''Monographia Chalciditum'' by Francis Walker, published in two volumes in 1839, was a founding work of entomology, introducing new genera of chalcidoid Hymenoptera later to be ranked as families. The work is a compilation of descriptions published in the Entomological Magazine. In its preparation Walker used descriptions provided by the Irish entomologist Alexander Henry Haliday. The work is monographic in the sense that it includes amplified descriptions of the genera and species of previous authors and new species descriptions,thereby presenting a complete account of what was then known of the "Chalcidites". Works examined and cited are by : the German entomologist and zoologist Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger, the Swedish physician and naturalist Johan Wilhelm Dalman, the Italian Entomologist Maximilian Spinola and the English entomologists John Obadiah Westwood and John Curtis. The descriptions required the collection,study and often the dissection of a large number of specimens. The parts were: *1833. Monographia chalcidum (continued from page 384). ''Ent. Mag.'' 1(5): 455-466. *1834. Monographia chalciditum (continued from p. 39). ''Ent. Mag.'' 2(2): 148-179. *1834. Monographia chalciditum (continued from p. 309). ''Ent. Mag.'' 2(4): 340-369. *1835. Characters of some undescribed New Holland Diptera. ''Ent. Mag.'' 2(5): 468-473. *1835. Monographia chalciditum (continued from p. 369). ''Ent. Mag.'' 2(5): 476-502. *1835. Monographia chalciditum (continued from Vol. II., page 502.). ''Ent. Mag.'' 3(1): 94-97. *1836. Monographia chalciditum (continued). ''Ent. Mag.'' 3(5): 465-496. *1838. Descriptions of British chalcidites. ''Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.'' (1)1(4): 307-312. *1838. Descriptions of British chalcidites. (from p. 312 ) ''Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.'' (1)1(5): 381-387. The work is thus divided: *1839. ''Monographia Chalciditum''. Volume 1. Balliere, London. 333 pp. *1839. ''Monographia Chalciditum''. Volume 2. Balliere, London. 100 pp. ==Publication details== ''Monographia Chalciditum'' was published by Hypolitus Balliére (1809-1867), 219, Regent Street, London, Jean-Baptiste Ballière, (1797-1885) 13, Rue d' École de Médecine, Paris and by J. and G. Weigel, Leipsig (Leipzig, Germany) in 1839. The Ballière family published mainly French medical works but through tradition, since many early doctors and pharmacists studied Botany, natural history works. Also in 1839 Balliére published Haliday's Hymenoptera Britannica : Alysia at London. It is doubtful that the financially adept Balliére brothers funded either- Monographium Chalciditum was the continuation of a series of papers in the Entomological Magazine, the style of which, may have led to its downfall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monographia Chalciditum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
