Abstract
The general biology of insect eggs including Chrysomelidae has been brilliantly reviewed in the last publication of Prof. Howard Hinton, published posthumously in three volumes (1981). A particularly useful review of the egg-laying habits of the Chrysomelid beetles of northern Europe is to be found in Cox (1976).
