Evolution of the beetle hind wing, with special reference to folding (Insecta, Coleoptera) /

The present monograph is a highly original and thorough attempt at revising the wing structure of the beetles, with special emphasis placed not only on the venation patterns observed, but also on folding. Combined, all of these patterns are critically re-evaluated to provide new, highly unorthodox i...
