HISTORY OF ENTOMOLOGY. .- 471 
quire a volume. Such was its progress and spread, that 
m every corner of Europe the pens and pencils of able 
and eminent men, whose works have almost all been 
quoted in the course of our correspondence, have been 
employed to illustrate it*. 
*“ It may not be unprofitable here to mention those works which 
the Entomologist may find it most useful to consult in various de- 
partments of the science. For descriptions of the Genera and Spe- 
cies of insects in general, he must have recourse to the Entomologia 
Systematica emendata et aucta of Fabricius, and its Supplement ; 
to the volumes he subsequently published under the titles Systema 
Eleutheratorum, Rhyngotorum, Glossatorum, Piezatorum, and Antlia- 
torum ; tothe Genera Crustaceorum et Insectorum of Latreille ; to the 
same department of the Régne Animal of Cuvier ; and to the Animaua 
sans Vertébres of Lamarck. He will find the genera of Linné and Fa. 
bricius illustrated by figures, in Reemer’s Genera; and many of the 
species described by the latter in Coquebert’s l/ustratio Iconographica. 
In our countryman Drury’s beautiful Z//ustrations of Natural History, 
a large number of new and rare insects are depicted ; and in Mr. Do- 
novan’s Insects of China, India, and New Holland, some of the most 
brilliant and interesting that have been imported trom those coun- 
tries. Panzer’s Fauna Insectorum Germanice Initia has little short of 
3000 figures of insects of every Order (a considerable number of which 
are found to inhabit Britain), by the celebrated Sturm; and the 
latter, in his Deutschlands Fauna, has illustrated many Coleopterous 
genera analytically (as has also M. Clairville the weevils and Preda- 
ceous beetles of Switzerland in his Entomologie Helvétique) by his 
admirable pencil. Beetles in general are well figured and described 
in Olivier’s splendid Entomologie ; as are those of Kurope in a beau- 
tiful work now in course of publication, under the title of Cole- 
opteres d’ Europe, by MM. Latreille and Dejean. For the Ortho- 
ptera and Hemiptera, the student must have recourse to Stoll’s Spec- 
tres, Mantes, Sauterelles, Grillons, Blattes, Cigales, and Punaises. 
To a knowledge of the species of Lepidoptera, the admirable figures 
of Cramer (Papillons Exotiques de trois Parties du Monde) Esper 
(Schmetterlinge, Tagschmetterlinge), and Hubner (Schmetterlinge, &c), 
will afford a useful avenue ; to the Hymenoptera Christian, and to the 
Diptera Meigen.
