I can also recommend these Blandin books. The first three are nice picture books but the "Classification" volume, whilst it doesn't have any plates, is by far the most useful.
Oliver Schaeffler is also writing the Morpho volumes for Frankenbach's "Butterflies of the World" series. Only two volumes have been published so far and these only cover the subgenera Iphimedeia and Schwartzia, so it could take a while for the whole series to appear.
Like all modern picture books, they are all fairly expensive.
