## Description

Excerpt from Thesaurus Entomologicus Oxoniensis: Or, Illustrations of New, Rare, and Interesting Insects, for the Most Part Contained in the Collection Presented to the University of OxfordThe Donation made to the University of Oxford by the late Rev. F. W. Hope, of his entire Collections and Library of Natural History, and the subsequent acquisition of the Burchell, Wells, and other Collections, including also my own, have enriched the University Museum with a large number of new and rare species of Insects, from which it has been considered advisable that a selection should be made for illustration in a manner worthy both of the donor and the University.In making this selection I have considered that it would be most beneficial to illustrate certain Groups or Families rather than isolated Species.With this view the Groups of Goliathodæ and Cremastocheilidæ have been selected; a complete monographs of the latter being given, with figures of upwards of one hundred Species. Of the singular Family Passidæ upwards of fifty Species are figured for the first time, together with many other curious Coleoptera. Many remarkable Groups and Species belonging to the Orders Hymenoptera, Orthiptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, and Lepidoptera, as well as several singular Apterous Groups, are also given.The Plates are engraved and coloured from drawings and dissections prepared by myself.I have considered it due to the memory of Mr. Hope to reprint the late Dr. Petti Grew's Biographical Notice of him, together with a concise account of the Collections presented by him to the University of Oxford, and a list of his published Works and Memoirs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
