The Last Complete World Catalogue of Beetles Was Published More Than 85 Years Ago
The Coleopterorum Catalogus, published by Wilhelm Junk and edited by Sigmund Schenkling between 1910 and 1940, was the last completed comprehensive printed catalogue covering the entire order Coleoptera.
Since then, knowledge of the world’s beetles has expanded enormously, but it has become dispersed across thousands of taxonomic papers, regional catalogues and specialist monographs.
Insect Books publishes modern, richly illustrated specialist works that bring this fragmented knowledge together and make it accessible to entomologists, museums, researchers and collectors worldwide.
