Book Description
This Is The First Comprehensive Work On The Indian Pipunculids After Brunetti'S In 1923. The Importance Of These Flies As Biocontrol Agents Of Homopteran Pests, Especially Those Of Rice, Is Being Greatly Felt Now. Since The Fauna Of These Flies Was Very Poorly Known In India, The Flies Were Never Tried For Such Purpose. The Present Work Which Includes 91 Species From India Under 6 Genera Will Not Only Enable Workers To Identify The Desired SpeĀ¬Cies For Their Proper Manipulation As Biocontrol Agents But Also Be Useful In Discovering More And More Pipunculid Species.

The Families of Diptera of the Malay Archipelago
Author: Oosterbroek
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004631348
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
The first volume to appear in a new series of handbooks deals with the ca. 115 families of Diptera (flies and Mosquitoes) known or suspected to occur in the islands of Malesia. Diptera constitute one of the larger orders of insects, and are generally considered to be a taxonomically difficult group, even at the family level. They include various economically important groups, some for example acting as vectors of diseases in man and cattle, while others are beneficial in pest control by virtue of their parasitic of predatory habits. In this work, each family is characterised, and a key using characters of the adult insects enables identification to family level. In addition, information is provided on biology, ecology, economic importance, distribution, and status of taxonomic knowledge, with key references to each family. It further includes an introduction to the higher classification, general biology and morphology, with an extensive glossary. The text is illustrated with more than 200 line drawings. An exhaustive and up-to-date list of references facilitates access to the pertinent literature. For this book, the author has worked together with world specialists of the respective families. The Families of Diptera of the Malay Archipelago will be an indispensable tool for all those working in the fields of ecology, systematic biology, and conservation, as well as applied biology.
