In the history of butterfly classification, the brand - new butterfly classification system is pioneering. According to their characteristics, the genetic relationship ( phylogeny ) and evolution extents, for the first time, the global butterflies are divided into 4 superfamilies and 17 families and the Chinese butterflies 4 super - families 12 families. The classification of parnassiidae, nymphalidae, libytheida, and riodinidae was thus resolved. The new system accords with butterflies' natural evolution and therefore is scientific. The classification system is innovative, represents China's highest level of butterfly research and is of high academic value, theoretical value and practical value.%崭新蝴蝶分类系统是蝴蝶分类史上的一个创举,它根据蝴蝶的特征、亲缘关系(系统发育)及进化程度,第一次把全球蝴蝶分为4总科17科,把中国蝴蝶分为4总科12科,科学地解决了绢蝶科、蛱蝶科、喙蝶科、蚬蝶科的分类地位问题,是符合蝴蝶自然进化规律的科学体系.该分类系统具创新性,代表了中国蝴蝶研究的最高水平,具有很高的学术价值、理论价值和实用价值.
