Butterflies have a different name in every language, and sometimes different names in different neighborhoods. So butterfly's taxonomic names in Latin are listed in special books called taxonomic catalogs. The name used is supposed to be the first reference to a particular butterfly. Carolus Linnaeus named the first cabbage butterfly (Precis rapae) in the 1600s. "Precis" is the genus (group) name, "rapae" is the species name.
