Martin,

the Memoires are published by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle: http://www.mnhn.fr/museum/foffice/science/science/DocScientifique/publications/presentation/listeParution/ficheParution.xsp?PARUTION_ID=1887&PUBLICATION_ID=63&THEMPUB_ID=102&idx=17&nav=tableau1

Unfortunately the price is quite hefty (139 Euro) due to it's size. It's a whopping 800 pages, whereof 120 pages for Alan's review and it comes with a CD-ROM containing the complete content as searchable pdf files (one per article). Very useful!

I got my copy from Wim Backhuys (www.backhuys.com) as he is a certified reseller of the Memoires and as such was the first one to have it available but you can get it from Klaus Groh as well: http://www.conchbooks.de/shop/en-us/dept_4.html#item_663

If you contact Alan Beu you might be lucky to get an offprint of his revision.

Needless to say that this publication is a major contribution to the knowledge on Cassidae and a must for collectors interested in that topic. Alan has done some big simplifications and re-arrangements among the genera Oocorys, Galeodea and Echinophoria.

If you are into Cassidae (as I am) you might also be interested in Alan Beu's revision of Tonnoideans from Indonesia*, which is available for free on the internet: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/41902

It contains important taxonomic information as well (eg synonymization of Hypocassis and Nannocassis with Cassis s.s.).

Best regards,
Tilo

WOW!!! Thank you very much Tilo for the Beu BEU A.G. 2008update
regarding the Cassidae. How would one obtain a copy of that workby
Beu?

It appears that all are not in agreement in the placement of the
Cassidae.

Martin
