I have here included descriptions of nearly all the the important or interesting species which remained undescribed in my collection, except those which require special memoirs or monographs for their proper elucidation. Other species belonging to families to which he has given special attention are comprised in a foregoing paper by Dr. Horn, so that these two papers may be considered to exhaust the miscellaneous material now in our possession.

I must express my special thanks to Mr. G. W. Belfrage for a complete set of the species collected by him in Texas, and to Mr. E. A. Schwarz for a large series from the same State, and kindly submitted to me by permission of Mr. C. V. Riley, U. S. Entom. Commission; also to Mr. A. Bolter for many species from California and Florida.
Full lists of the Texas species, will I hope soon be ready for publication, like those of Michigan and Florida species prepared by Messrs. Hubbard and Schwarz,* which have added so greatly to the knowledge of geographical distribution of Coleoptera in this country.

Over the course of several years a 22-watt UV (black light) trap was deployed continuously during the warm season (March–October) at a woodland site in Union Co., North Carolina, USA, at N 35.0524°, W 80.6980°. This site has produced numerous state records and has generated new information regarding habitat preferences and seasonal activity for several species of Coleoptera (Hinson 2015; Hinson and Blinn 2018; Hinson and Buss 2015; Hinson et al.

The following descriptions and notes are published in advance of a list of the Coleoptera known to occur in the lower Rio Grande Valley on which I have been at work ; but have postponed its publication on account of the possible addition I may secure on my second trip to this interesting region. A few notes and descriptions of beetles from other regions are added.

This is an interesting complement to Arnett (1)(2). It is very detailed (214 pages) and includes many drawings helpful for learning the names and numbers of body parts. One thing I find particularly interesting is its use of wing venation, which is little used in most Coleoptera keys.
