Summary:

This reprint version of Leaf-mining Insects provides a thorough
introduction to the study of leaf-mining insects, a natural history
of described species, lists of the leaf-miners and their host food
plants and a comprehensive list of the taxonomic and life history
literature to that time. Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths),
Coleoptera (beetles), Diptera (true flies), and Hymenoptera (bees and
wasps) are insect orders that contain leaf-mining species in the
larval form and drawings of their morphology, food plants and leaf
mine construction are included. Included is a discussion of
leaf-miners of economic importance: Pegomyia hyoscyami (beet
leaf-miner), Phthorimaea operculella (tobacco split-worm and
Phytomyza chrysanthemi (chrsyanthemum miner), Phyllotoma aceris
(maple saw-fly leaf miner). Leaf-mining Insects remains a
comprehensive and valuable guide for students, ecologists and
entomologists, and provides an overview of the life cycle and ecology
of this interesting and often agriculturally important group.
