- Butterflies and Moths of the World (NHM) | Classification
- Lepindex (Global Lepidoptera Names Index) – "a digitised and updated version of the unique index card archive to the scientific names of the living and fossil butterflies and moths of the world at the Natural History Museum (London)" (last update in 2012).| LepIndex ID (P3064)
- Global Lepidoptera Index: CoL hosted – revised dataset based on LepIndex.| CoL tree | checklistbank
- According to the CoL dataset record, "large sections of the dataset are outdated and contain errors or inaccuracies (particularly relating to changes in higher classification and incomplete data on historical combinations for each epithet)".
- "LepIndex has now been imported into TaxonWorks and is maintained there as an online curated resource. Significant updates have been made to some families" (see box to right)
- "The Global Lepidoptera Index is not at present actively maintained for the following Lepidoptera groups since these are maintained in other public datasets" (see list below with links to checkkistbank and date of update):
- Other sites on taxonomic groups
- Regional resources
- Wasps, ants and bees (Hymenoptera)
