This is a new copy, but there has been a very slight bumping of the corners in transit. [The first volume of A Taxonomic Guide to the Stick Insects of Borneo stunned the entomological world with its extensive photographs and comprehensive identification keys. Volume II continues in this tradition to open new trails to a better understanding of Bornean stick insect fauna. This time, the author concentrates his efforts on the stick insects of Mount Trusmadi, the second highest mountain in Borneo, with her peak at 2642 m asl. Besides Trusmadi, the author also studied, the drawers of the entomological collections of Kinabalu Park and Forest Research Centre Sepilok. Volume II lists 373 Bornean species or subspecies from 92 genera, with descriptions of 4 new genera, 1 genus new to Borneo, 37 new species, 4 new name combinations, 3 new synonyms; 2 wrong synonyms and 9 descriptions of the previously unknown sex of known species. Together these two volumes will have described 19 new genera with 88 new species. This volume is an indispensable reference to anyone interested in the insect fauna of Borneo; no matter if it's just for admiring the splendid photographs or trying to identify an insect in the forest or most essentially for the person working through a taxonomic problem.].

Zustand: New. 250, col photos. . HB. NEW. . This guide is the 12th book on stick and leaf insects authored by the writer. Over the past 30 years, this and earlier works, alongside articles and papers by other researchers, have redefined and greatly expanded our understanding of stick insect fauna, not only in Borneo but also of related species across Southeast Asia. However, the wealth of new insights brought by these publications has resulted in significant taxonomic changes - new combinations, synonyms, and corrections to previously misidentified species. These updates have sometimes made it challenging for the average 'person in the forest' to determine the latest or correct name for the insect in their hands.This book aims to address that challenge by consolidating the various taxonomic changes related to Bornean stick insects into one accessible, up-to-date volume. It encompasses almost all scientifically named stick and leaf insects from Borneo, with only a few exceptions where no extant specimen or photograph is currently available.As the most comprehensive photographic guide to Bornean stick and leaf insects, this guidebook will appeal to anyone interested in learning about these fascinating creatures or identifying them. Organised by family, it allows readers to compare photographs with specimens at hand, enabling quick and accurate identification to the species level. Any species not featured in this guide is very likely a new species yet to be described by science. [9789838122207].
