BIBLIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, 
Authors and societies are requested to forward their works to the editors as soon as published. The 
date of publication, given in brackets | |], marks the time at which the work was received, unless an 
earlier date of publication is known to recorder or editor. 
A colon after initial designates the most common given name,as: A: Augustus; B: Benjamin; C: 
Charles; D: David; E: Edward ; F: Frederic ; G: George ; H: Henry; I: Isaac ; J: John; K: Karl; 
L: Louis ; M: Mark; N: Nicholas; O: Otto; P: Peter; R: Richard; S: Samuel; T: Thomas; W: Wil- 
liam. The initials at the end of each record, or note, are those of the recorder, and will be explained at the 
end of each volume. Unless otherwise stated each record is made directly from the work that is noticed. 
When there are not sufficient titles of current papers to fill the space allotted to the Record, earlier ento- 
mological publications will be recorded. In this way it is expected to include, finally, in the Record, all titles 
of papers not included in Hagen’s Bibliotheca entomologica, which treat of North American or general 
entomology, and all papers on entomology published in North America. 
Corrections of errors and notices of omissions are solicited.

405 species divided into 115 genera and 39 groups, all ex- 
cept groups described in Latin. 49 of the genera are rep- 
resented by a single species each. 62 of the species, be- 
longing to 23 genera, are North American, but only 17 
species (7 new) belonging to5 genera (dichopetala =1 new) 
are recorded north of Mexico; of these 5 genera, 2, with 
5-+3 species, are peculiar to the U. S., one only of the spe- 
cies occurring also in Mexico. Each genus (except ory- 
prora n. g.) is represented on the plate by a single species. 
The nomenclature of the neuration is discussed in the intro- 
duction, and the work is preceded by a division of the Lo- 
eustarians into 14 tribes, and a table to find the genera 
described in the work, also in Latin. S: H. S. (1491)
