Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Account of the Oriental Passalidae Based Primarily on the Collection in the Indian Museum
The present Memoir is in effect Part II of the Annotated List of the Asiatic Beetles in the collection of the Indian Museum. Its scope is, however, much larger than that of Part I; on this account and for other reasons which need not be detailed, it has been decided to discontinue the publication of the List as a separate series.
After I had commenced the catalogue of our Asiatic Passalidae it soon became evident, on account of the present confused state of knowledge of the family, that the value to specialists of the locality-records it was to contain would be greatly in creased by the inclusion of full illustrated descriptions of all the species referred to; and that if these were included its value to collectors in the East would be still further increased by the inclusion of a key for the identification of all genera known from the Oriental Region.
