A catalogue ofthe described Coleoptera ofthe United States,
prepared by Dr. F. E. Melsheimer, and revised by Prof. Halde-
man and Dr. LeConte, was published by the Smithsonian Insti-
tutionin 1853. This work furnished areference to allthe species
described atthe time, and known to the authororeditors, but did
not profess to indicate what were synonymes and what actual
species.
Dr. LeConte has since had in view a new and improved cata-
logue, and by his own researches, and by reference to those of
others, has endeavored to ascertain the proper synonymy of the
North American Coleoptera, adding the new species described
since the date of the Melsheimer Catalogue.
The portion of the New List, now published, includes all the
families treated of in Part I of the Classification of the Coleop-
tera of North America, by Dr. LeConte, who will complete that
work, with its companions, the "List," and the "Descriptions of
New Species of North American Coleoptera," at the earliest
practicable moment.

NOTICE.
The present catalogue was commenced in 1861,and the portion
now issued was, in great part, printed as early as June, 1862.
The official duties of the author have since left him but little time
for scientific research but believing that the catalogue, even in
;
its present incomplete condition, will be of service to students, he
has considered it proper not to retard its appearance any longer.
He trusts that at a future period he may be able to complete the
work, and in the meantime, invites contributions from all those
who have it in their power to aid him in his object of making a
personal examination of all the accessible species of Coleoptera
found within the limits of the United States, for the purpose of
presenting an authentic synonymical catalogue.
The following marks are used in the catalogue after a
:
species indicates that it is unknown to the author, who is therefore
not responsible for its value as a distinct species: signifies that
||
the name has been previously employed for another species: J de-
notes erroneous determinations Greek letters are employed to
:
distinguish forms which are considered as races of the preceding
species.
