As Garrison (California Department of Food and Architecture, US), Ellenreider (National Scientific and Research Council, Argentina), and Louton (Smithsonian Institution, US) note in the preface, taxonomic knowledge of Mexican, Central American, and South American dragonflies and damselflies has lagged behind that of their cousins up north and in Asia. They have therefore put together this illustrated key to 124 adult specimens of the suborder Anisoptera from the American neotropical regions to serve as an identification source for limnologists, ecologists, and other biologists. The keys contain detailed drawings of the biological structure of the specimens, illustrating wings, pterothoraxes, caudal appendages, heads, eyes, auricles, and other structures. Microscopic images are also sometimes included. The keys also provide information on the species' geographic distribution, diagnostic characters, and statuses of classification.

This is the most important Odonate book published in several years. -- T.W. Donnelly Argia 2006 A required reference for any serious student of faunistics and biogeography. -- Beth Orr Agrion 2006 A reference of the highest quality, this book reveals their striking beauty and complexity. It is a real monumental work on odonate taxonomy and identification, and indispensable for every one working with the Odonata of the Americas. A great book. -- Martin Schorr Odonatological Abstract Service 2007 As a superb reference work for 2 continents, written with much skill and profound command of the factual knowledge, the value of the book can be hardly exaggerated. Odonatological Abstracts 2007 The most significant contribution in decades. -- Robert Canning Florida Entomologist 2007 The authors have produced original keys that are richly illustrated... An outstanding volume that will be a long-standing contribution. -- John C. Abbott American Entomologist 2008 This is a landmark publication, and a must for all serious odonatologists and New World biodiversity specialists. -- Michael Samways Journal of Insect Conservation 2008

Winner of PROSE Award for Best Single Volume Reference in Science 2007 (United States).Dragonflies have been moving up to join butterflies as a model group for natural history and scientific study. This well-organized and readable book will help speed that trend on a hemispheric basis. -- E. O. Wilson, Harvard University For anyone interested in the identification of New World dragonflies, especially those of Central and South America, this well-written book is worth its weight in precious metals. It is equal to a whole filing cabinet of scientific papers, and with its plethora of illustrations it can be used for the identification not only of genera but for some species as well. -- Sidney W. Dunkle, author of Dragonflies through Binoculars There has long been a need for a comprehensive identification manual dealing with the rich dragonfly fauna of the Americas, and here it is! With this monumental set of keys and descriptions, supported by carefully detailed and artistically pleasing drawings, anyone can now identify to genus any dragonfly specimen from this half of the world. The publication of the New World Odonata Key ushers in a new era of appreciation for dragonfly biodiversity. -- Dennis Paulson, author of Dragonflies of Washington
