The rare and less known paper of Mr. C. Majoli, on a precocious development of Bombyx Mom, and the notice of two deformities of Coleoptera, seemed to me not out of place in this paper.

Excerpt from On Some Insect Deformities, Vol. 2
In arranging the Lepidoptera of the collection, I found, among the insects brought home from Brazil by Professor L. Agassiz, a specimen of Morpho Eurylochus with the head of the caterpillar. The excellent condition of the large specimen induced me to compare all published observations of a similar deformity. These are few, and scattered in transactions not easily accessible. Therefore I concluded to reprint the full text for the two oldest known, and to give copies of the figures, together with those of M. Eurylochus. In the hope of having information about other similar cases, I published a provisional paper in the Stettin Ent. Zeit. (1872), p.388, and I am indebted to Professor Zeller of Stettin, Professor Westwood of Oxford, Mr. MLachlan of London, and Dr. J.L. Leconte of Philadelphia, for additional information.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a rare and fascinating subject within entomology: insect deformities. The author, a prominent entomologist, brings together a collection of instances where insects have developed with significant abnormalities, including moths with the heads of caterpillars, beetles missing elytra, and horned specimens of normally smooth-bodied species. Throughout history, such deformities have been observed and documented, offering valuable insights into the mechanisms of insect development and evolution. This book presents a comprehensive overview of these remarkable cases, providing detailed descriptions, illustrations, and expert analysis. By examining the causes and consequences of these deformities, the author sheds light on the incredible adaptability and resilience of insects and challenges our understanding of their biology. This book is an essential read for entomologists and anyone interested in the wonders and complexities of the natural world.
