By Edna Mosher

Book Overview

""A Classification of the Lepidoptera Based on Characters of the Pupa"" is a book published in 1915 by Edna Mosher. The book is focused on the classification of Lepidoptera, a large order of insects that includes butterflies and moths. The classification is based on the characteristics of the pupa, the stage of development between the larva and the adult insect. Mosher's approach to classification is based on detailed observations of the pupa, including its shape, size, coloration, and the presence or absence of various structures. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of pupae from a wide range of Lepidoptera families, as well as a discussion of the classification system and its implications for understanding the evolution and diversity of these insects. This book is a valuable resource for entomologists, biologists, and anyone interested in the study of Lepidoptera.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
