Yasusuke Nishiyama kindly just sent me a copy of the 3rd volume in the series on Nymphalidae (s.l.), published on 30 November. Here is a low resolution scan of the leaflet:  Adam. |

Presumably the book is also available through various western specialist booksellers.
It seems a useful book for anyone interested in Nymphalidae (including what most people know as Libytheidae, Danaidae, Amathusiidae (called Morphinae now) and Satyridae), with spot distribution maps for each taxon. The only criticism I have is that the photos are reduced in size without clear indication for each species of the natural size. Smaller species are reduced less than the larger ones, so size reduction is not constant throughout the book. Despite the size reduction I should point out that photo resolution is very good, and markings are very clearly visible, with upperside and underside shown for each butterfly.
Adam.
