Spektrum Akademischer Verlag Die Käfer Mitteleuropas, Bd. 10: Bruchidae-Curculionidae I

In the mid-60s, the first volume of this outstanding German-language determination work appeared for the coleopters found in Central Europe. Since then, the "Freude/Harde/Lohse" has established itself as a standard and reference work of coleopterology in science and research and also found popular among hobby entomologists. Meanwhile, 30 volumes have appeared, some of them already in 2. Overlay More new volumes on the beetle larvae are in preparation. The range is divided into the four sections: Systematik (Bde. 1-15): dichotomous determination keys of all beetle families are illustrated with precise line drawings, mostly up to the species. Brief information on distribution and habitat. Detailed reference indexes. Faunistics (Vol. K): Summary volume of tables on the synonymy, distribution, nutrition, and ecology of 135,000 Central European beetle species. Larvae (Bde. L1-L6): dichotomous determination keys of all larval stages of the beetles illustrated with line drawings and photographs with information on the habitats. Detailed reference indexes. Ecology (Bde. E1-E8): Systematic directories of ecology, habitats, niches, and nutrition types of all beetle families and their species. Spektrum Akademischer Verlag has now completed this unique zoological range. Out-of-print and painfully missed volumes have been reprinted.
