The eight-volume monograph, Australian Weevils, is an outstanding addition to the world's entomological literature. It provides, for the first time, a comprehensive account of Australian weevils, including a complete catalogue of all the recorded species annotated with information on host plants, distributions, economic importance and life histories. The volumes contain approximately 10 000 illustrations (more than 5 000 in colour), together with a bibliography listing more than 3 000 publications, a chapter on Nemonychidae by G Kuschel in Volume I and a profusely illustrated chapter on larvae and pupae by B May in Volume II.
"This work will represent the largest-ever treatise of the most diverse group of beetles, and will be the most profusely illustrated work ever published on weevils . . . a reference work for not only coleopterists but all entomological institutions and libraries."
The Coleopterists Bulletin
" Dr Zimmerman never forgets that the study of Curculionoidea is a human activity; he writes in the manner of a cultured human being . . . such qualities are too rarely seen in major works of modern scientific specialists of any variety, and makes for unusual pleasure in reading this one."
RA Crowson, Systematic Entomology
