My dad was an entomology professor and when he passed quite a few of his books ended up with me. I also have my own book problem, and need to thin the biblio-herd.

The Lepidoptera of New York and Neighboring States

There are two volumes that between them contain four parts, published by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. I'm offering them as a pair only; the price includes shipping via media mail. They appear to have been bound sometime after they were published, but appear to bear only personal names and a few stray marks. So they don't appear to be from an institutional library. Here's a summary description:

The first volume contains one part:

"Part 1", dated June 1923 and listed as "Memoir 68", covers "Primitive Forms, Microlepidoptera, Pyraloids, and Bombyces"

The second volume contains three parts:

"Part 2", dated June 1948, covers "Geometridae, Sphingidae, Notodontidae, and Lymantriidae"

"Part 3", dated July 1954, covers "Noctuidae"

"Part 4", dated September 1960, covers "Agaristidae through Nymphalidae, including Butterflies"

The Moths of America North of Mexico

Prices in this series include U.S. shipping via USPS Media Mail. Unless otherwise noted, volumes are in good or better condition. However, most of them are stamped "Dale H. Habeck" on the upper and lower edges.

I remember visiting, as a child, "The Wedge" property in South Carolina, which served as the epicenter of this remarkable project - especially the fully lit building with wide open windows that served as a giant moth trap. Simply amazing.
