内容简介
First general work on the rich Microlepidoptera fauna of the region, describing and illustrating 650 species (about one tenth of the total known species). Covers southern Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, southern Vietnam, West & East Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines.
A very practical handbook for identifying families and species groups of microlepidoptera of Southeast Asia, with many references to New Guinea. A selection is made of the most common, beautiful or striking species from this region. Therefore it is possible to identify many species from the plates or at least find the family or genus where they belong to. A must for every microlepidopterist studying the Indo-Australian region.
