INSECTA, COLEOPTERA. 
The author gives 19 excellent and highly magnified plates, in outline, of 
the most important portions of the external anatomy (including the cibarian 
organs) of all the genera, and 11 of half-bodies of all the described species; 
and reproduces in Latin the original descriptions of former authors, adding the 
revised synonymy in each case.
