Dictionary for Entomology - Tim Williams - Bog

With over 15,800 entries, this dictionary is the most comprehensive
reference work of its kind available today. It fulfills the need for an
entomology work that combines the concise presentation of a
dictionary, a brief etymology for each term, and the inclusion of
the general terms one would meet during an entomology course.
Entomology is not studied in isolation, therefore the more common
terms from the fields of Anatomy, Animal Behavior, Ecology,
Embryology, Endocrinology, Evolution, Genetics, Physiology,
Taxonomy and Zoogeography, as well as many terms covering
sizes, shapes, colors, forms and textures have been included. There
is a comprehensive taxonomic coverage of every family and many
species that are of particular interest. Appendix 1 gives an outline
classification of the subphylum Hexapoda and an alphabetical list of
common taxa. Appendix 2 lists Biogeographical/Zoogeographical
Regions. Appendix 3 provides an Outline of Geological Time.
Appendix 4 presents technical terms for most colors.
This dictionary is the standard reference and will be invaluable
to anyone with an interest in entomology.
