全球大弄蝶亞科之分類檢討

一本千呼萬喚才問世的一篇文章, 原始版本為千葉秀幸博士於1995年獲得夏威夷大學博士學位時的博士論文. 其中與台灣產分類群相關的觀點包含: (1) 台灣產尖翅絨弄蝶被視為原名亞種Hasora chromus chromus, 而非H. c. inermis; (2) 大綠弄蝶台灣亞種formosanus被處理為日本亞種的同物異名, 因此台灣產族群之有效學名成為Choaspes benjaminii japonicus, 此分類處理為新同物異名; (3) 台灣產褐翅綠弄蝶(chrysopterus)被視為原名亞種的同物異名, 因此其有效學名成為Choaspes xanthopogon xanthopogon.

Abstract
The subfamily Coeliadinae of the family Hesperiidae is reviewed. The group is classifi ed into
9 genera, 78 species, and 202 subspecies, in which a new species and 4 new subspecies are described. Four of the species previously classified in the genus Coeliades have been transferred to the genus Pyrrhiades. Keys to the genera and species, general generic characters, distribution pattern, synonymic lists, type information, and geographic distribution are given. Brief description and diagnostic characters are provided for each species and subspecies. In addition, their early stages and bionomics are also shown where known. Nearly all of the species and subspecies referred to are illustrated.
