For various schemes of classification of the _Coleoptera_ see E. L.
Geoffroy (_Insectes qui se trouvent aux environs de Paris_, Paris,
1762); A. G. Olivier (_Coleopteres_, Paris, 1789-1808); W. S. MacLeay
(_Annulosa Javanica_, London, 1825); the general works of Westwood and
Sharp, mentioned above; M. Gemminger and B. de Harold (_Catalogus
Coleopterorum_, 12 vols., Munich, 1868-1872); T. Lacordaire and F.
Chapuis (_Genera des Coleopteres_, 10 vols., Paris, 1854-1874); J. L.
Leconte and G. H. Horn (_Classification of Coleoptera of N. America_,
Washington, Smithsonian Inst., 1883); L. Ganglbauer (_Die Kafer von
Mitteleuropa_, Vienna, 1892, &c.); A. Lameere (_Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg._
xliv., xlvii., 1900-1903); and H. J. Kolbe (_Arch. f. Naturg._ lxvii.,
1901).

For the British species, W. W. Fowler (_Coleoptera of the British
Islands_, 5 vols., London, 1887-1891) is the standard work; and W. F.
Johnson and J. N. Halbert's "Beetles of Ireland" (_Proc. R. Irish
Acad._, 3, vi., 1902) is valuable faunistically. Among the large
number of systematic writers on the order generally, or on special
families, may be mentioned D. Sharp, T. V. Wollaston, H. W. Bates, G.
C. Champion, E. Reitter, G. C. Crotch, H. S. Gorham, M. Jacoby, L.
Fairmaire and C. O. Waterhouse. (G. H. C.)
