In his preface to early editions of this book, the late Dr. A. D.
Imms said that he intended it to be an elementary account of
entomology as a branch of general biology. He had especiaHy in mind
the needs of university students of zoology and agriculture, as weH
as those intending later to specialize in entomology, and he
suggested that the book might also interest teachers of advanced
biology in schools. These general aims and the balance between the
different aspects of the subject have changed linIe in this and in
our previous revision. We have, however, tried to bring the present
edition up to date on the lines of our revised tenth edition of
Imms' General Textbook 0/ Entomology, published in 1977. The text
has been entirely re-set and eleven illustrations have been
replaced by new figures. The same orders of insects are recognized
as in the last edition, but the sequence in which the Endopterygote
groups appear has been changed to reflect more accurately their
probable evolutionary relationships. Many small changes and some
addi tions have been made in the physiological sections, the
chapter on the origin and phylogeny of insects has been rewritten,
and a new bibliography provides a selection of modern references
for the in tending specialist. It has been our object to make these
alterations without materially increasing the length of the book or
its level of difficulty."
