Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America, North of Mexico, 1920 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.

Book Description
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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fourth Supplement, 1933 to 1938 (Inclusive), To the Leng Catalogue of Coleoptera of America, North of Mexico It would seem to be axiomatic that the fourth of a series of supplements should conform in procedure and treatment with the previous parts. In spite of this a glance at the present work will suffice to show that it departs widely from the other supplements. The reasons for these changes are outlined below.

Book Description
Excerpt from Second and Third Supplements, 1925 to 1932 (Inclusive), To Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America, North of Mexico In the second supplement to the Catalogue of Coleoptera of America, north of Mexico, we record the species, subspecies, and aberrations, described during the period from January 1, 1925, to December 31, 1930. As in the catalogue and first supplement, the new species are serially numbered, With subspecies and varieties indicated by the addition of a letter to the serial number of the species with which they are allied. An unusual number of names have been proposed for so-called aberrations; these have not been numbered, but are not necessarily synonyms. Many are recog nizable variations which, however, have been regarded by some author or reviewer as of less than subspecific rank.

Book Description
Excerpt from Check List of the Coleoptera of America, North of Mexico The present list is intended only as a means of facilitating exchanges among coleopterists, and hence must not be held as having any authority; synonyms are omitted, except where necessary to connect this work with Dr. Leconte's List from which it has been prepared. Numerous changes have been made in the synonymy, mostly based on' comparisons made by Dr. Leconte in Europe, and already indicated in various papers by himself and Dr. Horn; others on personal examina tion of the species by myself, and for these I am alone responsible. For certain changes in the arrangement, whereby the Coccz'nellidce, Erotylidoe and Endomychz'doe find their place in the Clavicorn series, I also accept the responsibility; as also for the changes in generic names, the reasons for which have been fully explained by me in previous papers. The various irrecognizable species of Motschulsky, and the earlier authors have been omitted altogether. Finally, I desire to express my gratitude to Dr. Horn, who has kindly consented to read the proofs of this list which, without his innumerable suggestions, would have fallen very far short of even its pres ent state of completeness.
