Checklist of the beetles of Canada and Alaska, by Y. Bousquet (Ed.), 1991

This somewhat taxonomically outdated yet very valuable source (originally published as Bousquet, Y. (Ed.) 1991. Checklist of beetles of Canada and Alaska. Research Branch, Agriculutre Canada. Publication 1861/E., Ottawa. 430 pp.) had been extensively cited on BG for years; I'm adding this entry to facilitate/standardize citation using the consistent [cite:_377219] format.
Also available as Excel worksheet

kerbtier.de - The overview of the beetle fauna of Germany, by Christoph Benisch

This impeccably designed, user-friendliest online photo guide is run by a formidable beetle enthusiast who only includes photos of specimens captured by himself. This extremely helpful source shows species thumbnails (backed by excellent high-res pix) of each family as a single plate, which offers the user a perfect idea of what the members of the group look like. Highly recommended to anyone remotely interested in beetles. Browse it often, folks!

Ohio Coleopterists

This is the site of an organization called Ohio Coleopterists. Of particular interest are a number of back issues of newsletters, with articles on such topics as rearing beetles and unusual collecting methods.

As of my October 2005 visit, the site appears to be no longer updated, but I found the newsletter backfile most useful and interesting.
