Quarto,195 pp.,colour photographs, fine copy in dustwrapper. The first guide to Borneo's dragonflies and the most comprehensively illustrated account of any large tropical dragonfly fauna yet published. Species are figured by photographs, generally taken in nature, and half-wing coloured drawings. Many are figured by both methods. About 60% of known species are shown, including almost all the distinctive and common species likely to be encountered by a casual visitor. Particular attention is given to the identification of the common but difficult medium-sized red dragonflies of which there are several. The text augments the illustrations and provides useful information on biology. Introductory chapters discuss structure and general biology, ecology and conservation, faunistics and biogeography and collecting techniques and photography. There is a complete and up to date checklist. Illustrated keys to families of adults give the reader an understanding of the structures used in classifying dragonflies and augment the usefulness of the illustrations of entire insects. Main larval forms are shown.

Zustand: New. x, 115, col photos, watercolour drawings, b/w figs, photos + line drawings. 255x185mm. HB. NEW. . The metalwing demoiselles of the eastern tropics include 14 species in two genera of calopterygid damselflies, distributed from Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the west, to southern China and New Guinea in the east. With their brilliant iridescent hindwings, the males of Neurobasis are among the most conspicuous inhabitants of clear forest streams throughout the region. M.A. Lieftinck was so impressed by their beauty he called them the 'Birds of Paradise' among Odonata. This book provides a taxonomic revision of the group (including a new species from the highlands of New Guinea). The book also includes a detailed historical account of the study of metalwings, beginning with the description of 'Libellula chinensis' by Linnaeus from a coloured drawing in a book on rare birds, published in 1750. This book summarises all published information on all aspects of metalwing biology, and includes many original observations on their ecology and behaviour, based on the authors' personal experiences.

Dragonflies are among the most beautiful of insects. Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore are home to more than 230 species (twice the number found in Europe). They include some of the most exquisite forms found anywhere in the World. They occur wherever there is suitable fresh water habitat. Many species frequent the borders of garden ponds in our largest cities, perching on lily pads with glowing red bodies in striking contrast to their green platform. Others haunt swift clear streams in virgin rainforest, while yet others are confined to blackwater swamps. A few occur deep in the forest understorey, far from streams or pools, where they breed in the water accumulated in cavities in tree trunks. This book figures 98.7% of species known from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore. For most, coloured drawings of the whole insect (omitting one pair of wings) are provided. Where necessary, coloured or monochrome drawings showing diagnostic features are also included. For some species, especially small Zygoptera (damselflies), only detailed structures are figured, as the general resemblance between close species is strong. A wide range of larval types is also figured. Kota Kinabalu. Natural History Publications (Borneo). 127 pp., num. color paintings, br. 8 [11.5 x 17 cm].
