Order COLEOPTERA

The list of Coleoptera is based on published lists and numerous manu- 

 script communications. It is fairly complete in some families, especially 

 for the southeastern part of the State v^here records have been obtained 

 from many collectors in New York City and vicinity. In the Rhyn- 

 chophora and in the Staphylinidae and other families of small beetles, 

 however, many names may be added by further study and collecting. On 

 the other hand, a few of the names included may eventually prove to be 

 synonyms. The distribution of some species within the State is imper- 

 fectly shown because records for them are lacking from the central and 

 western counties. Using as a guide those species for which the records 

 are comparatively complete, it is evident that there are on Staten Island, 

 on Long Island, and in the lower Hudson Valley, a considerable number of 

 southern species ; and in the higher parts of the Catskill and Adirondack 

 Mountains, a number of northern species. Otherwise there is no clear 

 evidence in the records assembled of any strong faunal boundary within
