"The 21st [sic] Symposium of the Royal Entomological Society"--Introd.

"As there was no 21st Symposium volume produced due to the lack of papers presented to make a volume, a 'Special issue - Insects and disease' of Physiological entomology has been produced"--The Society's Web site.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
