Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera
The idea to prepare a new catalogue of Palaearctic beetles was established by several Czech entomologists in Prague in 1996. Ivan Löbl (Geneva, Switzerland) and Aleš Smetana (Ottawa, Canada) took charged of the editorship of the catalogue. The printed catalogues were published in eight volumes (2003-2013) by Apollo Books (currently owned by Brill). The Second and updated edition of the catalogue has been gradually published by Brill since 2015.
Catalogue of the family Gyrinidae was originally made by Paolo Mazzoldi (Brescia, Italy). New version for the second edition of the catalogue was compiled by Jiří Hájek (National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic) and Hans Fery (Berlin, Germany). The online version is available from 2019.

Latissimus – the newsletter of the Balfour-Browne club
The Balfour-Browne Club was formed in 1976 as a group dedicated to the study of water beetles. It was named in honour of Professor Frank Balfour-Browne (1874-1967), the British doyen of water beetles.
Fifty newsletters were produced from 1976 to 1992. Their contents reflect the steadily increasing interest in European Coleoptera as a whole. The newsletter was renamed Latissimus in 1992. Everyone is expected to send reprints for review in Latissimus, plus, of course, short articles. Thanks to Garth Foster (Ayr, Scotland), Latissimus is available online from 2016:
