2 The Philippine Jownal of Science i9i6 



In many of the early collections of Philippine insects exact 

 localities were not recorded. The term "Manila" or "Manille" 

 in many cases was used synonymously with Philippines. This 

 erroneous use of the term Manila as a geographic designation 

 was due in part to insufficient data supplied by collectors and 

 in part to the fact that the record of a more precise locality was 

 not considered of importance. Most of the botanical as well 

 as zoological specimens which are recorded as from Manila did 

 in fact come from Manila, but many of them were collected a 

 long way from that city. The use of Philippines as a locality 

 is also misleading and is too indefinite for a region comprising 

 some three thousand islands, where in numerous instances 

 species are exceedingly local in occurrence. 



In view of those facts an exact record for each species, if 

 represented in the Bureau of Science collection, is given in the 

 following order: Island, province, town, mountain or river, 

 number, and collector. 



The names of islands are printed in capitals and small capitals. 

 The numbers are those of accessions of specimens in the Bureau 

 of Science collection. The names of collectors are in italics. 

 An asterisk following the name of a species indicates that the 

 species is known to be of economic importance, and that some- 

 thing about it is to be found in the appendix to this catalogue. 

 A dagger indicates that the species is represented in my private 

 collection.

 specimens to the Bureau of Science collection of Coleoptera:
