The coenosus group is the most speciose clade of Histerini in the Americas. The author provides a comprehensive revision of these species, including keys for identification, complete distributional data, illustrations of diagnostic characters and a detailed phylogenetic analysis.

Discusses thirty species considered monophyletic and congeneric with Macrocneme maja (F.). This title describes fourteen species from South America. It summarizes biological information, and discusses and illustrates patterns of geographical distribution.

The subfamily Rileyinae (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) is redefined to contain 6 genera and 69 species for which keys are provided. This book includes tables detailing host utilization for Eurytomidae (genera), Rileyinae (species), and confirmed/suspected plant associations for Rileyinae.

California has one of the world's most diverse chrysidid wasp faunas. These are large, brightly metallic-colored parasitoids of sphecoid wasps and bees. This study reviews the species and genera of Chrysididae in California, maps their overall distributions, and gives keys to California genera and species.

Presents a forum for scholarly exchange about the status of Mayfly and Stonefly science. This title contains a chapter reflecting on the quality of mayflies as good indicators of global warming and the quality of streams and lakes. It explores topics of Scale and Hierarchy and the Ecology of Plecoptera.

The modified mouthparts group is perhaps the largest of the four major Hawaiian Drosophila clades. This study reviews unplaced species and the ceratostoma, freycinetiae, semifuscata, and setiger subgroups.

The ant fauna of the Fijian archipelago is a diverse assemblage of endemic radiations, pan-Pacific species, and exotics introduced from around the world. The Ants of Fiji describes the entire Fijian ant fauna, and includes the results of a recently completed archipelago-wide biodiversity inventory. A total of 187 ant species representing 43 genera are recognized here with an illustrated key to genera, synopses of each species, keys to species of all genera, and a species list. The work is heavily illustrated with specimen images, distribution maps, and habitat elevation charts.

Examines relationships within the Chrysoxena group of the tortricid tribe Euliini. This title defines 54 species among six genera: Chrysoxena Meyrick; Vulpoxena Brown; Thoridia Brown; Dorithia Powell; Cuproxena Powell and Brown; and, Bidorpitia Brown.

A study that provides an original key to species, diagnoses, descriptions, distributions, and illustrations along with a compilation of biological information for these species.

Revises the genus Anopina of the leafroller family, Tortricidae (Lepidoptera). This title describes sixty-two species and provides a hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships of the species, proposes a classification, and includes illustrations of adults, larvae, and male and female genitalia.

Revises the Neotropical ant genus Linepithema at the species level. This work provides taxonomic keys, diagnoses, illustrations, and discussions of the biology, distribution, natural history, and taxonomy. It recognizes nineteen species following extensive synonymy, including six new species.

Ufens is known to parasitize primarily hemipteran eggs and is a cosmopolitan genus most common in temperate and semi-arid regions such as the southwestern United States and Australia. This book presents a worldwide revision of the wasp genus Ufens Girault, 1911 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae: Oligositinae).
