Ordo lepidopterorum est ex latissime agnotis insectorum orbis terrarum ordinibus,^[4] cui sunt insecta Heterocera haud sollemni more appellata et tres superfamiliae Rhopalocera simile appellatae: Papilionoidea, Hesperioidea, Hedyloidea. Lepidoptera multas exhibent fundamentalis corporis formae variationes, quae utilitates in modis vivendi et distributione eis dederunt. Aestimationes recentiores subiciunt ordini esse plures species quam olim putatas,^[5] et ordinem inter quattuor "speciosissimis" ordinibus esse, cum Hymenopteris, Dipteris, et Coleopteris.^[4]
