Description: | [Australia] From loose drawer HU/A/10 matching in style other drawers built into cabinets ex William Hunter's insect collection. No cabinet label in place but it appears to be an example of a group characterisitic of the Australian/Pacific fauna. Therefore, it may be a specimen from Captain Cook's first voyage when Joseph Banks was on board. There is one species of this group described by Fabricius from this voyage as *Musca retusa* in 1775. This specimen should be identified specifically and compared with the one in Banks' collection in London. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARTHINSECT : DIPTERA : TACHINIDAE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
