This is a landmark publication. . . . This book is a labour of love for which the authors must be congratulated and thanked. Everyone interested in black flies, will need access to this mine of information, and any entomologists working on the Simuliidae with the North American continent should certainly buy it, as it will become the standard work. Given the variety of topics covered and the importance of black flies, the book will also be a valuable resource for entomologists of all specialities. -Robert A. Cheke, British Journal of Entomology and Natural History

This is a fine, scholarly book, which is also readily affordable, and a 'must buy' for all self-respecting black fly specialists. -Parasitology
