Family Chrysomelidae - Leaf Beetles

Borowiec L. (200_-2013) Chrysomelidae: The leaf beetles of Europe and the Mediterranean subregion (checklist and iconography)

[cite:364031]
An excellent guide with a complete illustrated list of European taxa with distribution data, compiled and maintained by a wold's top chrysomelid expert. The source is increasingly relevant to our area because of the growing number of Palearctic leaf beetles showing up and establishing in North America.
