Note(s) : True bugs (Heteroptera) are a diverse and complex group of plant-feeding and predatory
insects important to food production, human health, the global economy and the environment.
Within the nearly 43,000 species described around the world, Neotropical true bugs
are particularly diverse, and much remains to be discovered about their biology and
relations with other species. Inspired by the need for a comprehensive assessment,
True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics is the most complete and thorough review
ever published. Experts in each of the seven infraorders have drawn together the scattered
literature to provide detailed treatments of each major taxon. The most common and
important species as well as select lesser known species in each major family are
covered, highlighting morphology, classification, biology and ecology. The numerous
color illustrations highlight key species and their adaptations, and importance to
basic and applied sciences is discussed. Each chapter is based on an up-to-date review
of the literature, and with a bibliography of more than 3,000 references, readers
are presented with an unprecedented and vital and timely account of the true bugs
of the Neotropical Region
