And it was hard to get Cetoniidae boxes (an Internet bidder had a lot of money !!)!!!! Michel, were you at Drouot today ? I was there yesterday, but just at the beginning of the sale to buy some of the books, and I left just when the zalmoxis pair was sold ... A+, Michel

Yes Zac, it seems to be recent on ebay. The other day I bid on an automobile part, but the answer was the same as yours ! I contacted the seller and he said I should have contacted him prior to the end od the sale so he could have authorized my bids ... This happen when you see : " this seller may not ship to your country " That was on ebay UK, and the seller explained that ounce he had an Indian (a guy that lives in India lol) purchasing a cheap refrigerator he had on sale, and he obviously did not accept the shipping cost !!!

Well Nomihoudai, on the last one received, I can not even identify who is the publisher of the book, and once payment was made no one will answer !

Also it is true that d'Abrera works are not always accurate, but since Seitz work, it was the only worldwide serie published ! The task was enormous, and obviously could not be perfect on every family and every species of the world.
When Tennent will have published such a tremendous work, he will be more than welcome to critisize in such a way ...
A+, Michel
P.S. : It does not mean that Tennent work on Vanuatu, North Africa or Solomon islands are not very well written !

I believe all this depends on how you killed the specimen, as some chemicals make specimens very stiff !
