The Taxome project aims to coordinate the production, completion, and dissemination of online taxonomy of Lepidoptera on our planet at the species and subspecies level. It started around 2002, and was actively funded between 2004 and 2006. It completed taxonomic checklists for ~75% of all butterflies. It provides regional checklists for the Neotropics, Afrotropics, Nearctic (provisional), Australia and the Palearctic (partial), as well as global checklists for the families Pieridae and Riodinidae, and the subfamily Lybitheinae, and also for all butterfly genera.
GloBIS/GART was a initiative to provide access to general information about butterflies on the basis of a global taxonomic catalogue. It started in 1998, and by 2005 completed a global checklist of Pieridae and Papilionidae of the World. Web page last updated in 2011.
