The title page gives the range 1911 - 1927 , which could be interpreted as indicating that the book was published in parts between those years. What we suspect, however, is that 1911 refers to the first part of the Coprinae catalogue, published by Gillet (1911 b) - i. e., our previous reference -, whereas the continuation of the Coprinae catalogue, now added by the Termitotroginae, was published at once in 1927 with the joint-authorship of Gillet and Boucomont.]
