bidariae (PI. 88, fig. 9) is also recorded in the text (p. 520) 

 from N. America ; the species looks like a Geometer, but I fail 

 to recognize it and think that possibly the locality given may 

 be erroneous ; the figure is striking enough to make identifi- 

 cation fairly easy. 



In the light of the above remarks the following changes 

 should be made in our Check List : 



123 balder Guer. instead of balder Bdv. 



328 virginiensis Gucr. instead of virginiensis Gray. 



404 thoe Gucr. instead of thoe Bdv. 



670 jasminearum Gucr. instead of jasminearum Bdv. 



709 to Guer. instead of io Gray. 



1033 lecontei Guer. instead of lecontei Bdv. 



3669 borealis Gucr. instead of borealis Bdv. 



4813 indetermina Griff, instead of indetermina Bdv. 



4816 delphinii Guer. instead of delphinii Bdv. 



strigata Guer. instead of strigata Bdv. 



4889 sepulchralis Guer. instead of sepulchralis Bdv. 



lugubris Guer. instead of lugubris Bdv. 



6755 asilipennis Guer. instead of asilipennis Bdv.

The status of a part of the races described in the present 

 contribution has been in doubt for a long time. The opportu- 

 nity of examining larger series than had previously been at 

 hand is clearing up slowly many enigmas in the genus Eleodes. 



Much credit is due Mr. Nunenmacher for his enthusiasm 

 and persistency in exploring out of the way regions. 



Eleodes (Blapylis) parvicollis var. squalida n. var. 



Form oblong-oval to ovate, slightly more than twice as long as wide. 

 Color deep black, elytra shining, head and pronotum duller in lustre. 



Head a little less than one-half as wide as the pronotum, compara- 

 tively small, about as wide as long ; finely punctate, punctures some- 

 what sparse centrally, denser laterally, with a small glabrous space at 

 the epistomal base, that sometimes extends upon the epistoma; front 

 slightly convex and not impressed. Antennae short, not quite extend-
