New Books on Entomology and other Natural History - July 2022
We hope you enjoy browsing our latest list of new and forthcoming publications.
We are delighted to announce that Pemberley Books are acting as distributors for two newly published books.
Michael Darby’s new book British Coleopterists is based on years of dedicated research. The book includes 1,700 fascinating biographies, and provides much useful information about coleoptera collections. This will be an invaluable resource for entomologists and curators, helping to locate type specimens and assist research into the history of beetle collectors and collections.
The Gelechiidae of North-West Europe, by Keld Gregersen and Ole Karsholt will be of great interest to entomologists, the handbook covers 269 species of Gelechiidae moths occurring in North West Europe, including the British Isles. [PLEASE NOTE: We are distributors of The Gelechiidae in the U.K., Ireland and other non-EU countries worldwide. Please note we do not have rights to sell this title to EU countries apart from Ireland].
----------------------------------------------------------------
We have copies in stock of Peter Chandler’s major new work on the Fungus Gnats (Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects 9/8), published by the Royal Entomological Society. This will undoubtably encourage wider interest in the subfamily Mycetophilinae which are found in forests and other wooded habitats
Just published and expected soon - Butterflies of Cyprus: Field Guide and Distribution Atlas by Eddie John. Still available at pre-publication offer price.
