Review:
"This volume is of good format and printing quality. It contains 38 superb color plates and colored cladistic diagrams. The book is indispensible for the specialist but also for those working at museums, universities and agriculture institutes, who are interested in the beetles that affect crops." Pierre Jolivet.
"This edited collective book has 20 contributions from 38 authors from all over the world. The contributions present many of the currents trends of research on Chrysomelidae, providing rich information on every field touched. It would be a valuable addition to the libraries of institutions/individuals, engaged in study of and investigations on leaf beetles."
