The CSV files in this repository together form the contents of a Catalogue of Life Data Package (CoLDP file).
This CoLDP dataset is for the Catalogue of World Pterophoroidea, a continuously maintained checklist of the plume moths (Pterophoridae) and the few moths assigned to the family Macropiratidae. The dataset derives from the work of Cees Gielis in developing the 2003 catalogue, Pterophoroidea & Alucitoidea (Lepidoptera) (World Catalogue of Insects 4). Cees subsequently maintained the catalogue of Pterophoroidea as a word processor document. This was restructured in 2018 as v1.0 of this dataset and added to the Catalogue of Life as a component for this group of moths.
These files are added here to enable versioning and tracking. The CoLDPUtils repository contains tools for manipulating these files.
