Notices of new or Uttle-hnown Genera and Species of Coleoptera. 



By Francis P. Pascoe, F.L.S., &c. 



Part I. 



It is difficult to form any adequate idea of the number of new forms, 

 to say nothing of new species of insects, which exist in, or are being 

 constantly added to, our cabinets*. Many of these are almost hope- 



* Mr. S. Stevens has just favoured me with the sight of a collection of Coleo- 

 ptera (perhaps about a thousand species) made by Mr. Squire at Petropolia (a 

 sort of Brazilian Cintra, and a short day's journey from Rio), and although 

 the district has been repeatedly worked, and Mr. Squire was there scarcely two 

 months, yet the result of his visit has been the discovery of a vast number of 

 novelties and some new forms of a very interesting character.
