i remember in joys practical handbook of british beetles coming to the end of a key that basically said

(Number ) Like below but slightly more matt. (Tenebrio obsurus)

- Like above slightly more gloss. (T. Molitor)

the problem was the author assumed that the read had acess to a "reliably named collection" which unfortunatly i didnt!
