Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects, an estimated 90 percent of the world's species
have scientific names. As a consequence, they are, perhaps, the best group of insects for examining patterns of
terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public. Hence,
they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the
striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he
mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British
islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and
temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical
zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups.

However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather than between
them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia,
and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates. In other words, unlike
comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made.
Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of
butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the
most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete
taxonomy will be minimized.
