Scheiding bibliography (1963) use the name Castelnau. Personal preference 
is the reason for the use of Castelnau is this work. 
Chevrolat, Louis Alexandre August (1799-1884). At his death his Elateridae 
were acquired by Fleutiaux and are now in the MNHN, Paris. Fleutiaux 
retained Chevrolat’s large coloured determination labels. The specimens 
also bear a printed ‘Collection Chevrolat’ label. 
David, Armand (1826-1900). His first collection was destroyed. Later col- 
lections were broken up: part was acquired by the MNHN, Paris, part by 
Oberthur (now in MNHN, Paris) and part by the Institut Catholique de Paris 
[not confirmed]. At his death his private collection was acquired by Oberthiir. 
Dejean, Pierre Francois Marie Auguste, Comte (1780-1845). Elateridae via 
H. L. Gory, La Ferté Sénectére, Janson and Godman & Salvin to BMNH. 
Deyrolle, Achille (1813-1865). Elateridae passed via Janson to BMNH. I have 
assumed that the Deyrolle to whom Candéze refers in the Monograph is 
A. Deyrolle and not his son Emile or brother Henri. 
Dohrn, Carl August (1806-1892). His collection was acquired, part direct and 
part through his son, by the Museum fiir Naturkunde, Stettin (Szcezin). At 
least part of the Stettin collection is now preserved in the IZPAN, Warsaw. 
Dupont, E. ( ) and (Richard) Henry (1798-1873). The Dupont brothers 
were dealers in natural history specimens trading in Paris. They also under- 
took collecting expeditions. Germar (see Agrypnus terrenus (=crenatus Klug) 
p- 144, turbidus, p. 224, probably obtained some of his material from the 
Duponts. In 1846 Mniszech (q.v.) obtained a collection of Elateridae from 
Dupont (Candéze, 18950 : 51) and another collection acquired by Reiche passed 
to Janson (q.v.). 
Elston, Albert H. (1890- ). Elston generally based his descriptions on an 
unrecorded number of specimens from several localities adding ‘type in the 
author’s collection’ or ‘in the South Australian Museum’ [Adelaide]. He did 
not record the location of the rest of the material. Elston’s collection is 
now in the AM, Sydney. Neboiss’s (1956, 1961) records suggest that where 
Elston’s ‘type’ is in his own collection, some or all of the remaining specimens 
were acquired by the SAM, Adelaide, and where the ‘type’ was in that museum, 
some or all of the remaining material was retained by Elston and is now in 
the AM, Sydney. 
Since Elston did not publish any means of identifying his types, lectotype 
designations should be made, but with due regard to Elston’s intention con- 
cerning the location of the type. In this work, where Elston’s specimens 
are preserved in more than one place the first named corresponds to the 
location of Elston’s ‘type’. 
Eschscholtz, Johan Friedrich (1793-1831). Collection in ZMU, Moscow and 
also some material in ZMU, Helsinki. Not confirmed.
