Australian Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): Introduction and Subfamily Lamiinae v. 1: (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Volume 1

“This book will be valued by amateur collectors, professional systematists, and personnel of state and federal agencies who are charged with identifying beetles that have been intercepted in international quarantine. Moreover, any true fan of longhorned beetles will cherish this volume for it stunning collection of images, which in my view qualifies it as not only an excellent reference, but even as a fascinating coffee-table book that will be appreciated even by non-entomologists. The eye-catching front cover, showing a beautiful beetle perched on a twig, would entice anyone to pick up the publication, and thumbing through it they will be struck by the great diversity of species, and fascinating variation in form and coloration, within this one subfamily of the longhorned beetles.”– “Quarterly Review of Biology (Lawrence M. Hanks, Entomology, University of Illinois, Urbana)”
