Abstract

It has been a year since the second volume of the UAE Insect Project's Arthropod Fauna of the United Arab Emirates was published, and several more members of the team of over 160 scientists from 27 countries have visited the UAE. This has provided several of the chapters in the third volume of this series, which contains contributions from 51 taxonomists from 20 countries, including South Africa. Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Tahoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the leadership of the editor, the series is settling down to a very high standard, especially in terms of its lavish illustrations, exquisite production and, of course, taxonomic rigour.
