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.
