'... an extremely valuable contribution to the entomological literature.' Colin W. Plant, Entomologist, '… an extremely valuable contribution to the entomological literature.' Colin W. Plant, Entomologist, ‘ … the volume brings an enormous amount of desirable information to a wide audience in a very compact form. Because of its scope, it will be of immediate use in many European countries besides Britain, and serves as a useful model to those working in other faunistic regions.’Martin H. Villet, Department of Zoology and Entomology, Rhodes University, South Africa, ‘ … an essential and up-to-date tool for all working with or interested in more than a single insect order.’Adrian Spalding, Entomologist’s Gazette, ' … the volume brings an enormous amount of desirable information to a wide audience in a very compact form.

Villet, Rhodes University, "This book is essential for any library dealing with British or Irish fauna. It is also of some wider interest because books of broader regional or worldwide coverage are also included under each insect or arachnid group." Choice, "This will be an essential reference book for those involved in insect and arachnid identification."

Villet, Department of Zoology and Entomology, Rhodes University, South Africa, "The publication of the first edition of A Checklist of British Insects by G.S. Koet and C. Hincks in 1945 caused an upsurge in amateur and professional entomology in the British Isles, and it can be expected that this new publication will do likewise. It not only points the way into the huge literature that can be utilized for the identification of British insects and arachnids, but it outlines where more work is needed." Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Canada, '... an extremely valuable contribution to the entomological literature.'Colin W. Plant, Entomologist
