[1836–1837]. [Laporte, F.L.N. and Gory, H.] Monographie du genre Clytus. J.B. Baillières,
Paris. 124 pp. + 20 pls. (8vo) (n.v.).
This work was issued as livraisons 8–11 of Laporte and Gory’s “Histoire naturelle et iconographie
des insectes Coléoptères, publiée par monographies séparées” as listed on page 6 of
the first volume of the series. These livraisons were noticed as follows: 8: July–September
1836 (Soc Ent Fr [Annales, p. liv]), 24 October 1836 (Acad Sci Fr); 9: 24 October
1836 (Acad Sci Fr); 10: 21 December 1836 (Soc Ent Fr), 24 December 1836 (Bibl Fr),
20 February 1837 (Acad Sci Fr); 11: 15 February 1837 (Soc Ent Fr), 20 February 1837
(Acad Sci Fr). The content of each livraison is desired.
This work is dated 1835 by Agassiz (1850: 200) and Hagen (1862: 450) but Sherborn
(1922a: lxxviii) believed it was issued in 1836. A copy (titled “travail manuscrit”) was
presented to the Académie des Sciences on 14 December 1835 (Anonymous 1835: 472)
for which Duméril (1836) read a report at the academy meeting of 4 January 1836 for
approval. The work was probably printed in 1835 but accessible to the public only during
1836.
The monography was reissued under the title “Histoire naturelle et iconographie des insectes
coléoptères, par H. Gory. Monographie des Clytus. Texte et planches, tome III” by P.
Duménil, Paris, in 1841 [CNC, GB]. Due to an error by the printer, the name of Laporte
was left out on the title page and so a second title page was issued later with the
difference that “par H. Gory” was changed to “par H. Gory et F.-L. de La Porte, Comte de
Castelnau.” In the first printing, the author order was Laporte and Gory.
