Coleoptera

A scholarly and scientific work, part of a series published for the (then) South London Entomological and Natural History Society (later to become the British Entomological and Natural History Society).

Part of a series of twelve volumes, each divided into sections authored by different people according to their speciality, this one is part 9 of volume 5, and describes beetles Lagriidae-Meloidae. The series, called 'Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects' aims to provide enough information to identify each animal, by means of illustrations, and details about biology, morphology, and distribution.
