Current classification of butterflies and moths

Community and Forum → Taxonomy. Classification → Current classification of butterflies and moths

Greetings to all.

There is a Russian-language website dedicated to lepidoptera. Or the beginnings of it. The main part of it at the moment is a catalog (descriptions and illustrations by type). As a basis, we use a database provided by a good person in an electrical form (which can be exported to MySQL).
Everything would be fine, but the database contains only European species. Now there is more and more information and photos of butterflies from the Far East or, for example, from Brazil. I would also like to publish them, since there is not so much exotic information in Russian on the Web.

Question: where can I find information on the classification of such species? That is, you can, of course, take it manually from megasites of faunal sites, but this is only suitable as long as the number of species does not reach any serious level. You can automate the process with a grabber, but, on the one hand, this does not always go away, on the other-it's too bad form. In addition, there is an idea to write to these comrades, saying, give Christ to the poor orphans for Christ's sake-but there are doubts about how correct this is.

In general, I ask you to advise something or just speak out on the topic.
Thank you.

Since everything is so bad-can you tell me at least some thread or website where not only Europe is considered?

you can still view the lists http://www.catalogueoflife.org/ , but there's a nightmare of confusion, full of synonyms...
