This checklist does not supercede any other because it is the first of its kind for the Neotropical region. It represents the cUlmination of several years preparation by the con- tributing authors and editor, following the initiation of the Atlas project in the autumn of 1978. The collaborators to the project continue their work, either for Atlas fascicles or for the more immediate completion of the remaining five parts of the checklist. The goal of the project is to provide a foundation work on the Neotropical Lepidoptera, illustrated to the extent possible and encompassing a detailed text covering the basic data known for each described species (original citation, synonymy, diagnosis, range, flight per- iod and hosts). New species will be described as each author finds useful, but the primary purpose is initially to document all the species already known. Efforts to document the Lepidoptera faunas of individual countries in Latin America are relatively illogical, since in most cases upwards of 80% of the entire Neotropical fauna is represented in each coun- try having tropical forest and, thus, such works would have to deal with most of the conti- nental fauna. The Atlas project covers the entire region to begin with but as a coopera- tive project among all New World nations.
