Dear Lepidopterologists and Librarians,

We are pleased to inform you that one of the rarest books in
lepidopterology, volume 8 of the famous Romanoff's "Memoires sur les
Lepidopteres" has just been reprinted by Pensoft Publishers as a nicely
produced gross-format hardcover. The printrun is limited.

The reprint is produced on agreement with the Central Library of the Russian
Academy of Sciences.

With kindest regards,
Pensoft

Romanoff, NM. 1901. Memoires sur les Lepidopteres rediges par N. M.
Romanoff. Monographie des Phycitinae et des Galleriinae par E. L. Ragonot.
Tome VIII avec 34 planches coloriees. Reprinted by Pensoft.
Saint-Petersbourg, 210x290, species descriptions, colour plates 24-57. In
French. Hdb, 604pp. USD 180.

Volume 8 from the famous 9-volume series usually referred to as Romanoff`s
Memoires is particular not only in its being one of the largest and
certainly the rarest. Indeed, the series started in 1884 and, though volume
8 was penultimate, it appeared in 1901, i.e. a few years later than volume
9, to become, chronologically, the last in the series. The entire series is
fabulous not only in containing the original descriptions of dozens and
dozens of new butterfly and moth generic categories, and several hundred new
species-group taxa by such eminent lepidopterists of the time like Herz,
Christoph, Grum-Grshimailo, Alpheraky and many others, but also most of the
drawings being water colour. Each of the fully hand-painted volumes was
bound individually, and only a few, like volumes 7 and 9, contained
full-colour lithographs. Volume 8 became the rarest as the most unfortunate
as well, because the printrun perished in a fire when only a few copies had
been painted. The Central Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences can
boast to keep two full-colour copies of volume 8 of Romanoff`s Mйmoires.
Pensoft has recently been officially awarded with the right to reprint this
volume facsimile in order to fill in the numerous lacunae existing even in
the world`s largest biological libraries, let alone private libraries.
Volume 8 represents part 2 of Ragonot`s famous monograph on the world fauna
of Pyralidae, part 1 being volume 7 of the same series. The monograph is in
French, very richly and finely illustrated (34 full-colour plates),
containing the description of hundreds of new pyralid moths. By presently
reprinting this very rare and old book, Pensoft makes this publication
easily available and actually revived from nearly complete oblivion.

We also have just received a new stock of:

Gorbunov, PY. 2001. The butterflies of Russia (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea and
Papilionoidea): classification, genitalia, keys for identification. 300x220,
41+13 plates. In English. Hdb, 320pp. USD 55.

The butterfliy fauna of Russia is completely reviewed, with keys compiled
for the 472 species in 140 genera occurring in the country. Surveys of their
taxonomy and brief remarks on distribution and ecology are provided. The
male genitalia and some other structures of all these taxa are depicted in
more than 700 figures, 472 distribution maps, and 119 colour photos of the
butterflies are of a very high quality.
