Shield-winged (Coleoptera from KoXeo'e, sheath, covering, shield, and 

 Trrepov, wing), with Fabricius Eleutherata. We have on this 

 numerous order of insects amongst others the following works : 



J. E. YOET, Catalogue systematicus Coleopterorum, Hag. Com. 

 .769 1806, 4to, ii parts. With (1st part 55, 2d part 50) beautifully 

 )loured plates ; those of the first part mostly engraved by KLEEMANN 

 id some by ROZSEL, and a very useless Latin, French, and Dutch 

 jxt. G. W. F. PANZEK has supplied a german edition of it with 

 te addition of the synonymy. Erlangen, 1793 1798.

 teres.) Paris, 1789 1808, vm Tomes, 4to, av. (363) pi. enluminees. 

 (The plates make up the last two parts). STURM has given a less 

 costly edition of the plates, but not complete. Niirnberg. 1802, 

 1803 (96 plates). ILLIGEK undertook a German edition of the 

 text.

For the anatomy the above-cited Monograph on the Cockchafer 

 by STRAUS DURCKHEIM may be consulted (see above, p. 256), and 

 also the numerous investigations of LEON DUFOUR, which extend 

 over the whole of this order. Ann. des Sc. natur. Tom. n, m. 1824, 

 iv, v, vi. 1825, vm. 1826. 



This order is distinguished from the preceding by the complete 

 metamorphosis, as also by the absence of a galea, howsoever in some 

 two pairs of maxillary palps are present, and morphologically the 

 innermost palps do not differ from the galea of the Orthoptera.
