New Books on Entomology & other Natural History - November 2025
Welcome to our November Newsletter, featuring a selection of new and forthcoming titles.
Our latest publications list presents an international list of new publications. Entomological highlights which are now published include:
· Holarctic Butterflies of the Subtribe Polyommatina, with colour plates of adults and detailed genitalia illustrations.
· Emperor Butterflies of the World presenting a bilingual monograph of the Apaturinae.
and two widely anticipated works are now in stock:
· Die Borkenkäfer Deutschlands…. providing comprehensive coverage of bark beetles in Central Europe.
· Die Wanzen Deutschlands II: A definitive guide to 850 heteroptera species found in Germany, with 1,500 colour macrophotographs of adults. Text German. An important resource for all hemipterists.
A reminder that a reprint of the popular Volume 1 of Andrew Duff’s series Beetles of Britain and Ireland is about to be reprinted (with minor amendments). This volume has been out of print and has been much in demand. Volumes 2 and 3 are also available for you to order.
