Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Revision of the Coleopterous Family Coccinellidae Having spent many happy hours with the lamented author in the examination of the beautiful forms of which this book treats, I have felt it a pleasant thing to be associated, even in so humble a capacity, with its introduction to the Entomological world; and the little service I have had the privilege of rendering in the revision of the proof-sheets of the latter half of the work, has been quite a labour of love - enabling mo to offer a slight testimony of affection to a kind friend, and of my personal interest in that family of the Coleoptera which had first attracted my attention by the singular loveliness of its numerous species. A careful revision by the author himself would have been of incalculable value to the work; its usefulness would also have been greatly enhanced, had it been possible for him to have made those modifications and additions which his investigations in America afforded materials for. But, of course, this was not possible. There is, however, the consolation of knowing that the student can obtain the results of those later researches, in the author's memoir, entitled "Revision of the Coccinellidae of the United States," to which Mr Janson refers in the note which follows this preface.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revision of the New World Species of the Tribe Donaciini of the Coleopterous Family Chrysomelidae The North American species of Donacia are very variable and um fortunately in most of the characters useful in distinguishing species and the study of them was at times laborious as a great 'number of specimens of most of the species had to be examined and studied to ascertain how far the variations go and also to become thoroughly acquainted with the difierent species. In addition carefully reading the numerous original descriptions of American Donacias described by French, English, German and American authors has taken a good deal of time. However, the result has been gratifying as a number of mistakes in the identification of some of the species were found and could be corrected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Order Coleoptera The list in this order has been very materially added to in many fami lies, and may be considered fairly accurate and complete. It has been critically looked over by a number of our best Coleopterists, and every questionable record has been verified, so far as it was possible to do so. Credit is given in all cases for work done in the various families, and in most instances the most recent American work has been followed. There has been no recent comprehensive work on this order in the United States, and the studies in other countries, which indicate a very radical change in the arrangement of the series, have not been generally understood and accepted here. Under the circumstances, I have deemed it best to attempt no change in the arrangement, a faunal list being no proper place to introduce a mooted or new classification.

Download or read book A Monograph of the Coleopterous Families Corylophid and Sph riid written by A. Matthews and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph of the Coleopterous Families Corylophidae and Sphaeriidae: With Nine Plates It was at the instigation of my much-lamented friend Dr. John Lawrence LeConte that the idea of monographing the Corylophidaae first entered into my mind; and this fact would alone be sufficient to induce me to dedicate the work to his memory, even if I were not impelled to do so by veneration for his character, both as a man of science and a sincere Christian. In these days of scepticism and infidelity, it is refreshing to find an intellect like LeConte's free from the pride of human knowledge, and imbued with higher and more spiritual aspirations: ever seeking through the works of creation to promote the glory of the Creator. In his Address to the Academy or Philadelphia, in 1875, Dr. LeConte set forth his views of the true harmony of science with religion, in language scarcely to he surpassed for power or elegance. And in the following lines he has left a faithful portrait of his own character, and a lesson which many would do well to learn. Speaking of the evident proofs of intelligence, as distinguished from instinct, which are so commonly found, even in the insect world, he says: "Since it is so difficult for us to understand the mental processes of beings more or less similar hut inferior to ourselves, we should exercise great caution when we have to speak of the designs of One who is infinitely greater. Let us give no place to the crude speculations of would-be teleogists, who are indeed in a great part already refuted by the progress of science, which continually exhibits to its higher and more beautiful relations between the phenomena of Nature than it hath entered into the heart of man to conceive. Let not our vanity lead us to believe that, because God has deigned to guide our steps a few paces on the road of truth, we are justified in speaking as if He had taken us into intimate companionship, and informed us of all His counsels."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Genera and Species of Californian Coleoptera As a member of an expedition which explored several of the northern counties of California.

Among these several are thought to be of sufficient importance for description in an isolated manner, and the present occasion is also taken to interpolate a few from other portions of the state. The present paper is published with the hope that they may not prove entirely uninteresting to specialists in the' several families.

Download or read book Soft Scale Insects written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-12-09 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft Scale Insects is intended to be a further step towards providing comprehensive information on soft scale insects. Four or five decades ago, entomologists embarking on a study on soft scale insects would have encountered a scarcity of general text books or comprehensive treatise of the family, as a starting point for their research. At the time, the available knowledge and data were either scattered among numerous articles or regional monographs or were in obsolete books. It is hoped that this volume will cover almost the entire spectrum of the knowledge on the soft scale insect family, Coccidae. This book comprises six chapters and begins by discussing the natural enemies of soft scale insects, such as pathogens like entomopathogenic fungi; predators like coccineilidae and other coleoptera; and parasitoids like encyrtidae. It then discusses issues of damage and control, including pest status of soft scale insects and coccid pests of important crops. This book will be of interest to entomologists, horticulturists, zoologists, biologists, and those involved in general agricultural research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, by Australia's ladybird beetle specialist, Dr Adam Slipinski, illustrates Australia's diverse and fascinating ladybird beetle fauna — the commoner spotted species and the many others that are striped, glossy, and even very hairy. Most are predatory, but some are leaf feeders. This book reviews all 57 currently recognised genera of Australian Coccinellidae, recognising 260 valid described species, and including some genera and species newly described here. All genera are diagnosed, described and illustrated and a key to their identification is provided. Larvae of 30 species are described, illustrated and keyed. Sets of colour and black and white plates display these often beautifully colourful beetles, and their key features. The book is a must for all people interested in Australia's beetle fauna, in biocontrol and in natural resource management. This book was originally published in hardback by Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS) in 2007 and is now available in a digital format.
