The Chrysomelidae or leaf beetles is one of the largest families of beetles (Coleoptera) with over 40,000 species distributed throughout the world. Their biology and host-plants are almost as complex as the number of species and genera. This book explores the classification, general biology and host-plants of the various subfamilies and the genera which have biological and ecological data recorded from them. This book brings together biological data on a large beetle family on a world basis. A large and useful reference list is included as well as illustrations of 40 different species. Both insects and plants are fully indexed.
