This book is a synopsis of the insect order Psocoptera in tropical southeast Asia up 2005. Keys to families and genera facilitate recognition of all reported taxa from the region, and notes are given on distribution and diversity of all taxa. Numerous illustrations and complete references render this an indispensable tool for entomologists and students in the region, and as a synthesis for biogeographical and evolutionary studies. A checklist of all reported species (by Charles Lienhard, Museum of Natural History, Geneva) is appended.
