Review

"DeVries has written an extremely important work, possibly the best field guide available for any group of Neotropical organisms. It sets a new standard for butterfly guides." (Journal of the New York Entomological Society)

"A fascinating and scholarly field guide of great value to collectors, naturalists, and professional biologists." (American Scientist)

"DeVries' The Butterflies of Costa Rica is the most important book on tropical American butterflies to appear in the last 30 years. It is a significant scientific accomplishment and is a beautifully designed and produced book." (Association for Tropical Biology)
