This is the second of a three volume series revising the entire Australian fauna of Oecophorinae and includes three major groups of genera – the Chezala Walker, Philobota Meyrick and Eulechria Meyrick groups. This revision covers 84 genera, comprising 854 named, and approximately 800 unnamed species with descriptions of male and female genitalia, morphology and detailed information on distribution, biology and host plant associations.
"Consistent with other volumes of this series, the overall production and presentation are exceptional... CSIRO and Ian Common are to be congratulated on another outstanding contribution to the knowledge of the Lepidoptera of Australia." John W. Brown, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, USDA c/o National Museum of Natural History, Washington DC (Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society Volume 52 No. 3, 1998)
"... it is an indispensable standard work for all those interested in the family Oecophoridae, or those working on Australian Microlepidoptera."
