Description
English entomologist William Lucas Distant (1845-1922) made two long visits to the Transvaal. The first resulted in the publication of A Naturalist in the Transvaal (1892). The second visit gave him time to amass a large collection of insects, of which many were described in Insecta Transvaaliensia (1900-1911). From 1899 to 1920 he was employed by the Natural History Museum, describing many new species found in their collection, and devoting most of his time to the Rhynchota. His other works included Volume I of the Heteroptera and part of Volume I of the Homoptera of the Biologia Centrali-Americana (1880-1900), and the Hemiptera volumes of The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma (1902-1918). Insecta Transvaaliensia: originally issued in XII parts. Publication of a second volume was prevented by the author's death. The present volume is to be regarded as complete. Includes bibliographical references. Full page color illustrations.
