Gelechiidae II Peter Huemer

Microlepidoptera of Europe is the ideal series of books for identifying European micro-moths. Each volume is a systematic unit comprising about 100-250 species. This usually refers to a family or subfamily, but it can also be a single large genus, or a group of smaller families. The geographical area covered includes Europe, west of the former U. S. S. R., and the Baltic countries. Various volumes in the series may also include the adjacent parts of the western Palaearctic Region, i. e. Macaronesia, North Africa, Cyprus, Turkey, as well as Transcaucasia. Microlepidoptera of Europe provides color illustrations of the adults of all species. Sexual dimorphism and extensive polymorphism are also illustrated. The series has had very fine reviews in European entomological journals.
