Detailed descriptions of the insect orders and spider families, and notes on their density and ecological roles in Kanha and Central India as a whole are given. Also included is an extensive bibliography of previously published works on insects and spiders of central India. Uniquely, the book features the first record of tarantulas in Madhya Pradesh; and of two rare dragonfly species. N° de réf. du vendeur 119752
