FINNISH HOVERFLIES and some species in adjacent countries
Anitti Haarto & Sakari Kerppola, 2007.
Finland,647, col photos, col drawings, maps.
web-site here.
This book covers 422 species including the 347 recorded from Finland and additions from the adjacent countries of Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and parts of European Russia. This includes most, but not all, British species. Although the text is in Finnish, the keys are repeated in English and captions in English are also given for many of the illustrations in the introduction.
It is very extensively illustrated with a superb field photo of one of the Finnish species for each genus and each Finnish species is illustrated with a photo of a specimen. These photos are also repeated at life size in a series of plates, but the value of these is rather questionable. The illustrations in the keys are also in colour, but the colours are rather strange in places - it is not clear whether this is a reproduction problem!
The English version of the keys makes this a useful book for its coverage of the northern European fauna. |
