Index to the authors of scale insect literature cited by Linnaeus

Although one of Linnaeus’ greatest achievements was to name species consistently as binomens, Linnaeus also quoted all authors’ works in a similar system. These works are important because without them many of the names he proposed for species would not be valid. This binominal system of referring to authors’ works was repeated by many later authors but Linnaeus abbreviated the references so much that it is often difficult to interpret them. I have been able to check and comment on all the references that Linnaeus cited in his works on scale insects except for two references that do not seem to be important. Many of the works are now rare and can only be consulted in some of the world’s great libraries. I have been much influenced in tracing these works by an important chapter by Heller (1959) and I have had much help from librarians in The Natural History Museum, London, the Bibliotèque Centrale du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, and the Linnean Society of London, where most of these works can be found. When the manuscript to this work was almost completed, a work appeared by Heller & Penhallurick (2007) listing all the abbreviated titles of works that Linnaeus cited in zoology. This is a remarkable work but the titles are not in complete form and not annotated for scale insect purposes.

Linnaeus was not consistent in abbreviating the references and the same abbreviated reference can appear in more than one form in his publications. The following index is given in fairly strict bibliographical form so that there can be no doubt as to which edition Linnaeus referred. Sometimes Linnaeus cited the wrong page numbers or even the wrong author. Much of the knowledge that Linnaeus gained about scale insects was from the works by Réaumur and, although many entomologists are familiar with the 1738 edition of Réaumur ( Réaumur, 1738), it is evident from the page numbers quoted by Linnaeus that he was referring to Réaumur’s 1740 edition. The pre-Linnaean works are rarely consulted but sometimes they are important in understanding Linnaeus’ concept of a species. The following works, all cited by Linnaeus in his descriptions of scale insects, are listed in strict alphabetical and numerical order. Sometimes Linnaeus referred to authors’ names without their initials but the same names may refer to different authors, occasionally father and son.

This refers to an article by Linnaeus entitled Svensk Coccionell on pages 26–30 giving a description of the insect found on the roots of Arbutus uvae ursi . Although the name is a trinomen, Linnaeus referred to the binomen Coccus uvaeursi in 1767: 742, with the same reference, thus validating the name. The article has been discussed by Williams & Gertsson (2005), who also gave a translation in English.

This citation refers to an article on pages 10–14 by Mrs de la Hire & Sidilaeu, entitled ‘Description d’un Insecte Qui s’attache à quelques Plantes étrangeres, & principalement aux Orangers’. Plate 14 shows an insect in situ apparently with a stream of eggs being laid and is remarkable for such an early date. Coccus hesperidum is an ovoviparous species, however, and the insect depicted cannot be that species.

Plate 1 shows 28 small illustrations of the male, female and ground pearls, and also includes an enlargement of the adult female antenna. This article by Burchardt was listed in error by Soulsby (1933) [1190] as though it referred to the Svensk Coccionell.

The article was published in Volume 4. The number 136 listed by Linnaeus is probably p.133 and entry p. 37 probably refers to the 37 pages of the actual article. The entry n. 9 refers only to the name No. 9. Pediculus clypeatus. Soulsby 1104 stated that this paper was submitted to the Society on Feb. 12, 1739 and not published until 1742, but actually 1748.

An account on page 27 refers to Observatio VIII, which must be obs. 8 indicated by Linnaeus. This is an article entitled D. GEORGII SEGERI [D. Georgius Segerus], POLYGONUM POLONICUM COCCIFERUM Seu CHERMESINUM POLONICUM. Instead of citing the author of Observatio VIII, Linnaeus cited Berniz (Martin Bernard Bernitz) in error, the author of Observatio I in the same publication.

Bocc. mus. t. 107. f. XXIII. h. h. Coccus rusci . 1767: 741.

Paulo Boccone, 1633–1704.

