Condición: New. 596, b/w line drawings, colour photos. . HB. NEW. . Text Spanish. This monograph is the second devoted to the Chrysomelidae, a beetle family with more than 37,000 species described and probably many more still undescribed. The peculiar generalities of the group are reported and 13 species of subfamily Eumolpinae and 163 of subfamily Chrysomelinae are dealt with. The keys for the identification of these species are included, as well as the illustrative drawings, and geographic distributions for all of them. Moreover, in most of the cases biological data of interest are also indicated. At the end of this book, there is a very extensive appendix of scientific nomenclature. [9788400104887].…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - As in most groups of insects, scientific research on the Chrysomelidae began in Europe in 1758, with the description of a few genera and species by the Scandinavian entomologists C. von Linne, I.C. Fabricius, and others. As the 19th century dawned, many systematic entomologists took up the study of chrysomelid beetles, together with other groups of beetles, and many new species and genera were described from all parts of the world. This trend has, of course, continued down to the present time. However, researches on the Chrysomelidae did not remain restricted to systematics, and many new lines of study have been followed, especially in the present century, by workers who have benefitted from the advances made in related fields of pure and applied entomology. Much has been achieved in the study of the Chrysomelidae, as elsewhere, and it is the aim of the present book to provide a summary and guide to these achievements. It is also to be expected that this book will provide a stimulus for further studies on the Chrysomelidae, so that we can anticipate continuing progress in our knowledge and understanding of this group through the endeavours of an ever-increasing number of scientists. I offer my congratulations to all concerned in the preparation of this book and my best wishes for its success.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Chrysomelidae, along with Curculionidae and Bruchidae, are the most important phytophagous Coleoptera. At least 37,000 species of leaf beetles belonging to 19 subfamilies have now been described, and more probably remain to be discovered, especially in the tropics. Many species are familiar agricultural pests. The Colorado potato beetle, the cereal beetle, flea beetle and the corn root worms are but a few of the well known pests. Because of the economic importance and biological diversity, chrysomelids are an important taxonomic group for scientific inquiry.This book is divided into eight parts, entitled palaeontology, larvae and larval biology, trophic selection, genetics and evolution defence mechanisms, anatomy and reproduction, pathogens and natural enemies, and general studies in biology. The biologies of agricultural and forestry pests, Leptinotarsa, Plagiodera, Entomoscelis, Paropsis, Mecistomela and Aspidomorpha are dealt with in detail. Others, such as Timarcha and those in the poorly known Megalopodinae, are covered in Part VIII. In this volume the American, European, Asian and Australian fauna occupy the greatest part.This volume, together with Biology of Chrysomelidae (1988), provides a comprehensive coverage and helps to complete the picture of chrysomelid biology.…

Para poder identificar a estas especies se incluyen claves y se aportan descripciones, ilustraciones y las distribuciones geográficas de cada una de ellas. Además, en la mayoría de los casos se proporcionan datos biológicos de interés. Al final del libro se añade un apéndice muy detallado de nomenclatura científica.
