Second (1946) printing of first (1945) edition. xv, 317 p., 7 halftone plates (photos of insects), 97 line drawings; locality map on front end papers. "Prepared to serve as a guide to the strange insects which are known on the thousands of islands in the Pacific from the Galapagos and Hawaii to New Zealand, Sumatra and Burma, and in the area from Australia to Formosa, Japan and the Aleutians. It is the first book to attempt to outline most of the insects of the area in one volume." (jacket copy) [A soft cover edition of this book was printed for limited distribution was published by "The Infantry Journal."] Very Good condition; some foxing on end papers, clean and unmarked except for owner's inked signature on t.p. Dust jacket fair (NOT price-clipped); would be "good" except for two inch-long feeding tracks where insects ate through the paper on the spine.

Store Description

Entomological Reprint Specialists (or ERS) was founded as a publisher and mailorder bookselling business in 1968. We started by reprinting out-of-print titles that still had a high demand because of their current utility. Soon, however, we diversified by becoming (at one time) the world's largest mailorder seller offering only books on insects and related arthropods. We continue to be one of the largest distributors for the Moths of North America series, but other sales are now limited to stock on hand and used or antiquarian items that come into our possession.
