EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from Curtis's British Entomology, a seminal work in the field of entomology published between 1824 and 1839. Plate 634, featuring the beetle species Erirhinus aethiops, now known as Notaris aethiops, is a captivating display of natural history and scientific illustration from the 19th century. The beetle, a member of the family Lamiidae, is depicted with intricate detail and precision, showcasing its distinctive elongated antennae and vibrant, mottled exoskeleton. The illustration also includes the plant species Listera cordata, commonly known as the Lesser Twayblade, which is depicted in its natural habitat, growing in a damp, shady woodland environment. The illustration was produced during the 1820s and 1830s, a time when the study of insects was gaining significant attention and advancements in taxonomy and natural history were being made. The work of John Curtis, FLS (Fellow of the Linnean Society), and his team of skilled illustrators and engravers, was instrumental in documenting and classifying a vast array of insect species, including this remarkable beetle. The plate is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the dedication and expertise of the scientific community during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
