The Royal Entomological Society Handbooks

The aim of the Handbooks is to provide illustrated identification keys to the insects of Britain, together with concise morphological, biological and distributional information. The series also includes a Checklist of British Insects.

These Handbooks are more technical than the AIDGAP guides.
