EDITORS COMMENTS
Fig. 5 of Plate 26 from The Cabinet of Oriental Entomology, published in 1848 by J. O. Westwood, showcases an intricately detailed illustration of Lucanus gazella, also known as the Oriental stag beetle. This tan-colored beetle is an impressive member of the Lucanidae family, order Coleoptera, and class Insecta. The Lucanus gazella is native to the Oriental region and is renowned for its distinctive, large, curved mandibles, which resemble the antlers of a stag. The anatomy of this hexapod invertebrate is fascinating. The Lucanus gazella belongs to the subfamily Lucaninae and the tribe Lucanini. Its body is covered in tiny hairs, providing it with excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The beetle's elongated, powerful mandibles are used primarily for mating displays and combat between males. The mandibles are not used for feeding, as the beetle primarily consumes decaying wood and fruit. The illustration reveals the intricate details of the beetle's anatomy, including the structure of its mouthparts, which are adapted for the unique function of the mandibles. The Lucanus gazella's antennae, located at the front of its head, are also visible, providing the beetle with the sense of touch and smell. The Cabinet of Oriental Entomology was a groundbreaking work in the field of entomology, documenting the diverse and fascinating world of Oriental insects. Westwood's meticulous illustrations, such as this one of the Lucanus gazella, continue to captivate and inspire researchers and naturalists alike, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of the natural world.
