The Scientific Names of the British Lepidoptera by A. Maitland Emmet Pdf
An Introduction, giving notes on Nomenclature, Classification and Conventions; and Terms and Abbreviations, is followed by a History of the Scientific Nomenclature of Lepidoptera. In the Systematic Section, the meanings of over 4000 names are given. The nomenclature is that of Kloet & Hincks (1972) with more recent amendments. The specific names (each preceded by the Bradley & Fletcher Log Book number) are explained, together with the names of the genera, families and suborders to which they belong, giving both Latin and Greek roots. Appendixes include People commemorated in the names of Lepidoptera; Geographical Names and Unresolved Names. References and Indexes complete the work.

A List of British Lepidoptera and Their Named Varieties (Classic Reprint) by John E. Robson Pdf
Excerpt from A List of British Lepidoptera and Their Named Varieties N o synonymy is given further than the above. The degree of authority to be attached to each catalogue is open to diversity of opinion just as in all else connected with nomenclature. The greater part of the changes recently made by the German authors, are owing to the acceptance by them of Hufna gel's names, which are rejected by all other writers. They are to be found in the second, third, and fourth volumes of the Berlinisches Magazin, &c, published in 1766-7 and 9. If these names were still rejected, comparatively few alterations would be made. Doubleday' 8 list having had almost universal acceptance in this country, we have not hitherto felt the difficulties of nomen clature much. Now that the more scientific of the two leading magazines adopts one nomenclature, and the other another, we are worse than any one, for the capture of the same Species would, in numberless cases, be an nounced under different names in these two journals, and only experts would know what was meant.

A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 1 by James W. Tutt Pdf
Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 1: A d104-Book for Students and Collectors In submitting this volume to the entomological public, the author trusts that the method of treatment will commend itself. The recent work that has been accomplished in the classification of the Lepidoptera by Chapman, Dyar, Packard and others, has rendered a radical rearrangement necessary. In commencing with the more generalised, and proceeding to the more specialised, superfamilies, the author considers that he has adopted a logical course that will meet with the approval of those best qualified to judge in this matter. It has been considered better to complete thoroughly a few superfamilies rather than to attempt to deal with a large number superficially, and it is hoped that the separate treatment of the main points in the life-history of each species dealt with, will be of advantage to the various classes of entomologists - synonymists, systematists, biologists, and those that study the subject under its geographical, or any one of its philosophical aspects. A large part of a work of this description is necessarily more or less a compilation, and the author wishes here to express his obligation to those authors to whose works he is indebted for information, as well as to the very great number of entomologists (rather more than 200 in number) to whom he is indebted for local lists, and to those who have supplied him with other items of interest that have added to the usefulness and completeness of the volume. These have always been acknowledged, he believes, in the body of the work. There are many, however, who have done much more than this. To Messrs. J. H. Durrant, W. F. Kirby, L. B. Prout and Lord Walsingham, for their help in dealing with matters of "synonymy," to Messrs. A. Bacot, W. H. B.Fletcher, Drs. T. A. Chapman and J. H. Wood, for the vast amount of information relating to the "life-histories" of the insects described, to Mr. G. C. Bignell for notes on the "parasites" affecting them, to Mr. F. Lemann for copious translations from German works, to M. Oberthur for the gift and loan of many rare Anthrocerids, and to Mr. C. Fenn for the generous use of his voluminous note-books, the author tenders his sincerest and grateful thanks. Although essentially a work on British Lepidoptera, it is trusted that it will have an interest for other than purely British lepidopterists. The chapters on each superfamily cover the whole fauna included in the superfamily, and should, therefore, be of use generally to students of these superfamilies. The "distribution" of each species, too, outside the British Isles, is considered separately from the recorded localities within the limits of our own country, and should be useful to students of geographical distribution in all parts of the world. The author is fully aware that in a book containing so much detail, there must necessarily be many sins of commission and omission. He can only hope that these are not serious, and assure his readers that he has taken the greatest care to eliminate them.

A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 4 by J. W. Tutt Pdf
Excerpt from A Natural History of the British Lepidoptera, Vol. 4: A Text-Book for Students and Collectors There is one point in particular, out of many others, in which the work of these authors far surpasses our own, and that is in their mode of treatment of the variation of the species. T heir own immense collection, the visits paid by Dr. Jordan to all the leading collections on theocontinent, the loan of types from out lying countries, &c., have permitted them to attempt to deal with this phase of the subject on general biological grounds, and, in some cases, they have thus been enabled to discriminate between the literary type and the biological type, and, having determined the latter, so far as the material allowed, have arranged the various forms round it according _to their assumed phylogenetic connection therewith. For ourselves, our material has been too small and our knowledge too limited to enable us to attempt anything so extensive. N or must we forget to draw attention to their comprehensive scheme for separating the various forms, but their reasons for changing the well-known term aberration to individual variety and variety to subspecies appear to us altogether unconvincing. To assume that, because ignorant and careless lepidopterists make an erroneous use of existing terminology, reason is shown for changing the terminology, appears to us unwarrantable. In our more ignorant days we misused the terms variety and aberration, over and over again, and main tained this misuse throughout the whole of our work, Bn'tis/z [voc'tuae and Meir Van'etz'zs, but to assume that a different terminology would have abolished our ignorance is at least open to question.
