| Summary: | An annotated list concerning most of the representatives of superfamilies Papilionoidea and Zygaenoidea (Lepidoptera) from Portugal deposited in the National Natural History Museum (Museum Bocage) in Lisbon, Portugal the 28th March 1978, when it was almost completely consumed by the fire, is presented. It is based in a non-published study held by the former co-author when she achieved a scientific probation under the orientation of the fourth co-author (†). The “Querci’ Collection”, also destroyed by this disaster, is excluded as it has been previously studied and the results published; further, most of the specimens of genera like to Melitaea Fabricius, 1807 (Nymphalidae) could not be identified due to inexistence of specialized bibliography. Samples concerning 1272 specimens included in 79 species are reported. The district and circumscription, as well as the UTM 10 X 10 kilometres coordinates of each one of the collecting localities are reported and the present-day conservation status of each one of the species / subspecies in Portugal is referred. For each species, data on the host plants of the caterpillars are provided.
