ISBN 9788299692328

A very beautiful book that besides all macromoths also covers the micromoths traditionally collected by macro-lepidopterists such as Hepialidae, Sesiidae, Zygaenidae etc., totally 958 species. For each species a short text divided in the chapters Identification, Distribution, Larva, Imago and further there is a map to each species of the Norwegian distribution. All species are illustrated on the 163 colour plates, most of them slightly enlarged, which helps identification of especially the smaller species like the genera Idaea and Eupithecia. For each family a short introductionary chapter supplemented with some extremely beautiful colour photos of live butterflies and , often covering a whole page. The book has further short chapters on , Habitats, Distribution patterns, How to study and collect Lepidoptera, Classification, Nomenclature. Both the photography and printing quality in this book is very good and can probably not be done better.

The book is published by the Entomological Society of Norway in co-operation with the Natural History Museum in Oslo. Apollo Books are appointed as sole distributors outside Norway for this book.

ISBN 87-88757-28-5. ... € 62,00 A very impressive book on the Danish Hoverflies and highly praised in reviews. The main part is a systematic treatise of the 270 species known from Denmark. For each species the text is divided into the following chapters: Description, distribution, habitat, flight time, flower visits, and larval biology. For each species the distribution in Denmark is shown on a detailed 10 x 10 km UTM map. These maps are mainly based on a mapping project running over a decade before publication. On the 270 distribution maps there are nearly 35,000 dots, which means, that with 640 UTM squares covering Denmark, 54 species are in average known from each square. No other country has such a complete mapping of the Syrphidae. The book also contains general chapters on biotope preference, abundance and distribution patterns with many maps and photos. Furthermore the book contains the first Danish Red Data List, as many species are seriously threatened or vulnerable. This is mainly species related to old natural forests. The book also contains a list of species APOLLO BOOKS KIRJAT TIBIALE OY:n välityksessä 2016 ______as bio-indicators in natural forests and therefore it is most useable in the work for nature conservation. Very important in the book are the illustrations of which there are 21 very well produced colour plates. 12 of these illustrates all 270 Danish species, for many species both female and male, so that a total of 351 specimens are shown. The remaining 9 colour plates are photographs of living specimens in the nature, many of them in flight! Free colour brochure available.

This volume treats the 163 species of Brachycerinae and Otiorhyncherinae known from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Karelia, the surroundings of Sct. Petersburg, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, northern Poland, the north German lowland to the Harzen Mountains, The Netherlands, and Great Britain. Further 14 species found accidentally in the area covered are also treated. The colour plates illustrate all species in superb photographs of an hitherto unseen high quality. A total of 198 specimens are shown largely magnified. The text figures are genitalias, morphological details important for the identification etc. The distribution maps show the distribution by provinces in the area covered, only Great Britain is omitted. Species occurring in Denmark have a detailed distribution map of this country. The systematic part is for each species divided into the following chapters: Description, where all details are carefully mentioned; Distribution, where unusually many records and localities are mentioned; Bionomics, where habitat, foodplants, time for occurrence etc. are explained in detail; Summary, where distribution and bionomics are shortly summarized in 10-20 lines for each species. The weevil fauna of North €ope will be covered by two or three further parts. They should appeal to professional and amat€ entomologists, nature conservationists, university and museum libraries, higher educational institutions. A number of the species treated in part 1 can be serious pests in agriculture and forestry.

Vol. 8: Fogh Nielsen, O.: De danske guldsmede. (Odonata.) 1998. 280 pages. 230 colour photos. Line drawings. Distribution maps to all species. ISBN 87-88757-21-8. ... € 48,00 Together with the butterflies, the dragonflies are the most eye-catching insects in the north €opean nature. So far only one book has treated the Danish species of these beautiful and fascinating creatures: Espen Petersens dragonfly volume from 1910 in the series "Danmarks Fauna". Therefore the present book is long wanted and much needed. De danske guldsmede is an exceptionally beautiful book lavishly illustrated with very fine colour photographs of all Danish dragonfly species and their habitats. The book has a number of introductory chapters on Odonata in general and a systematic part treating all 53 species under the following headings: Introduction, identification, habitat, behaviour, lifecycle, flying time, and distribution. The description of the distribution of each species is supplemented with a map, that also covers the southernmost Norway, southern Sweden and northernmost Germany. There are illustrated keys to the adult larvae and larval skins and to the males and females of the adult dragonflies. The book is concluded with a short bibliography APOLLO BOOKS KIRJAT TIBIALE OY:n välityksessä 2016 ______and two indexes, one to the dragonflies and one to the plant species mentioned in the book. De danske guldsmede should appeal to both professional and amat€ entomologists as well as to those with a more general interest in the nature that surrounds us. Furthermore the book will be a most useful tool for those working with fresh water ecology and environment. Because of the many beautiful colour photographs of the dragonflies and their habitats, the book will also be of great interest to students of dragonflies, but without knowledge to the Danish language.

