Jekel, H. Coleoptera Jekeliana^ adjecta Eleutheratorum 
Bibliotheca. Enumeration systematique & synonymique 
des Coleopteres europeens & exotiques composant la 
collection de Henri Jekel ; Observations critiques^ de- 
scriptions d^especes nouvelJes, reproduction et traduction 
de genres et especes publies dans des ouvrages rares 
francais et etrangers de maniere a former insensiblement 
la Bibliotheque du Coleopteriste. Livr° i. Paris: 1873. 
8yo, pp. 96. 
Pp. 1-7, plan of the work : pp. 9-18, ' Coleoptera Jekeliana, Staphi- 
h'liides, Aleockarini.' Pp. 19-28, observations on the author s collections, 
&c. ; and on various Aleocharides, pp. 29-50, with descriptions of 11 new 
species of Autalia, Falagria, Thiasophila, Aleochara, Tachyusa, Oxy- 
poda, HomaJota, and Gyrophcnui, by the author ; pp. 51-96, catalogue of 
Coleoptera collected in Sicily by T. Kotschy, with reproductions of 
descriptions by L. Redtenbacher and Klug [in error for Kollar], origi- 
ginally pubhshed in Joseph Russeger's '"Voyage en Europe, Asie, and 
Afrique, de 1835 et 1841,' vol. i. The whole work is apparently litho- 
graphed ^ro/;n'o manu by the author (each species on a separate slip); 
and it is to be hoped that each entomologist will not take the hint and 
have a separate medium of publication of his own. In this instance, 
such a novelty as cursing a synonym not understood by the writer re- 
mains, for want of an editorial pen [p. 18]. For Reviews, cf. Bull. Soc. 
Ent. Fr. (5) iii. p. cxlvii. ; Pet. Nouv. p. 32G.

This continuation of a long dormant periodical is referred to in Zool, 
Rec. viii. p. 224. The present part contains full descriptions of South 
European Dascillidce, Malthinides, MalacTiiides^ and Dasytides^ by 
Kiesenwetter, mostly of species whereof diagnoses were noticed in 
Zool. Rec. viii. [see p. 277], and a revision of Dorcadion, with upwards 
of 30 new species by Kraatz. The 30th Heft is to contain a general index 
for the last 10 parts, and any continuation of the work beyond that will 
depend on the material forthcoming from other entomologists : Kraatz, 
B. E. Z. xvii. p. 222. Cf. V. Harold, C. H. xi. p. 145.
