Publisher's Synopsis
An interactive tool for identifying larval beetles from any part of the world to the family or subfamily level, and in some instance to tribe or genus. The package is also an information retrieval system for the 390 taxa included in the database. These taxa are coded for 174 characters, which include a short statement on geographic distribution, notes on general biology (habitat, feeding habits, etc), alternate group name (synonymy), taxon images with their accompanying specimen data and acknowledgements, and a short list of references pertaining to the particular taxon. This updated package includes corrections to data, a new version of Intkey software - with numerous enhancements and operating under Microsoft Windows - and natural-language descriptions of the taxa as HTML and Microsoft Word files.
