NEW SPECIES OF THE COLEOPTEROUS GENUS 

 COLLOPS ER. 



BY CHARLES SCHAF. FFER, 

 Museum of the Brooklyn Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



Special help employed last year at our Museum to catalogue the col- 

 lections made it necessary to rearrange certain boxes as well as to identify 

 unnamed species. In the genus Collops several species collected on our 

 museum trips, and from other sources, proved to be new, were given 

 names and entered in our catalogue. It was my intention to revise the 

 entire genus later on and the descriptions of the different forms drawn were 

 kept back for this reason. However, as I have for some reason, to delay 

 at present a revision of this genus, the descriptions of the new species are 

 published ni advance, in order that the names entered in the catalogue 

 may stand. 



The measurements of the species herein described are taken from 

 specimens with the head deflexed.
