Les Chiasognathinae des Andes

• Description

For the naturalist and the traveller, the American Andes are one of the richest parts of the world from a faunistic, geological and botanical point of view. F. Chalumeau and B. Brochier have devoted some thirteen years to studying a difficult and predominantly Andean subfamily of Coleoptera, consisting of thirty-three representatives in South America, two in Australia, and a fossil one in Europe.

This book aims to provide a practical tool for the determination of all the surveyed species within an accurate taxonomical framework and to examine the biogeography of the group from a worldwide perspective.
