Abstract
F. W. Goodson's work has often been confused with that of A. L. Goodson and work by the former sometimes attributed to the latter. Two manuscripts of F. W. Goodson found in the General Library of The Natural History Museum in London, eight hand‐written notes, and four wing preparations for butterfly wing venation studies left in the Lycaenidae General Collection are described and catalogued. Nineteen species‐group names of neotropical eumaeine lycaenids either described or revised by F. W. Goodson are reviewed. Twenty‐four primary (holo‐, lecto‐ or syntypes) and 12 secondary (paralectotype) specimens representing nominal taxa described by F. W. Goodson have been studied and databased. Two new synonyms and five new combinations are established, and six lectotypes designated unintentionally are recognized. One subsequent lectotype designation is invalidated. Three neotypes and one lectotype are designated.
