A detailed, old‑school entomology reference with vivid species descriptions and taxonomic notes.
This edition collects endnotes, remarks, and original research on Orthoptera, Dermaptera, and related groups, illustrated with plates and precise lineage details. It is ideal for students and professionals who value historical depth and careful description.

- In‑depth accounts of species from New England to Africa, with emphasis on distribution, habitats, and behavior.
- New species descriptions and detailed morphological notes, including wing patterns and antennal structure.
- Historical context on classification choices and references to earlier publications.
- Abundant cross‑references and a running index that supports quick lookup of taxa and authors.
Ideal for readers of classic entomology, historical taxonomy, and museum study who appreciate dense, specimen‑level detail and period‑appropriate illustration notes.
