Abstract

Over 1200 specimens of 58 species of Palaearctic Anomaloninae in the National Museums of Scotland are reviewed, and many host records of British and European species are given, often with comments on the host repertoire and phenology of species. The British fauna is revised (involving also other collections), with 12 additions including description of Camposcopus ruficoxis Schnee & Shaw sp. n. and resurrection of Agrypon cognatum Fà¶rster,1860 stat. rev. Attention is drawn to British records from a previous publication (Gauld & Mitchell 1977) that are believed to be erroneous. Illustrated keys for the identification of all species recorded from Britain (including questionable records) and a few further species likely to occur are provided. Keywords: Distribution, hosts, phenology, identification, correction of errors, Camposcopus
