I am waiting for suggestions on water beetles

In 1999, the publishing house "Apollo Books Aps." (Kirkeby Sand 19, DK-5771, Stenstrup, Denmark - <apollobooks@vip.cybercity.dk>) published the 3rd volume of the "World Catalogue of Insects", dedicated to the family Dytiscidae [2], prepared by M. Hansen (M. Hansen), also devoted to beetles-the family Hydraenidae - Volume 1 (1998) and superfamily Hydrophiloidea-volume 2 (1999)].

Can't anyone offer me plavuntsov? or literature on them

If you are interested in Far Eastern species, I can pick them up in the upcoming field season. Write us and we'll make an agreement!

Views from the Far East are interesting. Let's agree on what you want, an exchange or something. My address hydaticus@rambler.ru, page www.oleg-brechov.narod.ru I'll be waiting."

Are you interested in fees from Kyrgyzstan? I can send them for processing, although there are not very many of them, but all of them are already mounted and labeled.

I'll be very grateful. Plavuntsy are interesting from any point. If they are needed after processing, I will return them back. You can get my address on the site.

I have plavuntsy from the Caucasus (with labels) Krasnodar Region, I can exchange for water beetles from other regions.
Please contact us VangelinaV@rambler.ru

There are water beetles in the Stavropol Territory, Rostov Region, Kalmykia, Krasnodar Territory, and Karachay-Cherkessia. Write us, exchange is possible, we will agree serg_p@avn.skiftel.ru

I can help swimmers in Primorye. If you are interested, write to us.

Gentlemen, I wrote to everyone, please respond, I am ready to cooperate with everyone. I remind you of my address hydaticus@rambler.ru