Vol. 9: Fogh Nielsen, O.: De danske græshopper. (The Danish Grasshoppers). 2000. 24 x 17 cm.. 192 pages. 137 colour photographs. 70 line drawings. Including sound CD with songs of all species. Song diagrams. Distribution maps. Systematic treatment of all species. Keys for identification. Text in Danish. Hardback. ISBN 87-88757-50-1. ... € 48,00 Saltatoria are wellknown insects and characteristic for the summer and early autumn. The north €opean species are not colourful like the butterflies or elegant flyers as the dragonflies, but their song fascinates us, and for many people the grashopper song is a part of the summer in the same way, as the bird song or the quacking of the frogs are in the spring. De danske græshopper is a beautiful and richly illustrated book, which in text and illustations comprehensively treats the 32 species of grasshoppers known to occur in Denmark with informations about how to recognise each species, their habitats, biology, behaviour and distribution. Further strong emphasis has been put on a comprehensive and detailed interpretation of the songs of each species - among other by the help of a large number of song diagrams. The book has very beautiful colour photographs depicting all species, and on the accompanying CD there are 49 sound recordings of the songs of all Danish grasshoppers. De danske græshopper is aimed for both amat€ and professional entomologists as well as for readers with a general interest in nature. Many readers will know the author for his very well reviewed and similarly beautifully illustrated De danske guldsmede. Danmarks Dyreliv is aimed to cover the fauna of Denmark and Fennoscandia or the whole of Northern €ope. Each volume treat a well defined family with text in Danish, but with numerous illustrations that make the volumes valuable also for non Danish readers. Volumes 1 on Hoverflies, 3 on Pyralidae, and 5 on Noctuidae are out of print and now Volume 1 is replaced by volume 6.

This 11th volume of ‘Animal Life in Denmark’ is aimed to be an extended field guide on the butterflies in Denmark. The book covers all species occuring in Denmark today as well as extinct species and rare migrants. For each species the text is divided into the following chapters: Identification, habitat, biology, behaviour, distribution. For all species occuring in Denmark today there are several colour photos of the adult insects, habitats and larvae and for extinct species and rare migrants less photos but they are still well illustrated.

ISBN 87-88757-01-3 The first list to cover the entire European fauna of butterflies and moths since the famous "Staudinger-Rebel Catalogue" which was published as long ago as in 1901. A large number of European specialists have been working on the family/subfamily treatments, and the list has been checked by leading experts in the national faunas. The higher classification used in the checklist is in accordance with the most recent research as it will be presented in the forthcoming treatment of Lepidoptera in the series "Handbook of Zoology". Hopefully the list will lead to uniformity in the systematics and nomenclature used in European lepidopterology! Besides being a checklist, "The Lepidoptera of €ope" also indicates in table form, in which of the European countries each species has been recorded. The occurrence is indicated for the following countries/regions: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Corsica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sardinia, Sicily, the European part of the former Soviet Union (apart from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the European part of Turkey, and the former Yugoslavia. As the checklist has been under preparation since the mid 1980's, some of the recent changes of the European borders could not be taken into account. "The Lepidoptera of Europe" contains more than 8.300 species known to occur in Europe and the distributional tables have approximately 74,000 records! "The Lepidoptera of Europe" will be an indispensable tool for anyone working with the European fauna of any group of Lepidoptera. The book is published in a limited edition of only 800 copies.

