INVERTEBRATE FAUNA OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 



The luiiiiber of known species of South Carolina Coleoptera is so great 

 that, in order to keep our list to its proper proportions, we have intro- 

 duced simply an authoritative list of the genera of the more important 

 families. For this list we are indebted to Mr. E. A. Schwarz, a Avell- 

 known Coleoptcrist. Each of these genera is represented in South Caro- 

 lina, those in italics being essentially Southern genera.
