The first detailed review of the distribution and status of these groups of beetles in Britain and Ireland covers 62 species of which only 27 occur in Ireland. Included are the Buprestidae (jewel beetles) and Cantharidae (soldier beetles), and three smaller families: Lampyridae (glow worms), Lycidae (net-winged beetles) and Drilidae. Many species are uncommon, with 26 being classified as National Scarce or Red Data Book status in Britain.
The Atlas contains 14 pages of introductory text, including a check list with synonyms, 10km square distribution maps and brief species accounts for 58 species, glossary of plant names, acknowledgments (contributors of records), short bibliography and index to the maps/species accounts.
