Although my interests are mainly in the field of ornithology, I recently came across the following, which is full of useful information, including biographical chapters on authors, collectors, grammar, and etymology, and should find a place in any natural history library;
'The Naming of Australia's Dragonflies', by Ian Endersby & Heinrich Fliedner, 2015. Busybird Publishing, Eltham, Victoria, Australia. xiii + 278 pp.
ISBN 978-1-925260-62-5 (paperback).
