About This Item
UK: Harley Books, 1986-01-02. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 222 x 157 mm. Senior, Geoffrey; Dyke, Robert. NO. This is still the only book in print to cover the British Pyralidae in any detail, and remains the definitive guide for the serious student of this group. There are 8 colour plates of set specimens, depicting both male and female where these differ, and also some variations. There is also a colour frontispiece with photos of 12 species in their natural resting positions, part of which is reproduced on the dust jacket. The text is quite comprehensive, and for each species gives a description, pointing out the more salient identification pointers, though this is in quite technical jargon and can be difficult to interpret for the inexperienced. There are cross-references to similar species, and further details about distribution, larval habits and foodplants.Presently, this is the only book in print to exclusively cover the British Pyralidae, and therefore is still a great buy for the serious British moth enthusiast.
