Dear all
Why all the excitement about a new book on Xenophoridae, the excellent 125 page
publication by Ponder and Cooper in 1983 with its excellent illustrations (31
plates), 10 distribution charts and comprehesive text makes one wonder what
else was left to write about.
This publication was done through the Australian Museum Sydney and to my
knowledge is still available.
