Adam Slipinski did his PhD and DSc in Poland where
he worked for 20 years at the Museum and Institute of Zoology of
the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw and held a joint appointment
as the professor of biology at the University of Zielona Gora
teaching entomology and environmental biology.
Hermes Escalona earned his PhD in Entomology from
the Universidad Central de Venezuela in 2012. He is interested in
systematics, evolution, and historical biogeography of Coleoptera,
with a current focus on Longhorns beetles (Cerambycidae) and small
beetle families within Cucujiformia.
"In this first volume of CSIRO's ambitious effort to produce a definitive reference to the longhorn beetles of Australia, Slipinski (Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO) and Escalona (Central Univ. of Venezuela; CSIRO) introduce the family Cerambycidae, one of the largest families of Australian beetles, and provide a detailed account of the subfamily Lamiinae (so-called flat-faced longhorns). The text is profusely illustrated with high-quality photographs of adults, larvae, and pupae, including scanning electron micrographs and macrophotographs of cleared and dissected specimens. This book will be of enormous value to graduate students in entomology and academic/museum staff working with longhorn beetles. Advanced undergraduates studying entomology may find material of interest for their research projects. Summing Up: Recommended."-- "Choice" (9/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
