Primitive and specialized conditions are specified for many characters. Only 5 families, with 19 subfamilies, are recognized. Among noteworthy points are the inclusion of Styginae and Riodininae under Lycaenidae, and of Heliconius and relatives under Nymphalinae. The Papilionidae are shown to be highly specialized rather than primitive. This conservative but comprehensive treatment of the superfamily deserves recognition in future classifications.
