Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique opportunity to examine type specimens of crane fly species described by entomologist R.W. Doane from 1900 to 1912. It houses a collection from Doane's personal collection, many of which are designated syntypes (part of the original type series described by the author) and even holotypes (the single specimen used to describe the species). These specimens provide an invaluable resource for taxonomists, allowing them to verify the identity of species within the genus Tipula and ensuring that species names are correctly applied in the future. The author himself, George W. Byers, has provided detailed descriptions and illustrations of each specimen's key characteristics relevant to identification, contributing greatly to the book's overall scientific value. This volume serves as a reference point for entomologists and taxonomists studying crane flies, enriching our comprehension of insect biodiversity.
