Nürnberg, Raspe (C. J. C. Kleemann), 1785. 8vo (18.8 x 11.7 cm). 120 pp., including title. Contemporary tree calf. Spine with four raised bands; compartments with blind-tooled floral vignettes and red morocco label with title. Floral patterned pastedowns. Red edges.

A detailed catalogue of caterpillars (and butterflies) and when to find them, arranged by month. Written by Johann Mader (b. 1745). The preface is by Kleemann. A very rare work, which is seen as a supplement to Rösel van Rosenhof's famous Der monatlich-herausgegebenen Insecten-Belustigung, as well as to the works by Kleemann himself, and that of Schwarz (both principally dealing with the adult stage of Lepidoptera). Third(?) edition. First published in 1777. One more edition appeared, in 1791. All are rare, but for this one very little records could be found. Number written on title and spine foot, in an old hand; some wear to the spine, otherwise a very good, clean copy. Horn-Schenkling, 14398.
