5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent identification reference for Chalcidoids., July 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Annotated Keys to the Genera of Nearctic Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) (NRC) (Hardcover)

This is the essential reference for those wishing to identify Chalcidoids (very common, tiny parasitic wasps) to generic level. All known genera present in North America are covered, and each key is designed by one of the foremost experts of the family in question. Certain chapters are unusually authoritative for works of this type because the authors examined backlogged material in museums in order to make this reference as complete as possible, which resulted in many taxonomic and nomenclatural changes. Absolutely essential for identification of Nearctic Chalcidoids.
