specialists in the genus. These authors, Georges Ledoux and Philippe Roux present a complete revision of the group, treating in total 384 species and 158 subspecies. They describe 4 new subgenera, 5 new species and 3 new subspecies. The keys to identification use detailed drawings and a series of colour plates.

Lyon Museum (Rhone county) has been involved in the production of this work, in collaboration with the Linnaean Society of Lyon, which will undertake its’ distribution.
