Publisher's Synopsis
This title is revised and updated by MS Parsons. This is the first of two volumes, in a similar format to the "British Red Data Books", that describe the distribution, habitat and conservation requirements of 1043 species of beetle. This volume concentrates on 71 readily identifiable and popular families of terrestrial beetle, plus a table of status of water beetles. It begins a complete revision and expansion of the Coleoptera chapter in "British Red Data Books: 2. Insects", and extends coverage to include Nationally Notable Species.
