A Guide to the Hawkmoths of the Serra dos Orgaos, South-eastern Brazil
Alan Martin, Alexandre Soares and Jorge Bizarro
ISBN-13: 9780956829108
£15.00 including UK delivery
The first comprehensive guide to all the 110 species of sphingids that have been recorded in the Serra dos Órgãos region. For each species there is a detailed text which includes taxonomic nomenclature, distribution and flight times, along with key identification features. There are 37 colour plates illustrating all the species from above and below for males and females, and there are over 120 colour photos showing many of the hawkmoths in their natural resting postures.
Using these illustrations, photos and text any keen observer, with no prior knowledge, should be able to readily identify any of the species described. Many of the species covered have wide distributions across the neotropics, and this book should therefore appeal not only to those interested in the hawkmoths of Brazil, but to a much wider audience.
