"The general characteristics, habits and habitats, importance and an outline classification of the phylum Arthropoda were given in volume 18 of the Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of Bangladesh. However, in the present volume, a viewpoint which appears to be consistent with present trends in the classification of insects, class insecta Linnaeus, 1758 has been used in place of Hexapoda Latreille, 1825. Besides, following the rules of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, Insecta 1758 would have priority over Hexapoda 1825.

"The Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of Bangladesh is the first illustrated compendium of all the life forms so far identified in Bangladesh. In 28 volumes it makes an exhaustive inventory of the whole range of plant and animal species in the country. While focusing mainly on the description, habits and habitats of the various species, comments are also made on their economic and ecological significance. Published both in Bangla and English the encyclopedia should be useful to those working for biodiversity conservation, teachers and students of the natural sciences, as well as general readers.
The encyclopedia is compiled and edited by a team of experts, with contributions from the leading scientists and researchers of the country, making it an authoritative reference work. It is another pioneering publication of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh, following the Banglapedia - the National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh." (jacket)
