H. St. J. Donisthorpe. 



The following species of Coleoptera taken in Kew Gardens are 



mostly new to the published list of the Wild Fauna and Flora of the 



Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The number of species recorded 



up to now is very small, and there is no doubt that more close and 



systematic working will produce many more. Specimens taken 



by Mr. G. Nicholson are marked " G. N." and those taken by 

 myself " H. J. D."
