Synopsis

Explore the Marquesan Insects—II is a detailed scientific catalog from the Bernice P.

Bishop Museum that documents insect life in the Marquesas Islands. This edition presents taxonomic notes, species descriptions, and new genus and species findings, based on field collections and light-trap records from multiple islands.

This volume advances understanding of Marquesan dipterans and microarthropods, offering keys to genera and species, comparisons to related forms from other regions, and observations on distribution and habitat. It also situates the Marquesas within broader Pacific entomology, highlighting endemic groups and the diversity of life found on forests, ferns, and coastal margins.
  • Taxonomic keys and descriptions for several genera and species, including newly identified forms.
  • Illustrative figures and notes on morphology, bristle patterns, and wing venation to aid identification.
  • Field observations from multiple islands, with specimen data from light traps and habitat notes.
  • Context for how Marquesan insects relate to broader Pacific groups and biogeography.
Ideal for readers of taxonomic monographs, museum catalogs, and researchers studying Pacific entomology or biodiversity documentation.
