A systematic list of the specimens contained in the Leske Museum in which new Coleoptera and Lepidoptera were described by Zschach. New species of Diptera were numbered, but not given names. Johann Friedrich Gmelin's 13th edition of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae (1788-1793) gave these new species Latin binomial names and the other new species were described again.
