Although some systematics info is dated (Sharanowski et al. (1) is the most recent phylogenetic update of the group as of this writing), contains comprehensive biological and taxonomic information, keys, and information on the biodiversity of the various groups, as well as habitus and wing diagrams, and SEM photographs of various morphological features helpful for identification. Very high quality work.

Typo in remarks
The updated paper should be cited as Sharanowski et al., not Sharonowski et al. This can only be corrected by the creator of the reference page (Joe). Rachel Behm has given similar comments on the linked reference (1048170) as well.

The key is not available online.
A review of it by Richard Zack, that went online in 1999, may be found in Annals of the Entomology Society of America by going to: http://aesa.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/4/615

Thank you.
I don't know why I didn't try the link Dr. Buck provided. I just saw the "your link does not work."

Publication has duplicate pages!
Be wary of page 162. The next page is 146. Pages 147 - 161 need to be deleted. Then the document seems correct with those duplicate pages removed.

Very confusing, just check it out.
