INTRODUCTION.

?

Wuen the question respecting the copyright of my “ Illustrations
was under discussion, I was strongly urged by my publishers to under-
take an abridgment of them, in order to guard against a recurrence
of the evil of which I then complained ; acting upon that recom-
mendation, I proceeded to some extent to abridge the above work ;
but, in consequence of resuming the publication thereof, I abandoned
my design, until it should be completed: circumstances wholly un-
controllable by me, however, unfortunately suspended its appearance.
I then gradually renewed my labours with regard to the abridgment,
until within these few months, when a work of a similar nature was
announced as being in course of preparation ; and, well knowing
that such an attempt could not be made without drawing largely
from my “ Ilustrations,” I proceeded with greater rapidity with my
labours, made the requisite arrangements, and my intention of pub-
lishing was declared: —the present Volume is the primary conse-
quence ; and it is proposed to add three or four others, in which all
the hitherto discovered British Insects will be concisely described, so
far as my own collections and those of my friends will afford ma-
terials. The subject is, however, so vast, and the objects frequently
so minute, that numerous species will doubtless remain for the
present, if not for ever, undetected ; although I have been unremitting
in my endeavours, during the past thirty years, to render my col-
lections as complete as possible, and have amassed by far the largest
collection of indigenous insects that has ever been formed, consisting
of nearly 100,000 specimens in their various stages, as shown by
the following enumeration, taken during the last winter :—

In this collection are included, in fine condition, the original speci-
mens described in the ‘* Coleoptera Britannica’’ of Marsham, and
also by far the greater portion of those subsequently named or mo-
nographed by Kirby, Leach, &c., throughout the different orders,
as well as of al/ the obscure species described by Haworth in “ Le-
pidoptera Britannica,’ and many of the rarer ones figured by
Donovan : to which may be added a copious selection, regardless of
cost, from Francillon’s and other collections, exclusively of those above
alluded to, and of entire collections privately purchased, that have
been disposed of at varicus periods during the past twenty-five years.

With such ample resources, therefore, I indulge a hope that they
will enable me to give a more complete synopsis of the British spe-
cies of insects than can possibly be effected by any other individual
at the present time, except by infringing upon my labours. Though
immense as the above statement appears, it may be perceived by the
following pages that above 150 truly indigenous species of Coleop-
terous insects (or Beetles) are still desiderated by me; of which a
corrected list is inserted at the termination of this Introduction.

Referring more immediately to the present work, the object of
which is to render a knowledge of the delightful sc:ence of Ento-
mology more general'y accessible, by enabling the student (at a
reasouabie cost) to obtain the names of his insects, and thereby to
register more convniently any facts that he may observe with re-
spect to their economy, &c., than when in ignorance of them ; and,
regard being had, at the same time, to portability, the descriptions
are drawn up as concisely as appears compatible with the great
extent of the subject ; all minor points being necessarily left to be
obtained from the original works, as referred to under each individual
species; and as a means of rendering the present series of volumes

—

INTRODUCTION. ¥

more compact, numerous contractions of parts (as ant, antenne, tho.
thorax, &c.) have been employed.

In drawing up the descriptions, the leading characters have been
chiefly attended to, though in some instances, perhaps, more detail
than necessary has probably been introduced ; it is, however, hoped
that enough is generally stated to enable the species to be recognised.
The principal localities are appended to each species, as well as
the kinds of places, or food, in or upon which they are found ; ex-
cept amongst the Adephaga, of which the species of the first section
(Geodephaga) are mostly found beneath stones, clods, roaming about,
&c.; while those of the second (Hydradephaga), as well as the ma-
jority of the Philhydrida, occur in water: the figures after the
localities indicate the months in which the insect most abounds ;
and those species to which this mark (-) is attached, are to be found
at all times, whilst the * denotes some of the most universally dis-
tributed and abundant kinds.

The genera and species included in parentheses are such as
appear to have been improperly introduced into the British lists ;
and the species of questionable distinction are in most instances
recorded as varieties of the one they seem allied to, but with a dis-
tinctive name.

In my “ Illustrations” I have described 3646 species of Beetles as
distinct, whereas only 8470 occur in the present work (152 of
which are in parentheses) ; arising from many of the supposed species
having been referred, as varieties or sexes, to their respective types, as
above alluded to ; especially amongst the Rhynchophora and the Bra-
chelytra: the former in most instances in accordance with the practical
observations of Mr. Walton, and the latter from those of the Rev. G.
T. Rudd, the results being kindly communicated to me, accompanied
with hundreds of typical examples, for the purpose of authentication.
To the above gentlemen in particular, therefore, as well as to my
other friends who have assisted me in my present undertaking, ] beg
to return my warmest acknowledgments for their obliging favours.

As to the Nomenclature, I have endeavoured to ascertain and to
to employ the oldest names, and in all instances to refer to the author
of the same, when known to me: inthe following pages, therefore,
the MSS names of the species are distinguished by having no figures
appended to those of their authors. I have also referred to a figure
of each species, where I had the means at hand ; though from want
of some of the illustrated works I have unfortunately been compelled
to omit a few references to figures that I have seen since the body
of the work was printed.

The following is a revised list of the species of Beetles wanting te
complete my collection to the present time; viz. —

I consider the 114 species above recorded to be really indigenous ;
and of that number I believe 63 to be unique: of those to which a *.
is annexed I possess foreign specimens ; but for British examples
of those, or of any of the above-mentioned insects, I shall be very
thankful, and will endeavour to make suitable returns to the
donors. The 71 species printed in italics are presumed to be foreign.
In the body of the work, the + denotes those insects wholly wanting
to my collection ; and the {, such indigerous ones as I possess foreign
specimens of alone.

In conclusion, I have to remark that my collections are thrown
open for inspection, &c., to any gentleman, upon the presentation of
his card, every Wednesday evening, at which time I shall be happy
to receive my entomological friends as usual.

GE ET 1) Es,

Beerizs are distinguished from other Insects by having usually 2 mem-
branaceous (posterior) wings folded longitudinally and transversely during
repose, and concealed by a pair of elytra (anterior wings or wing-cases) of a
horny or leathery texture, united down the back by a straight suture : —
they have also the mouth armed with transversely moveable jaws (mandibles),
and with 4 or 6 palpi.

Obs.— Many genera among the Carabide, Curculionide, Cantharide, &c.,
are destitute of wings : — some, as Cychrus, Blaps, many of the Curculionida,
&c., have the elytra soldered together : — others, as Molorchus, Sitaris, &c.,
have the wings exposed, or have the elytra divaricating, narrowed at the tip,
abbreviated, &c.: other exceptions likewise occur.
