This book summarises decades of research and collation of distributional data. From the tiny Freyeria trochylus (Grass Jewel), Europe's smallest butterfly, to the magnificent, newly arrived Papilio demoleus (Lime Swallowtail), this comprehensively illustrated reference book and field guide includes all butterfly species known in Cyprus over the past 100 years. Where applicable, reference is made to subspecies of related taxa present in nearby countries of the eastern Mediterranean. The images on the cover represent the island's seven endemics, discussed in depth. Included, too, are detailed distribution maps representing records garnered from almost 300 recorders/sources (particularly members of the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group), over a period of more than 20 years.

"In aspiring to write a new series on the Levant, our aim was to assemble and publish as much information as possible on the region's butterflies. This required time, patience, and resources; indeed, the series reflects the first author's seven decades of study in Israel and nearly ten years of searching for information in the wider Levant. In these books, we present the butterflies in their actual size, illustrating upper- and undersides of both genders, and photographs taken in the wild. We describe and illustrate their metamorphosis, their larval hostplants and, where known, their parasitoids. Ethology is shown in 17 modules: territoriality, hilltopping, mud-puddling, fruit nectaring, communal roosting, group nectaring, 'ravining', local species, four types of migration and five types of myrmecophily. Defence tactics, mate location behaviour, female rejection postures and 'tactics', reflect numerous field observations of the butterflies and of their early stages in their respective biotopes."--
