Abstract:

"The Zoological volumes of the Biologia Centrali-Americana (BCA) were published in 217 numbered parts between 1879 and 1915. The Wrappers of these Parts provide evidence to date all pages, including Plates, which have no other means of dating. Titles used for the content in the Parts do not always agree with the titles given to the final volumes. Some pages were published twice on different dates; in Coleoptera Vol. VI Part 1 this republication included several different ranks applied to family-group names, and one change of species name spelling."
