Part of the Entomologica Series (42), this book traces the study of these beetles from their beginnings in 1758 with Scandinavian entomologists like C. von Linne and I.C. Fabricius. As systematic entomology expanded during the 19th century, researchers began describing new species and genera from across the globe. This text covers how the focus on Chrysomelidae moved beyond simple systematics to include new lines of research. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the scientific progression and diverse biological studies surrounding these insect groups.
