Part 1. Basic tools and general techniques. 1. Equipment and collection methods ; 2. Agents for killing and preserving ; 3. Storage of specimens -- Part 2. Classification of insects and mites. 4. Classification of insects and mites ; 5. Synopsis of insect orders ; 6. Descriptions of hexapod orders -- Summary -- Appendix I: Liquid preservation formulas -- Appendix II: Guidelines for mounting small and soft-bodied specimens (Systematic Entomology Laboratory) -- Appendix III: Directoy state extension service directors and administrators, March 2019 -- Appendix IV: Submitting specimens for identification to Systematic Entomology Laboratory Communication & Taxonomic Services Unit -- Glossary.
Summary: Providing detailed taxonomic keys to insects and related arthropods, giving recent classification changes to various insect taxa, along with updated preservation materials and techniques for molecular and genomic studies, this text includes methods of rearing, storing and shipping specimens, along with a supporting glossary. New sections provide suggestions on how insects and other arthropods can be used within, and outside, the formal classroom and examine currently accepted procedures for collecting insects at crime scenes. The book is a necessary reference for entomology professionals and researchers who seek the most updated taxonomy and techniques for collection and preservation. It will serve as a valuable resource for entomology students and professionals who need illustrative and detailed information for easy arthropod identification.-- Source other than the Library of Congress.
