A CATALOGUE OF PHILIPPINE COLEOPTERA 



By W. SCHULTZE 

 {Manila, P. I.) 

 INTRODUCTION 



Since the publication of Baer's catalogue ^ many species of 

 Coleoptera have been described from specimens collected in 

 the Philippine Archipelago. Baer's catalogue consisted almost 

 entirely of the names of species described from Philippine ma- 

 terial; many species originally described from other localities 

 were omitted although also found in the Philippines. The 

 reason for this was probably that Philippine material is widely 

 scattered in various collections. 



Although the present catalogue is based mainly on the col- 

 lections of the Bureau of Science and of Prof. C. F. Baker and 

 my own collection, I have consulted also those in a number of 

 European institutions. In 1906 I visited the British Museum 

 (Natural History), London, and the Zoologische Museum, Dres- 

 den. In 1911 I again examined the latter collection as well as 

 the Coleoptera in the Kgl. Museum, Berlin, in the Deutsche 

 Entomologische Museum, Berlin-Dahlem, and in several large 

 private collections. I take pleasure in expressing my thanks 

 to the following entomologists for the identification of many 

 specimens: Dr. Max Bernhauer, Horn, Austria; Mr. C. Felsche,^ 

 Leipzig, Germany; Mr. Hans Gebien, Hamburg, Germany; Prof. 

 .Dr. K. M. Heller, Dresden, Germany; Dr. Karl Jordan, Tring, 

 England; Dr. Walther Horn, Berlin, Germany; Mr, J. Moser, 

 Berlin, Germany ; Dr. Fr. Ohaus, Berlin, Germany ; Mr. J. Weise, 

 Berlin, Germany. To Mr. Weise I am especially indebted for 

 help in many ways.
