EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a beautiful example of historical entomological illustration, featuring the Dalian Stylopid, Stylops dalii, from the renowned Curtis British Entomology series. Published between 1824 and 1839, this plate is a testament to the meticulous work of John Curtis FLS (Fellow of the Linnean Society), who dedicated himself to documenting the diverse and intriguing world of insects. The Dalian Stylopid, also known as Strepsiptera: Stylops dalii, is a unique and fascinating species belonging to the order Strepsiptera. This parasitic insect is characterized by its elongated, slender body and distinct morphology, with a prominent head and long antennae. The female Dalian Stylopid is depicted in this print, attached to a host insect, likely a Lepidopteran or a moth or butterfly. The Ledipteran host is not shown in this illustration, but it is known that the female Dalian Stylopid lays its eggs in the host's body, and the developing larvae feed on the host's hemolymph. This exquisite print showcases the intricate details of the Dalian Stylopid's anatomy, from its delicate wings to its complex reproductive structures. The illustration also highlights the intricate relationship between the parasitic Stylopid and its host, providing valuable insights into the complex world of insect interactions. The 19th century was a time of great discovery and exploration in the field of entomology, and the Curtis British Entomology series played a significant role in documenting and classifying a vast array of insect species. This print, with its stunning detail and historical significance, is a testament to the passion and dedication of John Curtis and his contemporaries in the pursuit of knowledge about the natural world.
