5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book,
By
This review is from: American Beetles, Volume II: Polyphaga: Scarabaeoidea through Curculionoidea (Paperback)
This book is simply a necessity if you really want to get serious about studying beetles. My only complaint about this book is that the binding is cheap. All families are covered and each family has an extensive bibliography. This helps you find the species level keys that you need to identify your beetles. This book and its companion volume bring together an amazing amount of data. KEY TO FAMILIES IS IN THIS VOLUME...not volume I

This review is from: American Beetles, Volume II: Polyphaga: Scarabaeoidea through Curculionoidea (Paperback)
This book, in addition to the first volume, is an outstanding reference for coleopterists and general entomologists. It provides one of the most accurate keys for identification of families, and it comes with very well pics/draws to help the reader to identify the sp(p).
I highly recommend this book (PLUS volume I).

Very nice book on beetles,
By
This review is from: American Beetles, Volume II: Polyphaga: Scarabaeoidea through Curculionoidea (Paperback)
This book and its first volume are very useful both for amateurs interested in beetles, or for coleopterologist that seek a general handbook on beetles families.
Each chapter corresponds to a family, and have been written by specialist on that specific group. The drawings could be better in some cases, but in general is a very helpful and user-friendly book on Coleoptera.
