The Elements of Insect Anatomy (Classic Reprint): An Outline for the Use of Students in the Entomological Laboratories of Cornell University and Leland Stanford Junior University - Softcover
Synopsis
Master the language and structure of insect anatomy with a clear, lab-ready guide. This edition presents terminology, orientation, and study methods essential for students in entomology labs, with detailed focus on external anatomy and comparative anatomy across beetles and other orders.
Structured to support hands-on learning, the book explains position and direction terms, demonstrates how to describe body parts, and guides students through careful observation, drawing, and practical examination of specimens. It also covers wing venation and the preparation of wings for microscopic study, making it a valuable reference for building accurate observational skills in the field and the lab.
- Clear definitions of positional terms and six cardinal directions to standardize lab descriptions.
- Detailed treatment of the head, mouthparts, and other external features of beetles, with emphasis on recognizable sclerites and landmarks.
- Guidance on wing venation, measurement, and preparation techniques for accurate study and display.
- Illustrative prompts and notes that support drawing, labeling, and comparison across insect groups.
Ideal for students and educators seeking a practical, example-driven introduction to insect anatomy and comparative structure.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book outlines a plan of study in insect anatomy for university students. It is for those with a limited amount of time to study entomology but who desire to learn more about the anatomy of insects. The outline describes the external anatomy of a locust, the internal anatomy of a dobsonfly larva, the external anatomy of a beetle, a butterfly, the mouthparts of various insects, and the venation of insect wings. It was prepared by two professors with many years of experience teaching entomology at Cornell University and Leland Stanford Junior University. The plan they offer allows students to learn the more general features of the structure of insects and although it has been prepared especially for students who devote only a short time to entomology, it may serve as an introduction to a more extended study of the morphology of insects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334725692_0
