A series of five volumes entitled “A Handbook to the Order Lepidoptera” was published as part of Lloyd’s Natural History by Edward Lloyd, Ltd. in London, 1896. The series was edited by R. Bowdler Sharpe who was a curator in the Zoological Department of the British Museum. Sharpe was an extremely knowledgeable Ornithologist and worked closely with John Gould on his projects finishing some after Gould’s death. This particular series was authored by the eminent,W.F. Kirby, from the Zoology Department of the British Museum and one of the World’s Authorities on Butterflies and Moths. He was the Author of “European Butterflies and Moths” which is a great reference work and numerous other books.
