geographical range are given and, where known, details of habitat

numerous other taxonomic changes. A checklist of all species summarises
the fauna.

In an introductory section the family-group names applied within the
subfamily are listed and reviewed. A commentary on the higher
classification is presented, with reviews of the host- plant
specialisations, ecology and geography of the group.
In the main text all except three genera are assigned to tribes, and both
these tribes and their constituent genera are defined as far as possible
on the basis of apomorphic (derived) characters.
