Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a deep dive into the taxonomy of Philippine Microlepidoptera, moths of the 'Tortricinae' subfamily. It is the first book to attempt to comprehensively describe the remarkable diversity of this group in the Philippines and is based on a 1961-1964 study project that included exploration, collection, dissection, and imaging. This work is a critical step forward in understanding the Philippine Microlepidoptera fauna, which is of particular interest due to the country's unique geography, its role as a land bridge, and the evolutionary history of the local species. Guided by the concept that understanding the diversity and distribution of a particular fauna is key to understanding global diversity, the author traces zoogeographic history, delves into classification methodology, and provides detailed reviews of each species, including illustrations of genitalia and wings to support descriptions. The book culminates in a survey of 291 species, 5 subspecies and 1 forma, of which 146 species, 5 subspecies and 1 forma are described as new. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
