Concerns about global biodiversity are rising dramatically, yet we are lagging behind in the most basic prerequisite for its understanding and conservation: the inventory. Insect species may make up five or ten times the number of all other plant and animal species combined, and as such they represent one of the major challenges in biosystematic science. World Catalogue of Insects is an initiative aiming at compiling worldscale, authoritative catalogues of monophyletic insect taxa. We are therefore proud to launch this major series. Volumes will as a minimum contain standard nomenclatoral information on all names pertaining to the taxon treated, including type locality and distribution to the extent this is relevant. Additional information is optional, e. g., location, status and condition of types; biology; bibliographical information; pest status; vector status; etc. This volume two focuses on Hydrophiloidea (Coleoptera).

Argania Editio presents its first European Fauna, written by the same author of the Iberian Fauna of this family (1993). This book deals with the 79 species of Oedemeridae recorded in Europe's west of Pechora, Volga and Don rivers, including the European part of Turkey, Crete and the Dodecanese archipelago. Thus, the Caucasus is excluded. It starts with a wide introduction, followed by a systematical chapter, including determination keys of all the taxa up to level subspecies, and many support drawings. All the descriptions of the taxa and general data on them are given, including its biology (icons of the habitat and the emergence period), the geographical distribution (maps), and a complete bibliography. The whole text is accompanied by drawings of any interesting morphological details. Finally, a complete systematical catalogue with the type species and all the known synonymies is added. As usually, plentiful bibliography and large full-color plates of all the species are also included.

Os Cerambycini são uma tribo numerosa e de distribuição mundial, representada por espécies de médio ou grande porte, coloração geralmente sombria, antenas com o comprimento do corpo ou maiores. Ocorre nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais de todo o globo e, na região neotrópica, está representada por 30 gêneros que habitam especialmente as formações florestais. Na América do Sul, vivem principalmente na Floresta Amazônica e Mata Atlântica. Neste quinto volume da série, agora editado pela Edusp, são tratadas as subtribos Sphalotrichina, Callidiopini, Graciliini e Neocorini. O material analisado e descrito neste volume pertence ao Museu de Zoologia da USP em sua maioria, mas há também material de outras instituições do Brasil ou de outros países.

The Ultimate Resource for the Beetle Enthusiast: Beetles fascinate hobbyists with their vivid colors and patterns, strange forms, and unusual behaviors. Some species are well-known to beetle breeders, but there are many others that have yet to be kept or bred by more than a handful of dedicated enthusiasts. Orin McMonigle provides detailed husbandry and breeding guides for a wide range of species, from the popular rhinoceros and stag beetles to darkling, diving, and dung beetles. This book is the result of years of experience and experimentation, with unprecedented details in caging, feeding, and environmental requirements for all stages of the beetles' lives. The breeding guides offer the best chance to form healthy ongoing colonies of these incredible creatures. This is the ultimate beetle book for hobbyists, breeders, nature museums, and insect zoos. Welcome to the world of beetles!

The Cerambycidae, or longhorned beetles, are one of the larger insect families, with some 20,000 described species (and thousands more undescribed) worldwide, from all continents except Antarctica. The large size and variety of coloration and sculpture of longhorned beetles make them a relatively easy group of insects to identify, especially considering the number of species (some 1,100 species estimated in North America excluding Mexico); this guide attempts to exploit this. This guide includes over 600 color images, covering 342 of the 344 species and subspecies of longhorned beetles that have been definitively recorded in northeastern North America, along with diagnostic features to enable recognition of all these species, as well as data on distribution, phenology, and larval feeding habits.

"This volume on Scolytid-Beetles (Scolytidae : Coleoptera), commonly known as 'Bark and Ambrosia-Beetles' deals with taxonomic accounts of species occurring in India. Inspite of their both beneficial and harmful roles to forestry and forest products, these insects are well known pests, especially in the temperate forests. The family Scolytidae contains about 270 species (world species) in India, of which only the tribe Xyleborini containing 97 species under 15 genera dealt in the first part of the current volume. The rest of the Indian species will be dealt in the second part of this volume very soon. Each species has been dealt with its current name, synonymy, description, keys, distribution, host-record, remarks, etc. Besides, this contains some general aspects, such as, Introduction, History, Classification, Zoogeography, Biology, Ecology, Control, etc." (jacket)

The book includes keys for the identification of adults and larvae of northeastern North American Carabidae. For the purpose of the book, the northeast includes the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine of the United States of America, the Canadian provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland (including Labrador), and the French overseas department of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Keys are provided for adults of all 97 genera and 565 species present in the northeast. Information pertaining to the habitat requirements, seasonal activity, occurrence and dispersal power of each species is provided and the geographical divisions (occurrence within the political regions), biogeographic category (whether the species is endemic, holarctic, or exotic) and bioclimatic zones (whether the species occurs in the temperate, boreal, arctic, or alpine regions) are listed. The keys are accompanied by 372 photographs or scanning electron photographs of character states and 260 color habitus illustrations. Keys are also provided for larvae of 84 genera and for several species belonging to the genera Cicindela, Calosoma, Carabus, Scaphinotus, Sphaeroderus, Blethisa, Elaphrus, Poecilus, Pterostichus, Diplocheila, and Notiobia. The keys are accompanied by 314 line drawings of character states and 26 habitus illustrations.

This guide to dung beetle husbandry is the sixth in the complete guide to rearing beetles series. The text covers background, captive husbandry, trapping and collecting, food and bait, other dung beetle species, and behavior with concentration on the beautiful Phanaeus vindex (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae).

This second edition provides updated information on the comprehensive morphology, distribution, and biology of significant pest species of the orders Acarina, Thysanoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera, respectively. Further emphasis is given to their monitoring methods, biological control, and cultural practices. Special attention to the subject of economic entomology makes this book indispensable for field entomologists. With the addition of 15 color plates, this is a convenient handbook for the identification and management of more than 300 pests. It is an essential reference and a useful teaching tool, benefiting students of Middle Eastern agriculture and entomology.

Scientifically, beetles belong to the Coleoptera, an insect order characterized by a pair of hard wing cases or elytra. These are believed to be the single most important feature that has contributed to the evolutionary success of beetles. These strong elytra grant the beetle an amour-like protection: when stepped on over soft ground, it is quite likely to be pushed unharmed into the mud, whereas other insects would be crushed. Beetles are also generally characterized by their biting mouth-parts. The word 'beetle' actually comes from the Middle English word 'bityl' or 'betyll' meaning 'little biter'. It could be said that the Creator must have been very fond of beetles. Or at least it would seem so because more than 400,000 species of insects are beetles, a significant two-fifths of all six-legged creatures. In comparison, there are a mere 44,000 species of vertebrates and some 250,000 species of known plants. Their diversity is not only evident in number, but also size, colour, pattern, form, as well as strategies of behaviour, defence, reproduction, and adaptation, already much appreciated since the time of the Pharaohs. Indeed, we live in the Age of Beetles! Beetles are certainly important to study if we are to understand the diversity and ecology of insect fauna in various tropical habitats. Although somewhat diverse and ubiquitous in terrestrial habitats, they are less commonly encountered than moths, butterflies and ants. This is mainly because more than 95% of beetles are less than a centimetre long and they are often not found in swarms as one species like ants. Many are only active at night. Borneo's mesmerising natural biodiversity is made up of very many species, including beetles, and very many are also endemic or confined to this island. It follows that it is virtually impossible to attempt including all beetles in the present account.
