Alert! The first part of a planned multiple part field guide to beetles in Australia by Mark Golding is available. While normally congratulations would be in order, this volume apparently captions unidentified specimens in photographs with unpublished names that may well be valid according to the Code. Perhaps unintended by Mark, but nonetheless very disruptive and dangerous to our collective work. To see the notice of publication for the first volume, go here.
