Data provider: Chrysomelidae Recording Scheme
The Chrysomelidae are the seed and leaf beetles and may be familiar as the medium-sized shiny metallic beetles seen on mints, docks etc., the 'flea beetles' named after their small size and jumping ability, or the flattened, often green, 'tortoise beetles'. However, the group is a little more varied than this and includes the following three families: Chrysomelidae. The majority of leaf beetles, including the subfamilies Donaciinae ('reed beetles', Bruchinae ('seed beetles'), Galerucinae (encompassing the 'flea beetles') and Cassidinae ('tortoise beetles'). Megalopodidae. 3 species, all in the genus Zeugophora. Orsodacnidae. 2 species, both in the genus Orsodacne. Together these currently cover 281 species, a number which changes now and again with new discoveries and updated taxonomy.

Data provider: Dipterists Forum
With over 7,000 species the order Diptera is the largest in the UK. The enormous range of habitats, appearances, biology, behaviours and ease of identification has resulted in the development of numerous groups to study and record them. In an effort to share experiences and provide mutual support, the Dipterists Forum was formed and now conducts field meetings & workshops and publishes a biannual Bulletin and a journal, Dipterists Digest. Within this umbrella organisation are up to 28 different Study Groups and Recording Schemes. Some operate more or less independently, others under the Dipterists Forum banner and all have the continued support of BRC. A full list of these may be found on our website. The published resources listed below are managed directly by Dipterists Forum. For membership and access to publishing, contact John Showers at showersjohn@gmail.com
