Well, it's the ONLY major reference on the genus. So for what it's
worth, it's the best... damning with faint praise & all that. But
heck, maybe others will see patterns where I can't.

The new price was pretty low, I think from memory about $25. I was
sent a copy by a friend, and apart from one or two reasonably
distinctive species, I found the rest indecipherable.
