Synopsis

Introduction To Entomology: Comprehending A General View Of The Metamorphoses, External Structure, Anatomy, Physiology, And Systematic Arrangement Of The Class Insects. Illustrated By Thirty-Eight Coloured Plates, With Memoirs Of Swammerdam And De Geer by James Duncan. Introduction To Entomology provides a comprehensive early survey of insects, detailing metamorphosis, external anatomy, and the internal physiology that sustains their life. It introduces the major anatomical systems—digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive—and explains how these contribute to insect biology. The work also presents a systematic arrangement of insects into orders (Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Neuroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera, and others), describing defining wing structures, larval forms, and developmental stages, with emphasis on classification principles and diagnostic features. Richly illustrated by 38 coloured plates, the volume situates empirical entomology within a historical frame, citing the Memoirs of Swammerdam and De Geer to trace the discipline’s early foundations and its evolution toward modern insect science.
