LIST OF THE MELOLONTHINI CONTAINED IN 

 THE COLLECTION OF THE INDIAN MUSEUM. 



By EDWARD BARLOW, 



Assistant in charge of Entomology. 



The following list comprises all the named Melolonthini in 

 the collection of the Indian Museum. The collection is not a com- 

 plete one, and many known species of the Indian Region are want- 

 ing : still it is worthy of attention as it contains numerous type 

 specimens, of which a good number are unique. 



The total number of species included in the list amounts to 213 

 of which 140 are Indian, while 73 are exotic. 



The synonymy and references have been worked out as far as is 

 practicable from the literature contained in the Indian Museum 

 Library, but the compiler's thanks are particularly due to Herr Ernst 

 Brenske for his unremitting kindness and assistance in identifying 

 almost all the species referred to.
