HMW 6 can be preordered for a Pre-publication Offer until May 15, 2016

--------------

Question: HMW 7 state that there are 9 families in the suborder Myomorpha. That are two families more than in MSW3 (2005). So which families are new?

So when is it expected to be available, nothing on Lynx so far?

Volume 6 somewhat delayed

The Pre-publication Offer price is until May 15th, 2016. The book will be published in June 2016.
Got a message that volume 6 will not be ready in time. Presently, end of July is the official date, with shipping in August/September. If it's not more, we can probably all live with it. B :)
 
Hello Everyone, i have two small questions regarding Genus ( Leopardus ) in the first volume,

1 - Did they recognize the Pantanal Cat ( Leopardus braccatus ) and the Pampas Cat ( Leopardus pajeros ) as distinct species from the colocolo ( Leopardus colocolo ) ?

2 - What taxa ( species & subspecies ) - including forms - are illustrated in Genus ( Leopardus ) plate ?

Thank You...

HMW 6 listed as available now

Lynx lists Volume 6 now as being available. I presume most of us will still have to wait a while till we can actually look at it.

My supplier has it on the site as available from 30th?

Wish they'd put something a bit more interesting than a Rabbit on the front......
