Hymenoptera - Cynipoidea, Key to families and subfamilies and Cynipine (including galls)
The work presents three sets of dichotomous keys:
1. Key to families and subfamilies of Cynpoidea (p7)
2. Keys to genera and species of subfamily Cynipinae (p9)
3. Keys to galls of Cynipinae (p59) largely using (mainly) genus of host plant.
The species accounts are very brief. It is well illustrated with line drawings of taxonomic features, a few stiple drawings of whole insects and many line drawings of galls.

Insects should be pinned and set or in sprit. Galls may be fresh, dried, in spirit or even photographs although the number of larvae is often needed; the host should be known, at least to genus. Some species need to be reared through. |
