Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Text in English. 264 pp. Spine slightly faded. Couple small scratches on back cover. Pages are clean. Pug moths (Geometridae: Eupithecia, Chloroclystis, Pasiphila and Gymnoscelis) are probably the most difficult of the macrolepidoptera to identify. The authors of this book describe in great detail the biology and characters of all stages of the 52 species from Britain and Ireland, with individual maps showing their known distribution on a vice-country basis and copious illustrations. Particular emphasis is placed on the identification of confusible species with detailed black-and-white drawings of the wing-patterns, genitalia and main diagnostic features of the adults, and also of the larvae. In addition, there are three sets of colour plates depicting the adults first in taxonomic order; secondly with similar species grouped together for easier comparison; and thirdly in their natural postures in a series of 60 superb colour photographs.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This group of geometrid moths (in the genera Eupithecia, Chloroclystis, Pasiphila and Gymnoscelis) comprises perhaps the most difficult of the macrolepidoptera to identify with confidence, and knowledge of them is consequently uneven. In this long-awaited, new and extensively illustrated work, the authors describe the characters and biology of all stages of the 52 species from Britain and Ireland, with individual maps showing their known distribution on a vice-county basis. Particular emphasis is placed on the identification of confusible species and work individuals. The wing-patterns are illustrated in detailed black-and-white drawings to show the main diagnostic features, as are the larvae and genitalia of every species. The adults are depicted in three sets of colour plates: two of set specimens, first, in their systematic order and then with similar species grouped together for easier comparison; the third of moths in their natural postures in a series of 60 superb colour photographs. The introductory chapters contain details of 'How to use this book'; and provide an 'Historical review of the species'; there is also a chapter on 'Breeding and rearing pugs'. Appendixes cover 'Foodplants and associated larvae'; a Table of Phenology; and a Glossary. The book concludes with a comprehensive Bibliography, and a full Index including synonymies.
