COCCINELLID/E AND NOTES 253 



For other corrections see remarks under the tribe Bolitocharini in 

 the preceding paper. 



ELATERIM:. 



The names idoneus, abdominalis and arizonicus, applied by the writer 

 (Can. Ent., 1907, pp. 31, 32) to forms of Chalcolepidius allied to snowi 

 Csy., are to be suppressed. Additional material shows that they are 

 probably not even varietal in nature. Snowi is related to webbi, but is 

 abundantly distinct and not to be confounded therewith. 



Chalcolepidius acuminatus Csy. (1. c., p. 32) has the inner margin of 

 the lateral white pronotal areas outwardly arcuate throughout its length 

 and not almost straight, as it is in apacheanus; but the elytra are generally 

 not materially more acuminate than in that species. It occurs also in 

 northern Mexico. The allied nobilis Csy., seems to be confined to the 

 Huachuca Mts., of southern Arizona. 



Chalcolepidius sodalis Csy. (1. c., p. 33) may be united with aztecus 

 as a slight variety. 



BUPRESTID^E. 



It is probable that Buprestis virens Csy. (Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci.. 

 XI, p. 105) is, rather than a subspecies of rufipes, simply the female of 

 that species, though, if this be the case, the differences between the sexes 

 of rufipes in size and form are not indicated in allied species of the genus. 



Dicerca inflatula Csy. (1. c., p. 140) may be united with abrupta Csy. 

 (1. c.). 



TENEBRIONID/E. 



Telabis proxima Csy. (Proc. Wash. Acad., IX, p. 315) may be united 

 with prominent Csy. (1. c., p. 314): the prominent and somewhat everted 

 apical angles of the prothorax in the latter are completely lost in the type 

 of the former, but otherwise there is such an extreme likeness that there 

 can be no doubt of the propriety of the course suggested. 



Coniontis pectoralis and picescens Csy. (1. c., X, pp. 86, 87) may be 

 regarded as subspecies of levettei Csy. (1. c., p. 87). 



Coniontis inflexula Csy. (1. c., p. 107) may be united with exigua Csy. 

 (1. c., p. 106); the character by which it was separated is rather striking 

 in appearance but is adventitious without much doubt. 



Coniontis verna Csy. (1. c., p. 94) must be removed from the opaca 

 group and placed in the abdominalis group, of which it is the smallest 

 member. 



A dditional Notes . 



ClCINDELID^E. 



Cincindela exoleta Csy., is a synonym of senilis Horn, and not a sub- 

 species. 



C. boulderensis Csy., is simply a subspecies of punctulatamicans, 

 having the foveae of the subsutural line very feeble or subobsolete. 



I have recently taken a specimen of C. hentzi Dej., on the Blue Ridge, 

 near the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; it is mentioned by Mr. 

 Leng as occurring only in Massachusetts. 



C. arizonoi Wick., is not a subspecies of rufiventris, but is a distinct 

 species, allied more closely to hcemorrhagica than to rufiventris.
