Ihe following Catalogue of the Insect Fauna of East-Green- 

 land, has chiefly been worked out from material collected by 

 the Danish Expeditions. 



In recent years, three Expeditions have been sent from Den- 

 mark to the East Coast of Greenland. In the years 1883 — 85,

 the Ryder Expedition to the district round Scoresby Sund in 

 1891 — 92, from which place a few Insects were also brought 

 back by H. Bay. 



On the Carlsberg Fund Expedition to East-Greenland which 

 in the years 1898 — 1900, under the direction of Lieutenant G.Am-

 together with the late Zoologist SörenJensen and Dr. Knud 

 Poulsen, also collected a quantity of Insects. 



Besides the knowledge that has been gained from these 

 collections, notice is also taken here of all the previously 

 published works on Insects from the East Coast. Of especial 

 interest here is A ur i vi Hi us' work on the Lepidoptera and 

 Coleoptera collected by the Swedish Expedition. 



The Greenland Insect Fauna resembles to a great extent 

 the European. The greater quantity of the species belongs to
