Aegires punctilucens- original illustrations

July 12, 2005
From: Bill Rudman


To accompany my discussion [message #14248] on Aegires punctilucens and A. exeches here are two of the original illustrations of A. punctilucens from D'Orbigny (1837: Fig 106, figs 1, 3).

These show the symmetical arrangement of the pustules, which have a flattened tip, and the chracteristic blue or greenish spots, each surrounded by a brownish patch which is outlines with small black spots.
