Bibliographic references to works pertaining to the taxonomy of Coleoptera published between 1758 and 1900 in the non-periodical literature are listed. Each reference includes the full name of the author, the year or range of years of the publication, the title in full, the publisher and place of publication, the pagination with the number of plates, and the size of the work. This information is followed by the date of publication found in the work itself, the dates found from external sources, and the libraries consulted for the work. Overall, more than 990 works published by 622 primary authors are listed. For each of these authors, a biographic notice (if information was available) is given along with the references consulted.
Coleoptera , beetles, literature, dates of publication, biographies
One of the fundamental principles of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (hereafter called “Code”) is the Principle of Priority (Article 23.1). The valid name of a taxon is the oldest available name applied to it, unless that name has been invalidated or another name is given precedence by a provision of the Code or by a ruling of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (herein “the Commission”). Although considered of trivial importance by some zoologists, dates of publication of works that contain new scientific names are important in establishing priority.
The scope of this work focuses mainly on determining dates of publication, as precisely as possible, of works, such as books, pamphlets, dissertations, catalogues, dictionaries and school programs, relating to the taxonomy and nomenclature of Coleoptera from 1 January 1758, the starting date of zoological nomenclature (

The search for publication dates through these journals was done mainly using Google Books. This process has its limitations. For example, some pages are poorly scanned and unreadable, others are simply missing, and sometimes whole issues of the journal are missing. Nevertheless, this digital database has many rare or difficult-to-find journals useful for dating books.

Two subsequent editions were published in London: one on 28 May 1838 (title page), under the title “Natural history of the insects of China: a new edition with additional observations &c., by J. O. Westwood. The figures drawn from specimens of the insects by E. Donovan” [BHL], the other in 1842 under the title “Natural history of the insects of China, containing upwards of two hundred and twenty figures and descriptions, by E. Donovan. A new edition brought down to the present state of the science, with systematic characters of each species, synonyms, indexes, and other additional matter, by J. O. Westwood” [BHL, USNM]. A German translation by J.G. Gruber was published in Leipzig, in parts in 1802, under the title “E. Donovan’s Natur-Geschichte der Chinesischen Insekten. Enthaltend gegen hundert neue, besondere und schöne Spezies nach der Natur gezeichnet, und genau Kolorirt, auf den Pflanzen, worauf sie gewöhnlich leben, nebst Beschreibung nach Linnés Ordnung, mit Beziehung auf Fabricius und andere” (n.v.).
Donovan never set foot in China. He obtained most of the information from Sir George Stainton (Earl Macartney) of the Embassy to China, who travelled extensively in China and made collections and observations on natural history, which he conveyed to naturalists in England.
1800–1804. An epitome of the natural history of the insects of India, and the islands in the Indian seas: comprising upwards of two hundred and fifty figures and descriptions of the most singular and beautiful species, selected chiefly from those recently discovered, and which have not appeared in the works of any preceding author. The figures are accurately drawn, engraved, and coloured, from specimens of the insects; the descriptions are arranged according to the system of Linnaeus; with references to the writings of Fabricius, and other systematic authors.

[1 June 1804]: Pausus denticornis; Pausus thoracicus; – fichtelii; – pilicornis.
Only the four species illustrated on the plate dated 1 June 1804 are new to science.
A second edition of this book was published in 1842, in London, under the title “Natural history of the insects of India, containing upwards of two hundred and twenty figures and descriptions, by E. Donovan. A new edition, brought down to the present state of the science, with systematic characters of each species, synonyms, indexes, and other additional matter, by J. O. Westwood” [CMLE]. A facsimile of the second edition was published in Delhi in 1985. The original edition was limited to 250 copies.
1805. An epitome of the natural history of the insects of New Holland, New Zealand, New Guinea, Otaheite, and other islands in the Indian, Southern, and Pacific oceans: including the figures and descriptions of one hundred and fifty-three species of the more splendid, beautiful, and interesting insects, hitherto discovered in those countries, and which for the most part have not appeared in the works of any preceding author. The figures are correctly delineated from specimens of the insects; and with the descriptions are arranged according to the Linnaean system, with reference to the writings of Fabricius and other entomologists.

There is no author listed on the title page but the second page reads “Museum-Demidoff. Mis en ordre systématique et décrit par G. Fischer. Tome troisième. Végètaux et animaux. Avec 6 planches.” The Coleoptera are on pages 37–49, 53–73, 98–101 and the new species described are Melolontha macrotarsa (p. 41), M. serrata (p. 41), Curculio erythrophthalmus (p. 42), C. tuberculatus (p. 42), C. caesius (p. 43), Lamia cincta (p. 44), Erotylus oblongo-guttatus (p. 44) and Cassida cayennensis (p. 49). Some of these species are dated 1809 (e.g., Sherborn in his Index Animalium) since Fischer von Waldheim redescribed them in the second volume of the Mémoires de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou.
Despite the date on the title page, this book must have been published in 1808 considering the date of the preface. The entire series consists of three volumes, 1806–1808.
