About this book

Language: French

This book follows the format of Coléoptères de l’Île de La Réunion, published by Orphie Editions in 2016. This book contains a detailed summary of all that is known about the twenty-four ladybug species currently known from Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean, and even, in many respects, everything known about ladybugs in general. Just before the species monographs, a practical key makes it easy to identify these species, and richly illustrated entries with photographs, maps or graphs, usually covering one page or more, contain a wealth of information. Written by four entomologists who are among the best specialists in ladybugs and Réunion Island wildlife, and supported by local institutions, this book will certainly be of great service not only to entomologists, but also to all aaturalists who will visit this jewel in the Indian Ocean, or simply want to document its widllife. It should be noted that, even in Europe, the works on Coccinellidae are few and often old, which only enhances the value of this book.

Summary in French:
Cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans le droit fil des Coléoptères de l’Île de La Réunion, véritable monument lui aussi paru aux Editions Orphie (2016), et qui fera certainement date. Le lecteur trouvera dans le présent travail une synthèse détaillée de tout ce que l’on sait sur les vingt-quatre espèces de Coccinelles actuellement connues de la Réunion, et même, sur beaucoup de points, en ce qui concerne les Coccinelles en général. Juste avant les monographies spécifiques, une clé pratique permet de déterminer aisément ces espèces, et les monographies richement illustrées de photographies, de cartes ou de graphiques, couvrant le plus souvent une page ou même plus, sont une mine de renseignements. Rédigé par quatre entomologistes qui comptent parmi les meilleurs spécialistes des Coccinelles et/ou de la faune réunionnaise, soutenus par les institutions locales, ce livre rendra certainement de très grands services non seulement aux Entomologistes, mais aussi aux Naturalistes en tout genre qui visiteront ce joyau de l’océan Indien, ou simplement voudront se documenter sur sa nature. Il est à noter que, même en Europe, les ouvrages sur les Coccinellides sont peu nombreux et souvent assez anciens, ce qui ne fait que rehausser la valeur de celui-ci.
