Oecophorine Genera of Australia II

This is the second of a three volume series revising the entire Australian fauna of Oecophorinae and includes three major groups of genera – the Chezala Walker, Philobota Meyrick and Eulechria Meyrick groups. This revision covers 84 genera, comprising 854 named, and approximately 800 unnamed species with descriptions of male and female genitalia, morphology and detailed information on distribution, biology and host plant associations.
