Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on the Life History of Taphrocerus Gracilis (Say) (Beetle, Family Buprestidae)
The work which follows is intended primarily to make easier the recognition of the Lepidoptera of the State of New York, and to assem ble so far as possible the known data on their life histories, whether published or in the form of notes associated with the various collee tions. The work is, in a sense, a compilation, but largely of matter never before published. The keys, in particular, are for the most part a new venture, since for many groups of American Lepidoptera none have ever before been worked out; even the published keys to European forms are in need of revision. I cannot hope that my keys are per feet, but rather that, as a contribution in a new field, they may serve as a basis on which to-build in the search for further knowledge.
