Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Psyche, a Journal of Entomology, Vol. 4: 1883-1885
Altho the following paper is mainly a description of a few forms of scales of coleoptera, on some of which the scales have not before been noticed, and on others of which they have been more or less fully described, a brief outline of the history and bibliography of the knowledge of the scales of insects in general and of coleoptera in particular may not be amiss as an introduction to these descriptions.
