Synopsis

The Entomologist's Annual For MDCCCLXXIII, by Henry Tibbats Stainton, is a 1873 compilation of British entomology. This volume gathers extensive notes on Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, including new British species described for 1872, corrections to nomenclature, and observations on collection methods, locality records, and species distributions across the British Isles. It features detailed taxonomic updates from multiple contributors, discussions on priority and naming conventions, and reviews of regional faunas such as the Lepidoptera of Perthshire (Part I of the Fauna Perthensis). The work also includes long-form articles, such as investigations into Sciaphila wahlbomiana and allied species, accounts of parthenogenesis in Sphinx ligustri, and a cogent essay on the perils of one-sided scientific reasoning. Richly illustrated with plates and frontispieces, the volume serves as a reference for researchers tracing the taxonomy, biology, and biogeography of British insects in the late 19th century.
