Looking for Besoiro

[entomofou]

Hi,

I am looking for Besoiro, which is (was ?) published by P. Arnaud. Have you some ideas where I can buy them ?

What does Besoiro mean, is it an author, name of a periodical, it is not so clear to me what you are looking for ?

Indeed, it was really "short" !

Besoiro is a periodical created and published by Patrick Arnaud since 1995. The publications are about Scarabaeoidea (Rutelidae, Lucanidae, Cetoniidae, Scarabaeidae, ...).

I have sent some mails to P. Arnaud, but without any answer. And these publications aren't available for sale in Pemberley books, Abe books, etc...

That's really a problem because many new species are described and that's very hard to work without them... And many colleagues are in the same situation... So sad !!

Thanks for the informations, and I will try to find out, but it is strange that I never came across that periodical after so many years selling entomological books and separatas ...

The diffusion seems to be "confidential" : 50 samples printed, with 20-25 for museums and specialists, the other are sold to other entomologists... According to Wikipedia, if you want a N°, you have to contact P. Arnaud ...

Strange strange...

Rather strange, but nothing illegal !If I come across any copies I will let you know, but better if you give me your email in PM, unless you already receive my book listings ?

Hello Stephane,

Are you still looking to get copies of the Besoiros publications by Arnaud ?

I have the publications numbers 2 to 9 availables. They only have a few pages each (2 or 3 papers each).


Please contact me by PM if you still need them.


Bye