The aim of Noctuidae Sibiricae - the first 2 volumes of four – is to fill the last large gap of knowledge concerning Noctuidae of the northern hemisphere: the vast area of Russian Sibiria from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The area westwards is covered by Noctuidae €opaeae and the other side by the series Moths of North America and the monograph Moths of Japan. The author is probably the only that has sufficient knowledge to compile this 4-volume work on Sibirian Noctuids, partly because he from his home and work in the Russian Academy of Sciences (Far Eastern Branch) in Vladivostok has studied and travelled all over this vast area of still largely untouched nature, and partly because he has access to all the many small and old reports published locally. Also through the help of many fellow lepidopterists, this book-series is made possible. Volume I contains the full list of Noctuidae of Sibiria, not previously available, and thoroughly commented. The systematics follow that of the latest knowledge published (Fibiger & Lafontaine, 2005). The area has been subdivided into 14 more or less natural biogeographic zones, and the total Sibirian distribution is listed for each species and each zone. Also the literature is described in detail for each zone. The following three volumes is a systematic treatment incl. colour photos of all species, and photos of the male and female genitalia, - all in the usual high Kononenko quality, - already known from Noctuidae Europaeae, Noctuidae of Korea, and Moths of Thailand. For anyone who has an interest in noctuids and the study and determination of them, this new book series should be highly welcome.

A Taxonomic Handbook. CD-Rom edition. 2005. This edition contains volumes 1 and 2 of the printed edition published in 1996 and 1997 with a total of 714 pages and 3426 line drawings. ISBN 87-88757-55-2. Truly aquatic insects species are in North €ope found in ten different orders, representing a wide variety of form and life styles. Most diverse are the dipterans, the two-winged flies and midges, including among others the notorious blood- sucking pests of the boreal and subarctic regions. Other diverse orders are chiefly the beetles and caddisflies, including several hundreds of species occupying most of the available freshwater environments. Besides the aquatic beetles and bugs, insects classified as aquatic normally develop in water, whereas the adult flying forms are terrestrial. Swarming mayflies and hovering libellulas are well-known characteristics of lake and stream shores, whereas their aquatic larvae remain more anonymous for the general naturalist. On the contrary, insect larvae are nowadays widely used in environmental monitoring, the actual species composition at a locality providing reliable evidence on the impacts of acidification and pollution. Environmental applications have engaged many people in the identification of aquatic insect larvae, on scientific, commercial or governmental basis. However, these activities have been hampered by a general lack of an up-to-date standard work providing modern nomenclature and reliable identification keys including all known taxa from the region. The present handbook is designed to fill this gap, as far as taxonomic knowledge is available. Geographically, the handbook focuses on the Nordic Countries, i. e. Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Most information included will be correct also for the rest of Northern €ope, although some more southern taxa may be absent from the identification keys and check lists. The handbook is designed to serve several important purposes. The introductory text together with the many literature references provided for each order or family is a rich source of information on natural history, morphology, faunistics, classification and identification. The richly illustrated identification keys are generally given for both larvae and adults at least to the generic level. Check lists record the distributions of all known species from the region on a national basis.

Whip spiders (Amblypygi) can be large and terrifying animals with strong, raptorial pedipalps and long antenniform first legs that can produce a span of as much as 60 cm. Others are small and scarcely span 5 cm. They all lead a secretive nocturnal life and are extremely dangerous to other and small vertebrates. In contrast to spiders and scorpions, they are of no commercial, economic or medical importance and they are difficult to study in the field because of their nocturnal habits, possible reasons why they have been greatly neglected until recently, by scientists and naturalists. Whip spiders represent an old group that dates back to the Carboniferous period. Their partly primitive and partly derived morphological characters and habits make the study of these animals interesting, while observation of their behaviour greatly increases our knowledge and understanding of arachnids in general. In this book the author describes their morphology and systematics, their life history, their fascinating sensory biology, their complex mating dances and reproductive biology, and their ecology and distribution. Thus he has made a significant contibution to a better understanding of the morphology and biology of the Arachnida as a whole. Whip Spiders is an outstanding contribution to science and it will be of interest for anyone with an interest in Arachnida and for those keeping and breeding spiders.

Underlying the diversity of life histories and differing life forms (burrowers, climbers, sprawlers, clingers, and swimmers) and the adaptations of mouthparts and feeding behaviour to the trophic systems (shredders, collectors, scrapers, piercers, predators, and parasites) are the necessary physiological mechanisms that make it possible for the insects to ecologically adapt to an aquatic mode of life. The central themes of the book, the basic functions of an aquatic mode of life, respiration and osmoregulation, have been described for all of the insect groups. Without these basic functions life in fresh water would not be possible. They are important physiological components and play a significant role in answering the question: What makes originally land dwelling insects turn into aquatic insects? Biological Atlas of Aquatic Insects is intended for both professional and amat€ entomologists working with aquatic insects as well as for students of biology and limnology and should reveal to them the fully adapted aqutic insects, which participate in freshwater ecosystems. Biological Atlas of Aquatic Insects has already had some fine reviews in entomological journals and is expected to be a best-seller.
