This volume treats the 157 species of predaceaous diving beetles (Dytiscidae) found in Finland, East Fennoscandia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Baltic States. Introducing chapters provide general information about the state of knowledge and distribution, morphology of adults and larvae, bionomics, collecting and rearing. The main part comprises keys and descriptions for identification of adult beetles, including information on distribution and biology of all species. A catalogue shows provincial records in Fennoscandia and Denmark. The book contains 608 figures and 3 plates. An up-to-date, well illustrated identification manual for the Fennoscandian and Danish Dytiscidae has been wanting for decades. This work is based on the latest advances in synonymy and taxonomy of the family, and on the study of thousands of specimens in collections and field.

This volume provides keys for the identification of the known larvae of Carabidae (ground beetles) of Fennoscandia and Denmark. It is partly based on a manuscript by the late S.G. Larsson, and is supplementary to the two volumes in this series by C.H. Lindroth on adult Carabidae. After sections outlining the features, biology and study of carabid larvae, the bulk of the volume consists of keys and individual descriptions of all the species whose larvae are known. The book is profusely illustrated with nearly 600 figures. The volume will be invaluable to all who need to identify carabid larvae from Northern Europe, and provides the only complete and detailed text, including specific descriptions, of the larvae of this important group of beetles.
