London: Spring Books, 1965. hardcover. Book VG-: age/soil to boards and spine, foxing to endpapers, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. Vladimir Bohac. 4to 151pp. second impression, 1965. from Introduction: "Prosaic scientific treatises cannot do justice to the colour and form of these living jewels. To portray them an artist must use all the colours of his palette and even then will require more than ordinary skill to reproduce the metallic shimmer seen in some of the tropical chafers. Neither can they record the delight of a collector who discovers the rare species which has eluded him for so long, nor the excitement of the scientist who sees the solution to a problem upon which he has been labouring for months. What follows is only a small fragment of the vast range of shapes and colours exhibited by beetles; no more than a glance at the seemingly boundless treasure house of the living world." #01951.
