Monographia Coleopterorum Micropterorum (1806)

Monographia Coleopterorum Micropterorum is a scientific book written by Johann Ludwig Christian Gravenhorst in 1806. The book is focused on the study of small-winged beetles, commonly known as micropterous beetles. It is considered to be one of the most important works in the field of entomology, specifically in the study of beetles.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed introduction to the classification and morphology of micropterous beetles. Gravenhorst describes the different families, genera, and species of these beetles, and provides illustrations to aid in their identification. The second part of the book is dedicated to the description of new species of micropterous beetles discovered by Gravenhorst himself.Monographia Coleopterorum Micropterorum is highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and attention to detail. It is considered to be a landmark publication in the field of entomology, and is still referenced by scientists today. The book is written in Latin, which was the language of science at the time of its publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
