A Distributional Checklist of the Butterflies and Skippers
of the New York City Area (50-mile Radius) and Long Island

This checklist is based on over 5,000 records of the New York City Butterfly Club, compiled over nearly a decade. It includes distributional accounts and flight-period graphs for regular species.
