Microlepidoptera of Europe: Gelechiidae II (Gelechiinae: Gnorimoschemini)

Only a few specialists deal with the grossly neglected family of micromoths, which boasts over 4,700 described species and probably thousands of unnamed ones. Here the sparse published literature is compiled into an identification key and reference on 211 species that have been found (in two cases, maybe found) in Europe, among them 15 new species. Among the topics and sections are morphology and systematics of Gnorimoschemini, bionomics, a key to the genera, a systematic treatment of the genera and species in Europe, a distribution catalogue, color plates, and illustrations of male and female genitalia. Indexes are provided to entomological genus-group names, species-group names, and plant names. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
