Field guide for the tropical Americas.

[MikeyD]

Are there any good field guides that include the arachnids of tropical Latin America? I recently picked up Insects and other Arthropods of Tropical America but it is more an introductory text and I am hoping to get a field guide for Central America. So far can only find one but it completely lacks content on arachnids.

Did you check online? There might be a few out there!

I would bet you'll have trouble with something as broad as arachnids. Even in the temperate zone what you really need is family-specific keys. You might be able to find something to get you down to family, though; I would check google scholar.
