Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Describes 156 species, 31 varieties, and 4 forms, including 1 species new to science. There are keys to genera, subgenera, sections and subsections, but no keys to species.

The iconography consists of 80 plates of paintings (by Aurel Dermek & Ernesto Rebaudengo), each with several illustrations depicting various stages and often a cross-section.

The introduction and keys to genera, subgenera, sections and subsections are given in English translation, otherwise the work is entirely in Italian.
