Synonymical Notes No. 2 

 By Geo. H. Horn, M. D. 



The species here considered are those described in a large and rather 

 rare folio volume entitled "Insectes recueillii en Afrique et en Amerique" 



by A. M. F. J. Palisot de Beauvois, bearing date 1805. The species 

 described are of all orders and were nearly all collected by the author 

 himself during the year 1786 — 1797 and by reference to the descriptions 

 the regions of our country visited by him can readily be ascertained. 



The present essay will consider the U.S. Coleopteia mentioned by 

 Beauvois whether the species are described by him as new or quoted 

 from other authors. In the following list I have arranged the genera 

 alphabetically for easy reference and follow the species with the initial 

 B. for Beauvois, the other abbreviations being sufficiently known. 



In the case of any change in the name, whether in the genus or 

 species, the present equivalent follows the Beauvois name. 



The first attempt at a translation of the Beauvois species was made 

 by Chevrolat (Ann. Fr. 1853) but not in a very satisfactory manner as 

 many were not seen by him. A work of this kind is never very easy and 

 can best be done by one well acquainted with the separate regions from 

 which Beauvois obtained the species.
