Item description from seller

1901 presentation copy, The Ray Society (London), 6 x 8 3/4 inches tall embossed purple cloth hardbound, no dust jacket, gilt crest of the Ry Society to front cover, gilt lettering to spine, copiously illustrated throughout with black-and-white drawings, text followed by 39 magnificent full-page plates - many in full color - with descriptions on the facing pages, xii, 220 pp. plus plates and publisher's ads. A reading / reference copy only. Covers heavily soiled, rubbed and edgeworn, with cracking along the backstrip, and tape at the top which presumably holds together the top of the backstrip.

Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~X~ The first volume (of two) of this definitive study of the Coccidae, a family of scale insects belonging to the superfamily Coccoidea. They are commonly known as soft scales, wax scales or tortoise scales. The females are flat with elongated oval bodies and a smooth integument which may be covered with wax. In some genera they possess legs but in others, they do not, and the antennae may be shortened or missing. The males may be alate or apterous. Author Robert Newstead (1859 - 1947) was a British entomologist and archaeologist. He was from 1886 curator at the Grosvenor Museum in Chester, where he was responsible for archaeological excavations. From 1905 he was a lecturer in medical entomology (entomology and parasitology) at the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine of the University of Liverpool and from 1911 a professor of entomology.…
