Coleoptera 



from the Swedish Zoological Expedition to Egypt and the White Nile. 



(With four illustrations.) 



The following pages contain a list of the coleoptera 1 col- 

 lected by the entomologist or, in a few instances, by the leader 

 of the expedition. Though the collection is proportionally very 

 small, it contains several important additions to the fauna of 

 the regions visited, and some of the species are stated to be new 

 to Science. 



All the different groups were examined by specialists, and 

 their manuscripts have here been brought together in systema- 

 tical order. As a rule the manuscripts are inserted in unchanged 

 form and therefore some of them are in French or German. (D:r 

 A. Tullgren of Stockholm has kindly helped to look over the 

 manuscripts L. A. J — d).
