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. G. R. C.
