Created by J.D. Holloway over a 20 year time span -- and brought to the internet by Southdene Sdn. Bhd., the Malaysian Nature Society, and the Natural History Museum in London -- the Moths of Borneo provides descriptions and full-color illustrations of approximately 4,500 moth species. This impressive website currently contains 14 volumes, and it is anticipated that four additional volumes will be added to complete the work. Each volume contains an abstract and a table of contents as well as sections for New Taxa, New Synonymy, References, Checklist, Genitalia, and more. Species are organized by various groups including family, subfamily, and tribe. While the species profiles generally include a brief diagnosis-accompanied by geographical range, and habitat preference (the moth groups receive more detailed descriptions).
