• Scrutiny:
  • Brock, 2018, Publication date needs checking, it appears there were different editions, the plates I have seen (1844?) were certainly published after 1838 and refer to Rhaphiderus. However, Bacteria scabrosa Perch was cited in Serville 1838: 246 and I have a hand coloured Pl. 63 [almost identical] from Griffith's Animal Kingdom dd 1832
