Book Overview

On The Diptera Or Two-Winged Insects Of The Amber Fauna is a scientific book written by Hermann Loew in 1864. It is a comprehensive study of the Diptera, a group of insects commonly known as two-winged flies, that were preserved in amber. The book provides a detailed description of the physical characteristics, behavior, and distribution of the Diptera found in amber, as well as their significance in the study of evolution and paleontology. Loew's research is based on the examination of more than 1,500 specimens of Diptera, which were collected from various locations around the world. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of entomology and is still widely cited by researchers today. It is written in a technical style and is intended for professional entomologists, paleontologists, and other scientists interested in the study of insects and their evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
