THE PRIONIDS OF THE WORLD I
The first volume in this exciting new series includes a worldwide overview of the classification of this incredible group of longhorn beetles. It reflects many recent changes in the phylogeny of the Cerambycidae due to DNA analyses. Included are examples from 30 tribes in the subfamily Prioninae, as well as the closely related Anoplodermatidae, Parandrinae, and Oxypeltidae families. One or more representative species of each tribe is illustrated by spectacular, large photos, referencing sex, size, genus, species and locality.

THE PRIONIDS OF THE NEOTROPICAL REGION II
The second volume of the illustrated catalogue of prionids is devoted to South and Central America. It follows the firstbook,which illustrated more than one hundred species worldwide of this families that has between 1200 and 1300 species.
Ivo Jeniš again presents here more than one hundred species among 325 in the region. The pictures are beautiful, emphasizing the smallest details and the colours,and many species are shown here for the firsttime.
The preparation of a second volume began in 2008. The determination of several problematic species has been consulted with experts on the Prioninae family. Thanks to the extensive collection, the lending out of samples and the co-operation of the Natural History Museum in London, the National Museum in Prague and the Silesian Museum in Opava, I was able to amass a sufficient number of species that are often unique and that haven’t been published pictorially. It is obvious from the photographic documentation that was conducted that many species, particularly the Prionacalus and Psalidognathus families, can be defined as completely new or valid species, viz the chapter Cryptical species Psalidognathini. The work on the documentation of type material from further museums and collections will continue. As a bonus, more than 60 types of Anoplodermatidae and Prioninae which are deposited in the Natural History Museum in London and one Prioninae from the National Museum in Prague and which are described from the Neotropical Region have been published in the conclusion of the book. There is also a critically compiled over-view of the largest Prioninae, the largest beetles in the world, in the conclusion of the book.
