Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book collects a number of entomological papers by Pierre Andrà Latreille, originally published separately between 1796 and 1807. Latreille described numerous new species and coined many names still used today. He provided additional details on the morphology and behaviours of insects, improving the accuracy of their descriptions, and clarifying their natural history. Particularly important is Latreille's work on insect classification, in which he improved Linnaeus's system, and introduced new taxonomic ranks such as 'family' and 'order', terms still used today. Latreille's work provided the foundation for the modern system of insect classification, and his descriptions and insights remain valuable to entomologists studying insect diversity.
