"This book and the entire two-volume series is a very important work for anyone interested in biodiversity, ecology, biogeography, forestry or agriculture in the areas studied as the prominent moths are serious pests of many important plants, therefore, it should be present in all museum and scientific libraries."

Alexander Schintlmeister, Ph.D. (1957), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, led many expeditions to study moths in most Asian countries, including about 10 expeditions to entire Indonesia. He is the author of several major publications on the moths of Vietnam (1997), the Notodontidae of China (Schintlmeister & Fang, 2001), the moths of Thailand (2007), the Palaearctic Notodontidae (Brill, 2008), a World catalogue of Insects, vol. 11 (Brill, 2013) and a monograph on the genus Lymantria (2004).
