and 59 Gastropoda. The Annelida were recorded with 6 Polychaeta, 70 Oligochaeta and 33 Hirudinida. The
Crustacea are included with 11 examples of Branchiopoda, Mysidacea, Amphipoda, Isopoda and few
Decapoda crabs. 19 new invertebrate species are described. A zoogeographical analysis of the Gangetic

A total of 496 localities has been investigated thoroughly in 20 of the 33 administrative regions of China in the last decade. Supplementary material from Taiwan and additional Chinese administrative regions became available through numerous private collections. Almost 200 new species (and subspecies), and nine new genera (and subgenera) of aquatic and riparian Coleoptera are described from China and neighbouring areas in the three volumes of WATER BEETLES OF CHINA. On more than 1300 pages numerous taxonomic revisions and keys are published by 50 (!) authors from 18 countries. The three books are richly illustrated with many colour plates showing more than 80 top quality habitus paintings (mostly by the famous artist W. Zelenka), more than 80 habitat photographs, and dozens of distribution maps. |
