Introductory chapters present valuable information about cerambycid classification and natural history. The first chapter contains diagnoses and keys to both larvae and adults of all subfamilies, accompanied with line drawings and\/or black-and-white photographs of important characters. Chapters 2 and 4 draw from the global literature to give readers a thorough overview of cerambycid life history and reproductive biology—not an easy task for a family of insects with more than 36,000 species. Later chapters focus on application, featuring excellent contributions from Millar and Hanks (Chapter 5) on pheromones, from Keena (Chapter 7) on laboratory rearing, and from Eyre and Haack (Chapter 13) on cerambycids as invasive species and regulations to prevent introduction of pest species. Each of these chapters stands out for high \"citability.\" Some chapters are written more as encyclopedia entries rather than narrative reviews, making those chapters useful references for individual taxa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, this book provides an excellent overview of the biology and economic impact of cerambycid beetles.
