Synopsis of American wasps
Synopsis of American wasps is a taxonomic monograph by Henri de Saussure and Edward Norton, published in Washington by the Smithsonian Institution in 1875 for entomologists and naturalists classifying wasps. Its plates show wasp specimens in dorsal view with colour-accurate wings, and detailed line drawings of heads, antennae and body segments labelled with figure numbers, offering a designer clean scientific diagram layouts and muted tan-ground plate arrangements.
