131 p., 4 color plates (photographs of adult moths), 32 figs. A greatly revised and expanded version of the author's 1967 doctoral dissertation, treating all North American "green" geometrid moths, with several new taxonomic changes. This fascicle, the last to be illustrated by the color photography of Richard B. Dominick, is a memorial to him, the driving force behind the "MONA" series, with an obituary and photo of him by his widow, Tatiana Dominick.

Skuas (and jaegers) are a fascinating and popular group of seabirds that make up a subfamily of just seven species.The individual plumage variation in some species is enormous, creating one of the most fascinating challenges in modern field identification. This is the first complete identification guide to the skuas of the world. It is designed to enable species identification and correct aging, and the information presented is based on years of study in the field, detailed examination of photographs and museum skins, and extensive research of the relevant literature.The comprehensive text is accompanied by twelve exquisite color plates by Hans Larsson, illustrating a wide range of plumages. In addition, there are eight pages of color photographs and numerous black and white photographs and drawings that show key identification features. With this book, the seabird enthusiast should at last be able to identify almost every skua encountered, whether on shore or at sea.

The language of the Tohono O'odham (formerly known as Papago) and Pima Indians is an important subfamily of Uto-Aztecan spoken by some 14,000 people in southern Arizona and northern Sonora. This dictionary is a useful tool for native speakers, linguists, and any outsiders working among those peoples. The second edition has been expanded to more than 5,000 entries and enhanced by a more accessible format. It includes full definitions of all lexical items; taxonomic classification of plants and animals; restrictive labels; a pronunciation guide; an etymology of loan words; and examples of usage for affixes, idioms, combining forms, and other items peculiar to the Tohona O'odham-Pima language. Appendixes contain information on phonology, kinship and cultural terms, the numbering system, time, and the calendar. Maps and charts define the locations of place names, reservations, and the complete language family.

Because the nature of grass structures is generally so different from that of other flowering plants, a special terminology is applied to them. Mohlenbrock cites these terms, with descriptions that will make identification of unknown specimens possible. His division of the grass family into subfamilies and tribes is a major depar­ture from the sequence followed in most flora. Synonyms, with complete author citation, which have been applied to spe­cies in the northeastern United States are given under each species. In addition, each species of grass is pro­vided with a description, a distribution map, a discussion of its habitat and varia­bility, and a full-page drawing showing diagnostic characters.

This multi authored identification manual presents illustrated keys to the 34 subfamilies and 404 genera of the family Braconidae from the New World. Information about all New World genera described up to 1994 is included which represents an expanded and updated version of the information published in the 1987 Nearctic manual by Marsh, et. al. The manual consists of 37 chapters by world authorities plus an index to generic names including subgenera and synonyms, and an appendix listing all the New World genera alphabetically by subfamily. The first chapter provides an introduction including a review of braconid biology, literature, classification, biogeography, collection and curation, and a discussion of the manual format. The second chapter is an extensive illustrated discussion of braconid morphology and terminologies used in the keys. The third chapter is a fully illustrated key to the New World subfamilies of the Braconidae. The New World subfamilies are then presented separately in the remaining 34 chapters. For each, a key to the New World genera is included. Each of these keys is annotated to include estimated number of species, distribution, hosts, and critical references for each genus. Each subfamily chapter is extensively illustrated and the entire manual contains over 750 line drawings and scanning electron micrographs. This is the second edition of the sold out book and it contains separate notes on updates to all braconid subfamilies.

This volume treats the microscopic anatomy of vegetative organs of two monocotyledonous flowering plant families. Observations are included for Acorus, sole genus of Acoraceae, and nearly all of the 106 genera of the family Araceae, now including the duckweeds as the subfamily Lemnoideae. The introduction reviews all aspects of morphology and anatomy of the families and a variety of other topics including biogeography, the paleobotanical record, economic uses, chemistry and toxic properties. Highlights of the vegetative anatomical literature are reviewed from about 1000 references included in the bibliography. A chapter illustrated by photomicrographic figures defines the characters, character states and their text codes. Next follows the heart of the work, parallel anatomical descriptions of the genera. They are accompanied by 855 light photomicrographic figures, arranged in 115 plates that illustrate nearly every genus. Following each tribal or generic treatment is a list of specimens examined and taxonomic notes highlighting useful comparisons. Each treatment concludes with references to anatomical works treating that genus, and selected additional references to non-anatomical literature. The order of generic treatments of Araceae is based on a revised classification that harmonizes the anatomical data with current findings from molecular genetics. Other recent family infrastructural schemes are presented for comparison There is a discussion of evolutionary trends and systematics, and a summary of current conclusions regarding the appropriate ordinal position of the family. Following the anatomical presentation are lists of genera with certain diagnostic features. As with the generic descriptions, the lists are comprehensive for leaf and petiole materials and less so for stem and root tissues.

Volume 7 of TERRALOG portrays the Agamid Lizards of Southern Asia in two parts. This 2nd part covers the subfamily Leiolepidinae, completes the subfamily Draconinae, the first part of which has been illustrated in TERRALOG 7a, and depicts also the monotypic genus Physignathus. The present treatise contains color photographs of several species that have never before been pictured in color, and most are depicted in a manner to outline their sexual dichromatism. Photographs of juveniles, various natural habitats, as well as some as of yet un-described species complement this photographic collection. No other book provides distribution maps for all species of the respective region. A symbol-based summary of the individual biological requirements is meant to provide a guideline for the husbandry and propagation of the individual species. Its wealth of over 530 color photographs makes TERRALOG the photographic reference for scientists, herpeto-culturists, dealers and hobbyists. At the same time, it is a unique synopsis that enables every lover of nature to marvel at the colorful splendor and variability of Asian Agamids in a manner second to none. 168 pages, hardcover.
