Catalog Of The Heteroptera Or True Bugs PDF Download

Excerpt from Heteroptera, or True Bugs of Eastern North America: With Especial Reference to the Faunas of Indiana and Florida AS in my former works, this manual has been prepared mainly for the use of the tyro and not for the specialist who has a large library at his command. For that reason it has been couched mainly in simple and easily understood language. Characterizations of all families and of most genera are given in some detail, with keys leading up to their treatment. Keys to and full descriptions of all Species are then given in proper sequence. These keys are based on the more salient and important structural or color characters separating the groups or Species to which they pertain, the primary object being to give to the student a work by which he can readily Obtain the scientific name of the specimen in hand. In most in stances, to avoid repetition and save Space, the characters mentioned in the keys are not repeated in the descriptions which follow, and the keys Should, therefore, alavm's be used in connection with the descriptions. Moreover, the characters used and statements made both in keys and descriptions are for the most part to be considered as applying only to those species occurring in the territory covered by this work. They may be, and doubtless are, capable of much wider application, but it is not safe to assume that such is the case.
