 micro-lepidoptera recorded from the British Isles. An index of foodplants refers the reader to all 

 spp. known to feed on each particular plant; this makes possible the speedy identification of 

 larvae found (or at least narrows the field to a small number of spp.).

There are over 650 British beetles not included in Norman Joy's Practical handbook of British 



beetles. Some of these are new arrivals from the continent or further afield: others have been 



confused or overlooked. Many groups have undergone revision and spp. have been "split". Joy 



omitted many rare or doubtfully indigenous spp. Several of these have recently increased or 



been confirmed as certainly occurring (or having once occurred) in Britain. Main modern ke>s 



have been published since Joy's book, but these are often scattered through (sometimes obscure) 



journals. 



New British beetles puts these changes into perspective and offers a new look at the changes 

 that have taken place in the 63 years since Joy's publication. The most up-to-date and useful 

 keyworks are listed, together with other helpful and interesting references, or each 'new' species. 

 a short description and comparison with other related spp. is followed by journal and book 

 references through which identification can be made and confirmed.
