillary.The term fritillary refers to the chequered markings on the wings, usually black on orange, and derives from the Latin fritillus, meaning "dice-box" (or, according to some sources, a "chequerboard"); the fritillary flower, with its chequered markings, has the same derivation.
