A 1757 natural history compendium of insects compiled by Jan Jonston, with engraved plates after Matthaeus Merian, issued in Germany for naturalists and scholars. Its plates arrange beetles, bees, wasps, caterpillars, flies and other insects in tidy rows, each specimen drawn in fine black-line engraving on a pale page with small Latin labels.
