The Natural History Museum of London: The Global Lepidoptera Names Index

Created by the Department of Entomology at the Natural History Museum of London (NHM), this website features The Global Lepidoptera Names Index (LepIndex). The Index currently contains a total of 223,214 names spanning 16 superfamilies such as Acanthopteroctetoidea, Bombycoidea, Cossoidea, and Simaethistoidea -- just to name a few. The site is quite comprehensive providing sections on History of the Card Index, Current Coverage of LepIndex, How to Cite LepIndex, References Cited, and more. An important resource for lepidopterists around the world, LepIndex contains approximately "98% of all Lepidoptera names published between 1758 and 1981, plus misspellings and misidentifications..." Additionally, LepIndex links to other sections of the NHM and Department of Entomology including other databases, information about staff, and more.
