SYMPOSIUM ON SCARABAEOIDEA

[STEVEN CHOWN]

                                          SCARABIOLOGY
   A SYMPOSIUM DEVOTED TO THE BIOLOGY OF THE SCARABAEOIDEA


Since the Mesozoic, the Scarabaeoidea has radiated to become one of
the most diverse families in the Coleoptera. Its members exhibit a
wide array of life history styles and a great diversity of form.
Knowledge of this insect superfamily has progressed rapidly since the
remarkable, pioneering studies of naturalists such as Fabre and
others. Therefore it seems timely and appropriate that our knowledge
of this group be reviewed.
