For more convenience, the site has been moved to Free at http://jcringenbach.free.fr/
It has also been simplified by removing the heavy flash animations. It
is now 100% html.
The Cerambycidae part is now complete. Buprestidae are close to completion
while work on other families is still ongoing. Cleridae are done, but
not yet validated by a specialist. The list for Tenebrionidae has been
finalised by Piero Leo, but more illustrations will come. An updated version
has been provided by Enzo Colonnelli for the Curculionidae and he is still
working on the determination of some species. Jan Muiljwik has finished
the identification of most species, but the pages still have to be done.
The main pages for the habitats are now here and some typical habitats
are illustrated.
Archaeology will come very soon.
