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.
