PREFACE.

In presenting this work to Entomologists, I do it with the
fullest confidence of its being well worthy their acceptance.
The deficiency of a similar undertaking has long been felt,
and this can be fully appreciated when we reflect how very
inadequate descriptive language is to convey a clear and
distinct notion of the ever- varying modifications of form
observable in the insect world. Considering its scope and
object, this work, as one of illustrations in this science,
and containing 638 figures, is certainly the most complete
that has yet issued from the press ; and in artistical exe-
cution I will affirm — and which I, sharing in no portion
of that merit, may do without egotism — that there is none
yet published that surpasses it ; and for delicacy of out-
line it is unrivalled. It is very superior in execution to
Panzer and Olivier, whose plans were too vast to admit
of completion : and although it wants colour to vie with
the best, yet in careful accuracy I am convinced it is not
by that even surpassed. It has the advantage of being
done throughout from the originals, which, as many of
the genera figured are unique, could of course only be
accomplished by the kindness of the several Entomologists
in whose possession those unique and rare insects existed ;
or who, with genuine scientific liberality, furnished me for
my own collection with the means of supplying deficient
forms. To Messrs. Bennet, Desvignes, Hope, Little, Mat-
thews, Newman, Rudd, Stephens, Walton and Waterhouse,

mine and the work's best thanks are due for the unlimited
confidence with which they entrusted out of their own pos-
session their several rarities, and which, I am happy to say,
met in no instance with any casualty. To Mr. Curtis I am
also indebted for my own means of examining and for Mr.
Spry's liberty of delineating at his residence a form extant
in no other British Collection ; and likewise to the Officers
of the Zoological Department of the British Museum for the
urbanity with which they met and forwarded my objects in
the several instances I had occasion to examine their rich
stores. Having thus paid the debt of gratitude due for
being enabled to complete within the short period of twelve
months so extensive an undertaking, for which the praise
must be bestowed upon the incessant and unflinching per-
severance of Mr. Spry, it is next requisite to give some
account of my own peculiar portion of the task, as editor.
The primary object was to produce a work that should be
cheap as well as useful, and to compass the former it was
not possible to introduce dissections of the parts of the
mouth, which I freely admit are in many instances requisite
to show the distinctive differences of certain genera where
forms are closely allied, or where in long genera the species
range divergently from the types. This would of course
have incurred a great cost of time, the value of which must
necessarily have been thrown upon the work, and which
thus, although it would have acquired to a certain extent a
greater degree of utility, would from the additional expense
have limited considerably its circulation, for the Enomolo-
gists to whom a work of forms is most acceptable and use-
ful are the young. A reciprocating task is therefore left to
be performed between description and figure : to fulfil the
former several English works already exist, and it would
have intrenched considerably upon the property of those

works, (the entomological public being so small,) had the
letter-press of the present extended to a full generic de-
scription, as I consider a synoptical description worse than
useless. I therefore chose the only alternative of giving
nothing more than an outline of my own views of the distri-
bution of British Coleoptera, and a very brief specific de-
scription to exhibit the colouring of the species figured.
And even had the generic descriptions been added and
made full, it could not have precluded the necessity of
occasionally referring to other works for information which
it would not have contained without a seriously detrimental
increase of bulk and cost ; and I have, therefore, preferred
making it supplemental to all works upon the subject, to
which it will be found a desirable, important and even ne-
cessary auxiliary.

I have added a selection only of the foreign genera that
have occurred in Britain : indeed, it was of but little moment
if any of these were figured; but I did so, thinking it might
be acceptable to many, although there can be scarcely a
doubt that they have all been accidentally introduced. In
the census of species I have exercised the discretion I
thought requisite, either in limiting or interrogating the re-
pletion with which our lists are swollen. Truth should be
the object of all inquiries, and it is quite as prejudicial to
the advance of science to exaggerate as it is to depreciate
the extent of our natural productions.

CORRIGENDA.

Page 6. — Genus [44] and [50]. Transpose the names, both generic and spe-
cific, as [44] should be OlistJwpiis ; and alter at PI. 6, fig. 3, the
name Odontonyx to Olisthopus. Subsequently to Olistliopiis being
figured I discovered that no insect had yet been found combining
the characters of Olisthopus, in form and trophi, with the denticu-
lated tarsi of Taphria (Synuchus). This Mr. Stephens has since
admitted to me to have been an accidental error. I have therefore
in PI. 7 necessarily omitted Odontonyx, as not extant in nature,
but have inserted its name to show that it is purposely left out.

. Page 28. — Alter the numbering of fig. 6 into 8, 7 into 6, and 8 into 7.

Page 49. — Alter the reference of Genus [421], Tenebrio, to fig. 3, instead of
fig. 2 ; and the reference of the next genus [422], Stene, to fig. 4
instead of 3.

Note that Stene is identical with Tribolium figured in the Supple-
ment, PI. 2, fig. 5, which from haste I did not discover until
too late to cancel it. Tribolium is the name therefore to be
adopted, as it was described by Mr. Macleay in the " Annulosa
Javanica" in 1825 ; and although not originally a native, as it
now breeds here, like other domestio insects that have been in-
troduced with merchandise, it may perhaps be admitted in our
lists.
The genus Ecanus I have been obliged to omit, as I could not
obtain either the unique British or even a foreign specimen
of it.
The publication of Dr. Erichson's works since the commencement
of the present have introduced several new genera amongst the
Staphylinida?, by the dismemberment of the old genera, Antho-
bium and Lesteva — the differences however lie chiefly in the
trophi. I have therefore thought it not requisite to give figures
of them, as I could not introduce them into their proper places.

Note. — It is here that the genus Lissodema, Curt,
should be placed, instead of among the Engidce, for
its type is an insect congeneric with the Sphceriestes
quadri pustulatus, Marsh, which was the original
type of Mr. Kirby's genus Splicer testes, but the
Sph. niger having been treated as such, and as there
are evidently two forms of structure in the antennae
of the genus, it will be convenient to treat those in
which the club is gradually formed, of which the
type is the niger, and to which the one-figured be-
longs, as the genus Sphceriestes, and those in which
the club distinctly consists of three joints, as Lisso-
dema.
