1896 (2nd ed.) xii, 392 p., 8 fine chromolithographed plates. Contemporary embossed cloth with gilt title on spine.Although considered by the author as the second edition of his "Handbuch für Sammler der europäischen Grossschmetterlinge" (1891), this work has little to do with the former, being twice as large, twice as thick, with eight full plates where the "first" edition had none and much more and more in-depth information on the ontogeny, phylogeny, zoogeography, and behaviour of the Lepidoptera. Many of the taxa illustrated were described by the author. An attractive and unusually fine, clean copy.