I have not been able to check this reference. Boccone published two works that Linnaeus could have cited as Bocc. mus. Boccone edited the first as Museo di Fisico e di Esperenzi Varioto, e decorato di Osservazioni Naturali, Note Medicimali, e Ragionimenti secondo I Principij de moderni, 310 pp. This work is cited as Bocc. mus. 1. in Heller & Penhallurick (2007) citing Linnaeus’numeral 1 to distinguish the work from the second work. There is no numeral 1 in Linnaeus’ reference to Coccus rusci above. I have checked every page in the copy belonging to The Natural History Museum, London and, with the help of Danièle Matile, we have checked each page of the volume in the Bibliotèque Centrale du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris and we have not been able to match any page or figure that correspond to Linnaeus’ reference.

Boccone’s second work is Museo di Piante Rare della Sicilia, Malta, Corsica, Italia, Piemmonte, e Germania Dedicato Ad Alcuni, Nobili PatritiiVeneti Protettori della Botanica e delle Buone Lettere, 196 pp. This work is entirely devoted to plants and fungi and there is nothing to correspond with Linnaeus’ citation. The reference cited by Linnaeus has been repeated many times by subsequent authors.

Breyn. act . angl. 421. Coccus polonicus . 1761: 266.

Johann Philipp Breyn, 1680–1764.

The journal is the same as Act. angl. above but Vol XXXVII for the years 1731, 1732. Printed for W. INNYS and R. MANDBY, Printers to the Royal Society, at the West End of St. Paul’s. 1733.

The number cited by Linnaeus refers to Article Number 421. For the Months of October, November and December, 1731.

On pages 216–218, there is an article: V. An account of a Book entitled, J.P. Breynij M.D. &c. Historia Naturalis Cocci Radicum Tinctorij, quod Polonicum vulgò audit. 4 to Gedani, 1731. Cum Figuris coloribus nativis pictis. By Richard-Middleton Massey, M.D.F.R.S. and Honorary Fellow of the College of Pysicians.

This article is written in English and refers to Breyn’s account of the Polish cochineal insect listed below as Breyn. E. N. C. 1731. Because many students of scale insects have no access to Breyn’s works, always written in Latin, this interesting article by Massey is now given in full.

“The Author (after having briefly accounted for the two Kinds of the Cocci Tinctorij now in Use, viz. that of Pliny collected from the Ilex , and the American Coccus , or Cochinil) proceeds to give us the Natural History of the Coccus Polonicus , which he calls Radicum, because it is chiefly found adhering to the Roots of the Polygonum Cocciferum , * Kosmaczeh Polonis C B [* Kosmaczek Pilosella. Herbario Polon.]. This he takes to be the Polygonum Germanicum , incanum, flore majore perenii Raij. Of which he has given a Print with the Cocci, as they stick to the Roots.

The Coccus he says, is found sometimes single, sometimes more, even forty adhering to one Plant, of different Sizes, from a Poppy-seed to that of a white Pepper-corn. It is roundish, smooth, and of a Purple Violet Colour, and a thin Cuticle incloses a Blood-red Succus: One Half or more of it is covered with a rough, dark, brown Crust, by which it adheres to the Roots.

The Countrymen gather it about Midsummer, and dry it with a slow Fire in Earthern Platters.

Several of these Cocci he exposed to the Sun in open Glasses, and found that by the 24th of July every one, according to its size, had excluded a small Worm with six feet. That Part which seemed to be the Head, had two short carnose Antennae; for he could not perceive with Glasses any thing like either Mouth or Eyes. On the Back Length-ways, were two Sulci, which were more or less visible, according to the different Motions of the Animalculum. Its feet seemed armed with Claws, and the first Pair stronger and darker than the rest. The whole Worm was an obsolete Purple Colour, and had several Bristles of a brown Grey.

These, after ten or fourteen Days, lay in a State of Rest, and soon became covered with an exceeding white fine lanuginose Substance; in which Condition they continued five or eight Days longer, and then laid their Eggs, fifty, one hundred or more a-piece; which to the naked Eye appeared but like so many red oblongish Points but with ’Glasses looked like Ants Eggs, almost transparent, with a diluted Blood-red Content.

