The Carabidae (Coleoptera) Larvae of Fennoscandia and Denmark: Based on a Manuscript by Sv.G. Larsson

This volume provides keys for the identification of the known larvae of Carabidae (ground beetles) of Fennoscandia and Denmark. It is partly based on a manuscript by the late S.G. Larsson and is supplementary to the two volumes in this series by C.H. Lindroth on adult Carabidae. After sections outlining the features, biology and study of carabid larvae, the bulk of the volume consists of keys and individual descriptions of all the species whose larvae are known. The book is illustrated with nearly 600 figures. Providing specific descriptions of the larvae of this important group of beetles, the volume should be of value to all who need to identify carabid larvae from Northern Europe.
