Review (by Malcolm Storey)	Keys to seed and leaf beetles, including flea beetles. Very reasonably priced.
Errata, Corrigenda & Comments	p42 Oulema: figs 94 and 96 (the female reproductive apparatus) are the opposite way round from the text. Mark Telfer informs me that it is the text that is transposed, specifically the following two phrases should be swapped: melanopus the sd is “short, its length approximately the same as” the bc width, whereas in rufocyanea it is “long, clearly longer”.
Examine	Stereo Microscope ( Compound Microscope is also useful)
Specimen Preparation	Genitalia needed in some cases.