These Eggs being again exposed in the Sun about Bartholomew -Tide, were hatch’d a Month after, when some Vermiculi were excluded, which in the Microscope appear’d to be Hexapods of a purplish Hue, with two Antennae at their Head, and two greyish Bristles at their Tails, scarce visible except upon black Paper.

He supposes these last excluded Vermiculi, after some Wanderings, at last fix themselves to the Roots, and some of the lowest contiguous Branches of the Polygonum , where being deprived of local Motion and Sense, by some Way or other they imbibe that Succus from the Plant, and at last become Blood-red Succus so useful in Dying.”

The appendix to this volume, pp. 1–32. contains Breyn’s account of the Polish cochineal insect. It appears be to a verbatim account of his 1731 publication listed by Linnaeus as Breyn. E.N.C. 1731. (q.v.). The title page of the article is the same except that, whereas the 1731 publication contains a coloured plate, the title page of the 1733 is shown as CUM FIGVRIS AERE EXPRESSIS.

Heller & Penallurick (2007) list this reference under Nürenberg. Apparently the citation refers to a reply by Breyn to a review of his Prodromi faciculi &c (see below) but so far I have not been able to see the reference that Linnaeus quotes.

This is regarded as the standard work by Breyn on the Polish cochineal insect. There are 2 figures, both Fig. 1. One is coloured and the other in black and white. The work includes 2 pages of Explicatio Figurarum and 4 pages entitled Ionnis Philippi Breynii, M.D., Corrienda & emendanda. The coloured plate was reproduced by Jakubski (1965) in his work on the families Margarodidae and Termitococcidae.

As indicated by Linnaeus, on page 84, Chap. XXIII, under De Knawel, there is an entry A1 Knawel followed by A2 Polygonum cocciferum , Polygonum Polonicum cocciferum . It must have been this edition cited by Linnaeus because the third edition seen in The Natural History Museum, London, has different pagination. The fourth edition has also been studied in the Bibliothèque Centrale du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris.

The copies in The Natural History Museum, London, are in three bound volumes, apparently originally published in decads. The first volume contains DECAS I–V with TAB I – TAB XLIX. Figure 5 View FIGURE 5 on TAB. I, as indicated by Linnaeus, shows three small drawings of the insect in various aspects. The description given on the opposite page is as follows:

5. Scarabeolus Hemisphaericus Cochineelifer Cochinilla &c Coccinella Offic. Dale 539.5. COCHINEAL. Act. Phil. 176. p. 1202 & No 193. It is here represented in its several states, that is to the right being the Beetle, to the left the Chrysalis, and below as we have them in the Shops!

It must have been this edition seen by Linnaeus because the first collected edition published in Milan in 1764 is too late to be included by Linnaeus in 1758.

DE REAUMUR, ¦ de l’Académie Royale des Sciences, de celle ¦ de Petersbourg, & de l’Académie de ¦ l’Institut de Bologna, Commandeur ¦ & Intendant de l’Ordre royal ¦ & militaire de Saint Louis, ¦ TOME QUATRIEME, PREMIERE PARTIE. ¦ Histoire des Gallinsectes, des Progallin- ¦ sectes, & des Mouches a deux ailes. ¦ (woodcut) ¦ A AMSTERDAM, ¦ Chez PIERRE MORTIER. ¦ M. DCC. XL.

This 8vo edition was printed in eight volumes (1737–1740). Volume IV, pp. I–XLL, 364, with Plates 1– 20 contains MEMOIRES 1–5. The first is entitled PREMIER MEMOIRE, HISTOIRE DES GALLIN- SECTES, pp. 1–104 with plates 1–6. The second is entitled SECONDE MEMOIRE. DES PROGALLI- NECTES, DE LA COCHENILLES, Et de la graine d’Ecarlate de Pologne, pp. 105–157, with plate 7. This volume has a similar title page except for SECONDE PARTIE, and contains MEMOIRES 7–13, with plates 21–44.

