Coleopterology
Coleopterology (from Coleoptera and Ancient Greek, Greek , ''-logy, -logia'') is the scientific study of beetles, a branch of entomology. Practitioners are termed coleopterists and form groups of amateurs and professionals for business and pleasure. Among these is The Coleopterists Society, an international organization based in the United States. Journals Research in this field is often published in scientific journal, peer-reviewed journals specific to the field of coleopterology, though journals dealing with general entomology also publish many papers on various aspects of beetle biology. Some of the journals specific to beetle research are: * ''The Coleopterist'' (United Kingdom beetle fauna) * ''The Coleopterists Bulletin'' (published by The Coleopterists Society) * ''Elytron (journal), Elytron'' (published by the European Association of Coleopterology) Literature * * . * * . * KW Harde, F.

Anthony Adrian Allen (entomologist)
Anthony Adrian Allen (1 July 1913 – 23 June 2010) was a British entomologist who published several hundred scientific papers, in particular on the Coleoptera (beetles) of the British Isles. He was active for much of the middle and late 20th century. He formed a bridge between the great entomologists of last century, and the present generation, many of whom benefitted from his knowledge and guidance. Introduction Anthony Adrian Allen, almost universally known as A.A. Allen, was an entomologist specialising in the beetles (Coleoptera) of the British Isles. He has been described as 'one of the best known British coleopterists'.Barclay, M.V.L. (''& Editorial Panel'') 2010. A.A. Allen. The Coleopterist 19(3); p.150.
