Beetles in Biodiversity Map Database

Entomological Bibliography Database

One of the main goals of Coleoptera Poloniae is to create a list of publications on beetles and making their content accessible. The publication content can be meant as a digital form of the original or the data it contains on species ocurrence (records).
This is realised by the Entomological Bibliography Database, being a part of the Biodiversity Map. Here, we present a selection of publications of the special importance for the Initiative.

Digitized KFP content

• Catalogus Faunae Poloniae, vol. XXIII — Beetles

Basic sources for the taxonomy used
