‎Biologia Centrali-Americana. Insecta. Vol. II. The Acridiidae and the Phasmidae.‎

‎1900-1909 (reprint n.d. Ca. 1970) viii, 412 p., 8 plates, large 4to, blue cloth with gilt title on spine, upper side edges of pages gilt. Library stamps, else good copy.Well executed facsimile reprint of this classic work, of which the plates are printed on good quality, thick paper. Nevertheless even these reprints have became very scarce and are not often offered for sale.The Biologia Centrali-Americana is an encyclopedia of the natural history of Mexico and Central America, privately issued in 215 parts from 1879 to 1915.This work is still fundamental for the study of Neotropical animals, because it contains almost all that was known of the biodiversity of Mexico and Central America at the time of its publication. Leading scientists of the day were the authors of the volumes. The whole series has 63 volumes with 1677 lithograph plates (more than 900 of which are in color) depicting 18.587 subjects. In total, 50.263 species are treated, of which 19.263 are described as new. Since the Biologia Centrali-Americana was published, several volumes have been reprinted, but on the whole the series is rare in libraries and mostly absent from Latin American research institutions. The original volumes were printed on acid paper and have suffered from handling of the now brittle pages.‎
