Caddis flies are important indicators of environmental quality
in aquatic biotopes. This Atlas is the first book which enables the
identification of the entire European caddis fly fauna since
McLachlan s Revision and Synopsis of 1874-1880.
Identification of European caddis flies has proved difficult as
a result of the widely scattered literature, and has therefore been
a matter for specialists for more than hundred years.
This Second Edition of The Atlas of European Trichoptera
contains over 1400 species which means an increase of 25% since the
first edition of 1983.
Identification of specimens is one of the most difficult tasks
in Zoology. This volume presents information which will enable the
reader to develop his own opinions and will also help him reach
decisions concerning the accuracy of his own results.
The identification of specimens is undertaken by comparing the
detailed drawings of the most important characteristics of all
species known in Europe, the Mediterranean countries north of the
Sahara, the Canary islands, Madeira, the Azores islands and the
adjacent eastern regions including the Arab Peninsula and Iran. The
fauna of Turkistan and Siberia is partially included.
Explanations of the drawings are provided mainly by symbols
which enable the use of this book independent of language. This
concept has been proved successful in University courses.
The introductory chapters are in English, German and French.
Should a reader not understand any of these languages, the
translation of these few pages, including the pages of
explanations, will provide sufficient understanding for the entire
book."
