The Lepidoptera Families and Associated Orders of British Columbia

2007 - 189 pp. (черно-белый вариант, с иллюстрациями) This final contribution to the families of insects in British Columbia, considers the remaining Orders of the Endopterygota. Those considered do not form a single natural group within the currently recognized phylogenetic classification of the extant insects (Kristensen 1991). However, included are the Section Neuropterida (= Neuropteroid Orders) namely the Orders Megaloptera (dobsonflies and alderflies), Raphidioptera (snakeflies), Neuroptera (lacewings and allies) and part of the Section Mecopterida (= Panorpoid Orders), namely the Orders Mecoptera (scorpionflies), Siphonaptera (fleas) and Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). We also include the Order Strepsiptera (stylops), the affinities of which remain enigmatic.
