1) Paiero, Steven M. et al.. Field Guide to Jewel Beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) of Northeastern North America. 2012. Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Paperback: 411 pages. Price: FREE.
PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY: This 411 page field guide (6×9*) covers 164 jewel beetle species for northeastern North American (Manitoba and eastward) and includes 2 identification keys for the 23 genera in the region: one a technical key adapted from previously published works, and the other a “field key”, designed for use with a hand lens or digital camera and which uses characters that are more easily observed. Each species is fully illustrated with high magnification colour photos of the dorsal & ventral views, head and male genitalia (plus additional colour morphs or variations when available). A review of taxonomic synonyms, ESC & ESA approved common names, and all known larval host plants is provided in addition to thorough morphological diagnoses, characters useful for differentiating similar species, and notes on species abundance, habitat preference and economic importance.
This guide is intended to assist municipal foresters, arborists, technicians, entomologists, woodlot owners and naturalists in recognizing specimens encountered in the field.
RECOMMENDATION: This book is available in both English and French. To place an order, please phone 1-800-442-2342 (USA and Canada only). LARGE PDF files of the book are available here:
