Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprises a catalogue of European Noctuae moths, curated by N. F. Dobrà e, and presented to the Hull Museum in 1909. The catalogue provides a record of Dobrà e's collection of these moths, gathered from various localities in Europe between 1871 and 1889, including many rare and notable specimens. The author details the geographical distribution of each species and, where relevant, describes any variations in the species across Europe and beyond. This geographical and taxonomic approach to understanding the European Noctuae places the book among important works of the late 19th century that advanced entomological knowledge. Of particular interest to current lepidopterists are the numerous examples of melanism and melanochroism exhibited by the moths and analyzed by the author, whose work in this field was pivotal in shaping scientific opinion. The descriptive detail and varied range of species included in the book make it a significant resource for students and collectors of European moths. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333560003_0
