O’Connor and P. Ashe This book may be obtained from The Irish Biogeographical Society c/o Dr J. P. O’Connor, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Price €20 including packing and postage PREFACE This book deals with a great diversity of insect (sensu lato) groups. Those which are readily recognisable include the caddisflies (Trichoptera), cockroaches (Dictyoptera), dragonflies (Odonata), earwigs (Dermaptera), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), greenflies (Hemiptera), mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and shield bugs (Hemiptera) while others such as the proturans (Protura), psyllids (Hemiptera) and thrips (Thyansoptera) will be less familiar. Many of the included species are of economic importance. Altogether, information on 1684 species is included. Funded by The Irish Biogeographical Society, An annotated checklist of the Irish Hemiptera and small orders completes the basic check-listing of the Irish insects. The series consists of five publications, one published by the Irish Naturalists’ Journal. Three of the other works were published by The Irish Biogeographical Society in association with the National Museum of Ireland. The latter generously provided funding for their printing. On behalf of the Society, I wish therefore to thank Dr Pat Wallace (former Director), Mr Raghnall Ó Floinn (Head of Collections) and Mr Nigel Monaghan (Keeper of Natural History) for their past support. James P. O’Connor Editor The Irish Biogeographical Society 2 May 2012 While preparing this pdf of the original 2012 work, the opportunity has been taken to correct some minor errata, to reorganize the references and add some new ones. Since 2012, major works have appeared on the caddisflies, stoneflies and thrips and these are mentioned. James P. O’Connor Editor 6 January 2019 DEDICATION This volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr Courtenay Neville Smithers (1925-2011) in recognition of his important research work on the Irish Psocoptera, a group which includes the booklice and barklice.
