Coleoptera Reprints

Excerpt from Coleoptera Very minute beetles are gummed upon small slips of paper or of mica, and these slips then pinned in the collection. A convenient kind of slip is a narrow triangle of stiff white paper, the triangle about one-fourth of an inch long, and one-sixteenth of an inch wide at the larger end. The beetle is gummed - with a mucilage of gum tragacanth or of shellac neatly across the pointed end of the triangle, which is then pinned through its broad end, and arranged in the collection.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America, North of Mexico The aim Of this catalogue is to enumerate systematically all the Species of Coleoptera described prior to January 1, 1919, which occur in America, north of Mexico, Greenland included; with consecutive numbers, synonyms, citation of original description, and an indication of distribution. An effort has been made to arrange the species in genera, tribes, families, superfamilies and series, in accordance with the most recent works on classification; an explanation of the difficulty of doing so in a satisfactory manner follows this preface. No attempt has been made to determine the validity of the numerous Specific names proposed by recent authors. Numbered names indicate species described and unquestioned in print. A letter, a, b, etc., following the numeral indicates variety, subspecies, race, etc. Names proposed by one author and disputed by another, are usually unnumbered, but are sometimes treated as varieties. Synonyms are always unnumbered, but the reader must guard against regarding unnumbered names as being invariably synonyms, for they often represent forms which, to their authors, seemed worthy of a name. The names of authors are usually abbreviated to the first three or four letters of their names; the few cases which are differently treated are explained below in the list of Signs and abbreviations used. Authors' names are usually in parenthesis if the species was originally described in a different genus; the correct placing of the parenthesis involved reference to many books and is not entirely complete. The citations are indicated by figures following the author's name; the first two are the final figures of the year in which the description was published; the remainder, separated by a hyphen, give the page on which the description occurs. In conjunction with the chrono logical list of each author's papers at the end of the book, the citation is thus given in the most condensed form possible. The distribution is indicated by the usual geographical abbreviations (explained below) for the localities given in original descriptions and in various faunal lists. Intermediate localities have Usually been omitted to save space, but particular care has been taken to include references to the extremities of the area covered, e. G., Newfoundland, Alaska.

Australian Weevils: Volume IV covers the 11 smaller tribes of the weevil subfamily Entiminae (broad-nosed weevils), which comprises more than 100 genera and 700 described species in Australia. Around half of this fauna is covered in Volume IV, featuring keys to all the tribes, genera and described species as well as updated concepts and diagnoses of the tribes and summarising accounts of the taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution and known hostplants of all the genera and species. All the introduced species of Entiminae in Australia, most of which are regarded as agricultural or horticultural pests, are included, as are descriptions of 12 new genera and eight new species and identifications of about another 240 undescribed species. The book also includes an overview of the salient characters of the Entiminae, illustrated on 18 colour plates of diagnostic features needed for identifying these weevils, alongside a further 180 colour plates illustrating the habitus and genitalia of all the genera and of several other species and their diagnostic characters. The volume further includes an obituary and full publication list of the late Elwood C. Zimmerman as well as an updated list of recent literature on the Australian Entiminae and other weevils. The book is an essential reference work for researchers and students working with entimine weevils both in Australia and abroad. It is part of the Australian Weevils series.
