Kim,
I ran a quick search at the Natural History Book Shop in the UK, and came
up with the following (prices in UK pounds, similar here). 3 of them come
out this year. The guide by Brian Coates and David Bishop is expected to
be released in June. It appears to cover the most species (700). I'd ring
Andrew Isles first, if they can't help you try emailing the Natural
History Book Shop.
Cheers,
Rafael
