NZ Natural History

This book reviews the New Zealand Lithinini, with a general discussion of morphology and natural history. A key is provided to the eight species, representing three genera. The New Zealand fauna is wholly endemic, with affinities to Southern Hemisphere genera that occur in temperate Australia and Tasmania. Comprehensive distribution data are provided for all taxa. Host plant association data and information on immature stages are reviewed for all New Zealand genera and summarised.
