Illustrations of the Zygænidæ& Bombycidæ of North America, Vol. 1
Excerpt from Illustrations of the Zygaenidae& Bombycidae of North America, Vol. 1: Part 1 to 9, July 1872 to Dec; 1873 Many species exist in cabinets only as unique specimens; and a large number are so rare that few possess them.

Iranian Entomology - An Introduction
This major work presents the first comprehensive survey on entomological studies in Iran from prehistoric periods up to modern times. This concise collection and excerpts from the literature are complemented by over 130 color figures of superb quality showing insects and their habitats. Volume 1 Faunal Studies concentrates on the systematic taxonomy of Iranian insects. It also lists all members of Rhopalocera (butterflies) and four families of Heterocera (moths). An introductory chapter is reserved for basic information on the geography, vegetation and climate of Iran. Volume 2 Applied Entomology starts with a chapter on the history of entomology in Iran until current times. Several chapters cover agricultural aspects of entomology, such as destructive insects, biological control or cultivars exhibiting resistance to insect pests. Other chapters are on medical entomology, e.g. mosquito-, sandfly- or flea-borne diseases and human myiasis.
