Description: | Madeira This species was described from Madeira using specimens from Joseph Banks' collection. This means that they probably were collected during the outward journey on Captain Cook's first voyage. The Endeavour called in to Madieira, September, 1768. As with many other species described by Fabricius from Banks' collection, duplicates were placed in Hunter's cabinet so these specimens are probably from the original type series.
Many of the specimens in Hunter's eighteenth century collection were utilised by Fabricius and other contemporary entomologists for describing new species. | 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 : HUNTER 2007 : NEUROPTERA : MYRMELEONTIDAE : | 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 |
