Viaggio di Leonardo Fea nell'Africa occidentale 



HISTERIDAE 



By G. LEWIS F. L. S. 



This paper is written to enumerate the species of Histeridae 

 collected by the late Signor L. Fea during his last voyage when 

 he visited the Cape Yerd islands, some islands in the gulf of Guinea 

 and certain parts of tropical Africa. His route is partially shown 

 here by the localities indicated for his captures, but a full account 

 of his voyage is given in a biographical memoir by Dr. R. Gestro 

 in the Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, 

 Series 3.*, vol. L (XLI) 1904. Some of Signor Feas discoveries 

 were anticipated by Monsieur Mocquerys who visited the island 

 of St. Thomas somewhat earlier and some of whose species I de- 

 scribed in 1900.
