1893réf. 023361Huddersfeild & London: Various publishers 1893. Four volumes of this publication - rare as are all of Seth Lister Mosley's works.

Added at the rear is Swanton's paper on British Puff-Balls 6pp and Mosley's 'Catalogue of British Birds Nests and Eggs' 46pp. Signature again of Albert John Barnes contemporary cloth but hinges completely broken so the text block is sound but detached.

2007réf. 0067622007. NEW. Very well illustrated large 8vo pp x 115 a very good copy in dustwrapper. The metalwing demoiselles of the eastern tropics include 14 species in two genera of calopterygid damselflies distributed from Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the west to southern China and New Guinea in the east. With their brilliant iridescent hindwings the males of Neurobasis are among the most conspicuous and well-known inhabitants of clear forest streams throughout the region. The renowned odonatologist M.A. Lieftinck was so impressed by their beauty he called them the 'Birds of Paradise' among Odonata. lifetime goal of Lieftinck and before him Friedrich Ris was to produce a full taxonomic revision of the group. Sadly both died before their aims could be realised. This book provides this revision and includes a new species described from the highlands of New Guinea in 2006. Patterns of speciation are discussed in their zoogeographical context and in the light of recent molecular studies of the higher classification of the Calopterygidae. The book also includes a detailed historical account of the study of metalwings beginning with the description of 'Libellula chinensis' by Carl von Linné the father of taxonomy from a decorative coloured drawing in a book on rare birds published in 1750. In the past few decades a good deal of work has focussed on the biology of these insects including analyses of their complex mating behaviour and of the physical basis for their brilliant colours. This book summarises all published information on all aspects of metalwing biology and includes also many original observations on their ecology and behaviour based on the authors personal experiences.

They can be any size from the tiny 0.2mm fairy flies to spider-hunting wasps with wingspans of more than 10cm and are of immense significance primarily as pollinators but also because of their increasing use as biological control agents. This is the first time that comprehensive coverage of the hymeopterous fauna of a tropical country has been published. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. Oxford University Press Hardcover