An earlier 4to edition of Volume 4 (all in one volume) was printed in Paris in 1738, pp. xxxiv, 636, and it is this edition that is normally quoted. The Amsterdam edition, 1740, contains the same plates as the 1738 edition except that the figures are arranged differently. It must have been the Amsterdam edition that Linnaeus cited. The clue appears in 1761: 266, when Linnaeus cited Mémoire 2, page 143, for Coccus polonicus , where Réaumur discussed “coccus tinctorius Polonicus”. The discussion of this insect appears on a different page in the 1738 edition. The following citations by Linnaeus, either as Reaum. gall. or Reaum. ins., are all deemed to be taken from the 1740 Amsterdam edition.

Reaum. gall. 4. t. 1. f. omnes. Coccus hesperidum . 1761: 264.

The citation “ omnes” refers to all of figures 1–9 on Plate 1, where Réaumur illustrates various aspects of this insect, unmistakably Coccus hesperidum as we know it today.

Reaum. ins. 4. p. 1. Coccus polonicus . 1758: 456; 1767: 742. This is the same reference to Coccus polonicus in Reaum. gall. above.

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 1. Coccus hesperidum . 1758: 455; 1767: 739. This refers to Plate 1, above, the same reference as in Reaum. gall. above.

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 2. 5. f. 5-7 & alia t. 7. f. 1-10. Coccus ulmi . 1758: 455.

In his 1758 work, Linnaeus cited these plates of two different species of gallinsectes described by Réaumur. The first on plate 5, figures 5–7, undoubtedly shows an armoured scale on Ulmus campestris and by referring to this as Coccus ulmi in 1758, the name has been accepted as valid for the species commonly known as Lepidosaphes ulmi (L.) today.

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 3. f. 1-3. Coccus tiliae . 1758: 456; 1767: 741.

The name Coccus tiliae , that Linnaeus referred to as living on Tilia europaea , is widely accepted as valid for the soft scale insect that we know today as Eulecanium tiliae (L.) in the family Coccidae and figures 1–3 on plate 3 in Réaumur that Linnaeus cited, unmistakably show this species. The name tiliae Linnaeus, 1758 , as published in the binomen Coccus tiliae , was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (Name Number 2940) under Opinion 1303 by Melville (1985).

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 3. f. 4-10. Coccus coryli . 1758: 456; 1767: 741.

Réaumur gives seven excellent figures of various stages of this species (gallinsecte du noisaetier) on Plate 3 to which Linnaeus referred in his entry for Coccus coryli .

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 5. Coccus ilicis . 1758: 455; 1767: 740.

Plate 5 in Réaumur shows a small branch of Quercus ilex with adult female insects in situ in figure 1. Single insects on each of figures 2–4, show the general patterns on the surface.

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 6. f. 1–4 & alia f. 8. 9. 10. Coccus quercus . 1758: 455; 1767: 740.

Figures 1–4 in plate 6, show aspects of the kidney-shaped species on Quercus robur and figures 8–10 show separate insects.

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 6. f. 5–7. Coccus vitis . 1758: 456; 1767: 741.

Figures 5–7 View FIGURE 5 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 on plate 6, as indicated by Linnaeus, show illustrations of the species recognisable as Pulvinaria vitis (L.) as we know it today.

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 6. f. 11. 12. Coccus oxyacanthae . 1758: 456; 1767: 742.

Réaumur’s figures 11 and 12 on plate 6, cited by Linnaeus, show adult females on a twig of Crataegus oxyacantha of the scale insect species now known as Pulvinaria oxyacanthae (= vitis ).

Reaum. ins. 4. t. 7. f. 11–19. Coccus cacti . 1758: 457; 1767: 742.

Figures 11 View FIGURE 11 –19 on plate 7 in the Seconde Mémoire, Des Progallinsectes, show different views of the adult female and immature cochineal insects of commerce cited correctly by Linnaeus, although he described a different insect.

Scalig. exerc. 325. n. 13. Coccus polonicus . 1761: 265.

Julius Caesar Scaliger, 1484–1558.

I have seen two editions of this work dated 1557 and 1615 in the Bibliothèque Centrale du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris. Both refer to Number 13 as indicted by Linnaeus. It is not clear which edition Linnaeus cited and he may have seen others. The two editions seen for this work are listed here.
