Recent changes in nomenclature are discussed in detail as well as gaps in current knowledge and probable pitfalls concerning the reliable identification of all taxa known so far from the region. Keys are provided for genera and introductory chapters characterize every family and genus.

MEDIA REVIEWS
The Ephemeroptera suffer from a complex taxonomy, [through which] this book steers a sensible course [...] and the authors discuss the various controversial opinions where appropriate. [F]or the amount of information consolidated in this single volume it actually represents good value for money. For the specialist or serious student of the group this is an essential work; in short it is a remarkable and ground-breaking achievement.
PETER C. BARNARD, Gillingham, Dorset, U.K., in: Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, September-December 2012, p.205
This is an important book on mayflies and a 'must have' for anyone interested in ... Ephemeroptera.
