Australian Weevils: Volume IV covers the 11 smaller tribes of the weevil subfamily Entiminae (broad-nosed weevils), which comprises more than 100 genera and 700 described species in Australia. Around half of this fauna is covered in Volume IV, featuring keys to all the tribes, genera and described species as well as updated concepts and diagnoses of the tribes and summarising accounts of the taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution and known hostplants of all the genera and species.

All the introduced species of Entiminae in Australia, most of which are regarded as agricultural or horticultural pests, are included, as are descriptions of 12 new genera and eight new species and identifications of about another 240 undescribed species. The book also includes an overview of the salient characters of the Entiminae, illustrated on 18 colour plates of diagnostic features needed for identifying these weevils, alongside a further 180 colour plates illustrating the habitus and genitalia of all the genera and of several other species and their diagnostic characters. The volume further includes an obituary and full publication list of the late Elwood C. Zimmerman as well as an updated list of recent literature on the Australian Entiminae and other weevils.

The book is an essential reference work for researchers and students working with entimine weevils both in Australia and abroad. It is part of the Australian Weevils series.

Part II

(Part I is on pages 452–828 of Volume III)

The true university is a collection of books.

This second part of Literature Consulted lists not only all the publications cited in this volume but also others of relevance to the Australian weevil fauna that were published after 1993 (Part I), as well as some earlier ones that were omitted in Part I. As in Part I, these publications do not necessarily or always deal specifically with Australian weevils; papers addressing issues of indirect relevance to Australian weevils, such as phylogenetic relationships, fossil records or general weevil-plant associations, are listed as well (generally with a short commentary). Also as before, no attempt has been made to fully cover the literature of applied entomology as it applies to the Australian weevils.

The referencing format in Part II has been modernised and updated to the style now commonly used by scientific journals that have joined Crossref, a not-for-profit membership organisation for scholarly publishing that works to make content easy to find, cite, link and assess (https://www.crossref.org/). The key to easy cross-referencing of modern articles (available in digital format) is the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which is now cited in Crossref member journals for all referenced articles that have a DOI number. We have not included DOI links in this literature list, partly because tracing and verifying them is an onerous task in long literature lists such as this and partly because this volume is foremost published in print, which does not allow clicking on a DOI link to access the respective article, even in ebook format. Nonetheless, we have used the reference format of Crossref member journals, as exemplified by Zootaxa, now arguably the premiere international journal for publishing taxonomic work on insects (see http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/support/reference.pdf), with a few modifications:

1. author names are still printed in bold, to improve legibility;

2. author first names are consistently abbreviated to initials, and multiple initials are separated by a hard space (as are the full first names when not abbreviated);

3. in enumerations of multiple authors, author initials are always inserted between commas, as they are qualifiers of the enumerated items (surnames), not enumerated items themselves.

[Introduces the adjectival terms pedotectal and pedal to describe the two main types of male genitalia in weevils, which had previously often incorrectly been referred to as “orthocerous” and “gonatocerous” types. These latter terms refer to the “straight” and the “kneed/elbowed” (geniculate) types of antennae, respectively, but can only be applied to their bearers, not to the antennae themselves.]

[Corrects the use of the name Derelomini Lacordaire, 1866 by Franz & Valente (2005) and Franz (2006) for a tribe including also the Acalyptini because of the priority of the latter name. However, Acalyptini and Derelomini are better treated as different tribes (Kojima & Morimoto, 2005; Caldara et al., 2014). Only Acalyptini occur in Australia.]
