SOME NOTES ON THE COLLECTIONS CONSULTED 
Where no reference is given the information concerning the present location 
of a collection was obtained from Horn and Kahle (1935-1937) and confirmed 
by correspondence with the present owner or by personal inspection of the collection. 
References are given to all other sources of information. 
Albertis, Luigi Maria d’ (1841-1901). See Beccari. 
Alluaud, Charles (1861-1949). Madagascan material (except Carabidae) and 
specimens collected in East Africa with R. Jeannel to MNHN, Paris. 
Andrewes, Herbert Edward (1863-1951). Coleoptera (except Carabidae) to 
BMNH. 
Candéze (1893c) described a number of species from the H. E. Andrewes 
collection. He appears to have retained the unique holotypes of some 
species (e.g. Pevricus sanguinolentus) which are now in the IRSNB, Brussels and 
returned half of longer series (e.g. 3 out of 6 L. pistoreus) to Andrewes. 
Bakewell, Robert (1910-1867). Elateridae via Neervort van de Poll and 
Fleutiaux to MNHN, Paris. 
Bates, Henry Walter (1825-1892). Elateridae via Janson and Godman and 
Salvin to BMNH. 
Beccari, Odoardo (1843-1892). Material collected in Java, Celebes, Timor, 
etc., with d’Albertis (1871-1876) to MCSN, Genoa. Candéze (1878a) described 
a number of species from this material but up to the present time I have 
been unable to discover whether he retained any of the specimens. If he 
did, they should be in the IRSNB, Brussels. African collection to MCSN, 
Genoa. 
Blackburn, Thomas (1844-1912). Blackburn did not publish designations of 
type-specimens or record the number of specimens on which he based his 
descriptions. He was, however, in the habit of marking one specimen of 
each species, with the letter ‘T’ in red ink. Up to the present time these 
specimens have been accepted as types. In 1910 the BMNH purchased a 
collection of 698 such ‘types’ from Blackburn. Since Blackburn obviously 
intended his type-material to be preserved in the BMNH, I have designated 
lectotypes from the material in that collection. The rest of Blackburn’s 
collection, which presumably contains the remainder of any syntype series, 
was acquired by the SAM, Adelaide and part by C. French (q.v.). 
Van Zwaluwenburg (1959 : 352, under lindensis Blackburn) states that the 
numbers on the card mounts of Blackburn’s specimens may perhaps refer 
to a locality in Blackburn’s register deposited in the SAM, Adelaide. I have 
not confirmed this. 
Bosc d’Antic, L.A.G. (1759-1825). The Bosc collection was acquired by the 
MNHN, Paris in 1828. Zimsen (1964: 17) believed that the Coleoptera had 
been lost or destroyed. The discovery of the type-material of E. pennata
