Alfred Russel Wallace, the naturalist who co-discovered natural selection, collected flies as diligently as anyone. This catalog records the dipterous insects he gathered around Singapore and Malacca, family by family, from midges to crane flies. A specialist's field record from the great age of tropical collecting. For the entomologist and the admirer of Wallace's tireless eye.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
