`Benefits to the student of Trichoptera systematics are ready access to figures from papers that are now numerous and sometimes difficult to obtain, and a very handy working manual of figures, accessed using the indexes to general and species found at the back of the book. ...it is an especially important work in the field, and is a milestone in Trichoptera systematics.'
