Preface

I have been in Bolivia six times now since January 2005 and photographing butterflies in Yungas, the Andes east side. Several expedition have been with Peter Møllmann, other people are Ib Kreutzer, Jan Flindt Christensen, Annelie B. Nielsen and Else M. Sveigaard on an expedition to Bolivia.

The list has been started because I had track of all my photos of butterflies from Bolivia, I did not know how many different species I've photographed? And it has irritated me a lot. Now after three months I begin to get an overview of how many species I have photographed, and it has been an exciting job to do.

Without help from Fauna Bolivia. Biodiversidad Mariposas. List of butterflies found in Bolivia. Author; Y. Gareca; Forno, E.; Pyrcz, T.; Willmott, K. & S. Reichle (1994 - 2006): Lista de Especies I never could make that list!

Must especially thank Steffen Reichle that they will show their latest list of Lycanidae from Bolivia.

For Kim Garwood; Neotropical Butterflies and Richard Lindstrom, I thank for their identification of Eudaminae species in Skippers, Hesperidae family.

The list is not finished yet, you presume after a study of Ithomiini genus which now stands a 138 species in Bolivia (Beccaloni & Gaston, 1994) they have after examination of Ithomiini species in an area that perhaps is approx; 2700 to 2900 species in Bolivia. Families are expected additions in Riodinidae and Lycaenidae. Work is still on list, there is the large group; Hesperidae to get up and running!
