Volume 7 of the Palaearctic Catalogue is essential for any worker on weevils and it is to be hoped that the completion of the Curculionoidea will be soon accomplished. [...] Great credit is due to [the editors of the series] for their remarkable achievement in sustaining such a valuable and essential series. M.G. MORRIS, Dorchester, Dorset, U.K., in: Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, September-December 2012, p.185-186
