VG++* Illustrations: Numerous b/w line drawn representations throughout.* Pages: 177 pp. text. xx pp. indices at rear.* Description: ?With Keys to Genera and Species Arranged According to Habitat and 182 Illustrations". The novelty of Mr Dibb?s book is that his primary divisions of classification are bionomic. Conventional taxonomic classifications are much less specific and thus a number of names conceal the identity of any given individual specimen. These are immediately reduced to a tenth or less by bionomic listing and this clearly makes it a much more congenial task to recognise an insect among 360 possibilities rather than amongst 3600 entries, as well as the chance of error being less.* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st. edition with NO MAJOR FAULTS. Complete but worn dust jacket.* 1948-01-01.
