| Synopsis: |
This two-part compact edition includes an appendix of addenda and corrigenda.The two text volumes of the 1987 three-volume work have been combined here in Part 1. The preliminary chapters, providing a general introduction to arachnology, include morphology and behaviour, classification and nomenclature, and a key to the families. These are followed by short descriptions of all the British species in the condensed text, written principally to help their identification, although information on habitat and distribution is also included. Especially significant are the many comparative line drawings of critical features, principally genitalia but also carapaces and other structures, by which the species may be determined.The author has added an appendix which includes descriptions and text figures of seven species new to Britain since 1987, and a few amendments to the original text, necessitated by subsequent research and nomenclatural changes.All but a few of the colour plates are contained in Part 2, so that reference can be made to them whilst the text and line drawings in Part 1 are being studied. A total of 307 species (in some cases both sexes), representative of all that are found in Britain and Ireland, are illustrated in full colour, greatly enlarged to aid identification. |
