Splendid Ghost Moths and their Allies
Artist/Author: Simonsen, Thomas$195.00 Add to cartThe first reference to describe the 70 hepialine Hepialidae species in Australia.
The Hepialidae (Ghost Moths) are a family of often spectacular micro-moths. The Australian region is one of the hot spots for hepialid diversity and the fauna is divided into three groups: primitive Hepialidae with small, often overlooked species; oxycanine Hepialidae, containing the large and poorly known genus Oxycanus and its allies; and finally the hepialine Hepialidae, which span from stunning, green Splendid Ghost Moths in the genus Aenetus, to the enormous moths in the genera Zelotypia and Abantiades(which include some of the most impressive insects in the world), to smaller, drab pest species in the genus Oncopera.

A Guide to the Katydids of Australia
Artist/Author: Rentz, David.$50.00 Add to cartExplores this diverse group of insects from the family Tettigoniidae, which comprises more than 1000 species in Australia, including Norfolk and Lord Howe islands. It highlights their relationships to plants, humans and the environment, and includes colour photographs of many species.
Australian katydids are among the most commonly seen Australian insects. Most are spectacularly colourful and have highly photogenic adaptive shapes. They are masters of deception in imitating twigs, bark, leaves and stems and other insects. A few are brightly coloured and are distasteful to predators. They range in size from about 5 mm to well over 90 mm. They occur all over Australia in most habitats. Katydids continue to be research subjects in many university curricula. Students are studying their behaviour, acoustical physiology and ecology.
Australian katydids are organised in a single family, the Tettigoniidae. This family comprises about 2000 species in Australia. The family is conveniently divided into very recognisable subfamilies which are separated into tribes. These are all very recognisable units and are a natural way to organise a book.
