This book  collates what is known about the natural history of the Phoridae  world. It reviews eggs and oviposition, larval habits (including  saprophages, kleptoparasites, fungus breeders, plant feeders,  predator, parasitoids, parasites and enemies), pupae and their  enemies, development, adult habits (including feeding, special  associations, courtship, mating, phoretic mites and enemies) and  ecological aspects. There follows a new user-friendly and extensively  illustrated key to world genera and a review of the identification  literature for each of the 229 genera recognized. A review of methods  and an extensive bibliography complete the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e`\u003c\/strong\u003e ... well worth having a look between the  covers.\u003cstrong\u003e'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eThe Bulletin of the Amateur Entomologists' Society\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e`\u003c\/strong\u003eThis book is a tremendous achievement and represents virtually  our total knowledge of the family in all its aspects and indicates  where further work lies waiting.
