List of Devon Beetles

Compiled by Martin Luff, (D.A. Recorder for Coleoptera), January 2021.
Web implementation by John Maltby.

This list is based on the index of Devon beetles compiled by the late G.H.Ashe (1879-1961), and left to the D.A. by Ashe. A full history of beetle recording in the county is in the paper on Devon entomology by Beavan et al, 2018, Rep.Trans.D.A.. 150:51-106. Ashe’s index has been supplemented by successive County Recorders, with many additional species being listed in the Annual Reports of the Entomology Section. Further records have been compiled by the present Recorder from data sent by other coleopterists, entomological journals and selected museum collections. The list is a dynamic and incomplete snapshot of current information that will be updated periodically.

Clicking on a family name in the table below leads to a species list for that family, and almost all of the species names link to a map, an illustration and information for that species. Note that the table can be sorted by clicking on any of the header entries.
