Synopsis
Offering a complete accounting of the insects of North America, this handbook is an up-dated edition of the first handbook ever compiled in the history of American entomology. By using American Insects, A Handbook of the Insects of America North of Mexico, Second Edition, readers can quickly determine the taxonomic position of any species, genus, or higher taxon of insect known to occur in America and Canada. Every order, family, and genus is conveniently numbered and indexed, making this volume the only complete single source for all of the names of orders, families, and genera currently available. This book fills the need for an accurate way to identify, with the several hundred drawings and photos, the common insects of all orders. Now there is a tool available to those working without a major collection and library; and those who would like to have a general knowledge of insect life without becoming overwhelmed by the vast number of minute insect species. This usable guide provides sizes, shapes, color patterns and salient features of some species of each major family by pointing out those groups most likely to be encountered, including all North America pests. What's New in this Edition? Researchers in many orders use the results of cladistics, a new tool for determining the relationship of orders, families, genera, and species of organisms, including plants as well as animals Specialists have provided lengthy lists of generic changes Many of the identification keys have been revised by adding more illustrations and making sure all description terms are in the Glossary The bibliographies of each Order section have been updated to include all important works that have appeared since the original edition, Reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the study of insects, this second edition of Arnet's pioneering and award winning reference provides the most complete single volume reference on the insects of America and Canada available. It masterfully organizes more than 1500 drawings and photos, allowing both the seasoned veteran and budding etymologist to readily determine the taxonomic position of any species, genus, or higher taxon of insect. Sizes, shapes, color patterns and salient features of each major family are identified. Every order, family, and genus is conveniently numbered and indexed. An index of common and Latin names provides nearly 40,000 entries.
