seem as appropriate now as the original balance was when Dr A. D.
Imms' textbook was first published over fifty years ago. There are
35 new figures, all based on published illustrations, the sources
of which are acknowledged in the captions. We are grateful to the
authors concerned and also to Miss K. Priest of Messrs Chapman
& Hall, who saved us from many errors and omissions, and to Mrs
R. G. Davies for substantial help in preparing the bibliographies
and checking references. London O. W. R. R. G. D. May 1976 Part III
THEORDERSOFINSECTS THE CLASSIFICATION AND PHYLOGENY OF INSECTS The
classification of insects has passed through many changes and with
the growth of detailed knowledge an increasing number of orders has
come to be recognized. Handlirsch (1908) and Wilson and Doner
(1937) have reviewed the earlier attempts at classification, among
which the schemes of Brauer (1885), Sharp (1899) and Borner (1904)
did much to define the more distinctive recent orders. In 1908
Handlirsch published a more revolutionary system, incorporating
recent and fossil forms, which gave the Collembola, Thysanura and
Diplura the status of three independent Arthropodan classes and
considered as separate orders such groups as the Sialoidea,
Raphidioidea, Heteroptera and Homoptera. He also split up the old
order Orthoptera, gave its components ordinal rank and regrouped
them with some of the other orders into a subclass Orthopteroidea
and another subclass Blattaeformia.
