Allorhina, Rhinochenus, Araecerus & Pachymerus — Beetle Studies

This nineteenth-century entomological plate presents four beetle species alongside enlarged studies of selected anatomical features. The printed captions identify Allorhina Hueti, Rhinochenus Rougieri, Araecerus seminarius, and Pachymerus lineola, creating a comparative study of different beetle forms.

A large, intricately patterned specimen anchors the lower center, while three smaller beetles in black, brown, and deep red are spaced across the upper field. Delicate studies of antennae and other structures sit between them. Fine linework, subtle hand coloring, small scale marks, and generous areas of warm cream paper give this scientific plate a particularly restrained graphic character.
