The work explores the study of fossilized butterflies, providing a comprehensive account of existing knowledge on this specific group of extinct insects. By focusing on fossil specimens, Scudder aims to fill a gap in scientific research that has largely overlooked these creatures. The opening of the memoir outlines the author's initial interest sparked by the discovery of a new fossil butterfly in the Museum of Marseilles. It details his efforts to study various other fossils held in notable museums across Europe, facilitated by correspondences with prominent scientific figures. Scudder sets the stage for a thorough investigation of fossil butterflies, emphasizing not only the variety of species explored but also the comparative analysis of their historical context within the biological framework. The introduction serves both as a personal narrative and a foundation for the meticulous descriptions and classifications that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
