Goudot, Justin ( ). Dealer in natural history specimens in Paris. 
Lived and collected for some time in Tananarive, Madagascar. In 1830 
(Candéze, 18950: 50) he sent specimens from Imerina to H. Dupont (q.v.), 
the MNHN, Paris and MNHU, Berlin. 
Harris, Thaddeus William (1875-1856). Say based the description of several 
species (e.g. Elater obtectus, aurorata) on specimens submitted by Dr Harris. 
The Harris collection passed to the Boston Society of Natural History. Dr R. 
Lutts, curator of collections at the Boston Museum of Science informs me 
that in the late 1940’s the Society’s collections were transfered to a number 
of other institutions. Professor P. J. Darlington has informed me that the 
Harris collection, and also his notebooks, are now in the MCZ, Harvard. The 
collection appears to contain only one Agrypnine specimen which could be 
part of Say’s type-material. (See Lacon auroratus (Say) p. 57). 
Horn, George Henry (1840-1879). Coleoptera to the ANS, Philadelphia. 
Janson, Edward Wesley (1822-1891). Dealer in natural history specimens 
in London. His collection of Elateridae which included the Elateridae from 
many older collections was acquired by Dr F. D. Godman who presented it 
to the BMNH. The specimens bear the registration number 1903.130. Janson 
is known to have been in the habit of replacing old labels with his own. On 
these he generally recorded the generic, specific and author’s names, and also 
the name of the person responsible for naming the specimen. He often included 
the name of the original owner of the specimen, e.g. Lacon occidentalis Cdze. 
Cand. [identified by] Type e coll. de Laferté [original owner]. 
Kraatz, Gustav (1831-1909). Collection acquired by the DEI, Eberswalde. 
Knoch, August Wilhelm (1742: 1818). Zincken (1818) published a short biography 
in which he records that Knoch’s collection, which appears to have been 
quite a large one, was for sale at 1,000 Thaler in gold. Hagen (1862 : 425) 
records that the collection is in the ZMHU, Berlin, but Dr Hieke writes that 
the Museum appears to possess only part of the Knoch collection. Unfortu- 
nately the records of how the collection was acquired and its contents cannot 
be found. What happened to the remainder of the collection is unknown. 
La Ferté—Sénectére, F. Thibault de (1808-1866). Part of his collection was 
acquired by Janson in 1864. Janson sold most of the families separately 
but retained the Elateridae which passed, with his collection, to the BMNH. 
Some specimens bear a BMNH registration label ‘Janson Coll. ex. La Ferté 
1903.130’ while others have the ordinary Janson coll. registration labels with 
Janson’s replacement locality labels with the abbreviation ‘Laf.’ or ‘e coll. 
Laferté’. 
Lansberge, Johan Wilhelm van (1830-1905). Coleoptera to Oberthiir (q.v.). 
Duplicate material to IRSNB, Brussels, and Neervoort van de Poll (q.v.). 
Laporte, Francis L. de, Comte de Castelnau, see Castelnau.
