Handbook for all Odonata from Sudan to Zimbabwe
ISBN: 9789491615061

Series "Studies in Afrotropical Zoology " n° 298
Few animal groups can represent the greatest (insects) and most threatened (freshwater) biodiversity on earth as well as dragonflies, perhaps the best-known and most colourful of all aquatic insects.
More than 500 species are illustrated with 1120 original drawings and over 360 colour photographs portraying 320 species. Identification keys to adult males of all species set a new standard for recognising 'the birdwatcher's insects' in Africa, detailed genus descriptions provide the most comprehensive account of their ecology and taxonomy so far, and all species have been furnished with a vernacular English name for the first time.
