When Kapoor produced the 1998 first edition, there was no Indian text on categorizing animals for undergraduates and graduates of biology and its specialties. The second edition incorporates changes in the 1999 fourth edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and other references.

Most books for university students either treat cursorily or altogether overlook several vital aspects of insect systematics. Dr. Kapoor's work, markedly distinguished from the publicationsof the genre, is a highly methodized, painstaking effort to methodized, painstaking effort to comprehensively cover, in one volume, the taxonomic account, habits, habitat, biology and classiciation of each insect order. Highlighting for the first time the incalcuable harm that the immature forms cause to human beings, it systematically sets out the classification of both the adult and immature forms, wherever feasible. The author, recognising and also defining and classifying thirtyone distinct orders of insects, offers an indepth discussion of habits, habitat, bioolgy, and fossil history of each order. He incorporates dichotomous keys which in turn, are supported by labelled diagrams, showing the various characters employed in the keys.
This Is The First Comprehensive Work On The Indian Pipunculids After Brunetti'S In 1923. The Importance Of These Flies As Biocontrol Agents Of Homopteran Pests, Especially Those Of Rice, Is Being Greatly Felt Now. Since The Fauna Of These Flies Was Very Poorly Known In India, The Flies Were Never Tried For Such Purpose. The Present Work Which Includes 91 Species From India Under 6 Genera Will Not Only Enable Workers To Identify The Desired SpeĀ¬Cies For Their Proper Manipulation As Biocontrol Agents But Also Be Useful In Discovering More And More Pipunculid Species.
