It is important to conserve these insects for our survival and for this the diversity of insect species inhabiting the different ecosystems of our country must be known. The cornerstone to studies of any kind of organismal diversity is their taxonomic identity. Even after over two and half centuries of studies, so little is known of the insect wealth of our country. It has contributions from taxonomists who have been studying Indian insects for long, this book offers up to date information on many important groups of Indian insects seeking to fill the lacuna of a long felt need for a comprehensive work on the taxonomy of Indian insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalient features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an up-to-date taxonomy of major insect groups of India \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents identification keys with illustrations of several important groups of Indian insects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives a new insight into why insects are so abundant\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses fundamental questions in mechanoreception and cross kingdom interactions using insects as model systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian Insects: Diversity and Science is a \u003ci\u003efestschrift\u003c\/i\u003e to Professor C.
