Review (by Malcolm Storey)

The first in a new series of lavishly illustrated works with many beautiful colour photographs.

Although the selection of species reflects the Italian origin, most of our species are represented, plus the likely candidates for new arrivals encouraged by global warming.

Key subgenera (p40), and further keys to sections and then to species. Species accounts with drawings of microscopy and abundant colour photographs.

Keys in Italian and English, species accounts in Italian.
