This volume includes records
This volume includes records of 2,209 beetle species recorded from the state of Rhode Island (1,045 square miles) based on records spanning the last 150 years. Included are summaries of species of potential conservation concern (37 spp.), species that are known only from Rhode Island - all named by Thomas Casey (62 spp), species that are non-native to North America (192 spp), and a comparison of survey efforts from 1904 with those of approximately a century later. Each entry is annotated with determiner, voucher sources - either museum or publication or both, notes on ecology, and host or prey species. The intended audience are any who work with insect biodiversity in northeast North America and coleopterists in general.
