Hyvä suomiharrastajan kirja € 59,00 (Handbook on the Norwegian butterflies and macromoths). 2009. 20 x 26 cm. 432 pages. Illustrated throughout in colour. Text in Norwegian. Hardback. 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 moths, often covering a whole page. The book has further short chapters on Lepidoptera, 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.

English summary to each species. Hardback with dust cover. 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. Vol. 7: Palm, E.: Nord€opas snudebiller.
