‘and most of the important collections, both of this country 
‘and of France, Holland, Belgium, and Italy, have passed 
‘through my hands, and many of the types are in my own 
‘collection. Herr Kuwert, however, passes the whole of 
‘this over in silence. I may add that several of his species 
“appear at first sight to be identical with my own. 
‘“The species of this genus are more difficult and obscure 
“than perhaps any other genus of the family, perhaps as 
‘“much so as those of any genus of Coleoptera. 
‘“The student now will find himself in a hopeless con- 
‘fusion, from which nothing but the collation and close 
‘examination of the types of my own, and the scattered 
‘types of Herr Kuwert’s descriptions can extricate him. 
‘‘The types, however, of all my species are in my posses- 
‘“ sion, and are, of course, accessible to any one coming here to 
“see them.”’
