國立臺灣博物館(以下簡稱臺博館)成立於1908年,自然類標本蒐藏歷史久遠,為臺灣早期生物標本重要蒐藏機構。為了深入了解臺博館昆蟲蒐藏概況與重要性,建立臺灣生物多樣性資訊,開放館藏資源提供公眾使用,本文整理出現於臺灣地區的鳳蝶科標本資源,並進行標本採集資訊的校核與分析。從物種統計資料顯示,臺博館蒐藏之臺灣產鳳蝶科物種計有33種,瀕臨絕種或保育類物種皆有蒐藏。雖然臺博館以臺灣本土物種蒐藏為主,然而從標本採集資訊統計資料顯示,一半以上標本缺少採集紀錄,無法進一步提供學術研究利用,但仍可作為展示與教學使用。臺博館因蒐藏歷史久遠,不同時期採集紀錄無一致性規則,為建立系統化資料,提升學術利用價值,標本採集時間及採集地所在地區需要加以判讀與查證。本文建立之資料查證方法,可以作為博物館其他昆蟲標本資源整理之參考,研究成果可充實臺灣生物多樣性資料庫。
National Taiwan Museum, established in 1908, is an historic natural history museum with biological collections of Taiwan in early age. A survey of museum's specimens of Papilionaceae (Lepidoptera) known in Taiwan were conducted. According to the specimens examined by this study, there are 33 species collected from Taiwan by the museum, including the endangered and protected species. As more than half of the Papilionidae specimens are lack of collecting date and locality data, we can not get the evidences of existence for academic use, but they can be utilized in exhibitions and educational activities. Due to the inconsistency of collection records, data are reviewed and verified in order to establish the database in a systematic way for further utilization. The method of data verification can be applied to other insect famillies of the museum collections and the data provided by this assay can exhance the biodiversity database of TaiBIF.
