Details
This comprehensive work comes in two hardback volumes plus a CD-ROM. The primary purpose of the work is to provide a substantial body of taxonomic information, much of it previously unpublished, on the available names of the Geometridae.
The catalogue is based on the most complete world classification of the geometrids, the card index to genera and species in the Natural History Museum. The two volumes include information on type specimens, type localities and, where possible, larval foodplants.
A CD-ROM listing all species referred to in the two text volumes included with the package will be of great value to verify valid names and to check spelling.
Geometrid Moths of the World is available to order from our co-publisher CSIRO Publishing. For details of how to contact them, please visit Publishing partners.
