A Preliminary Systematic Arrangement of the Aleo- 



charinae (Coleoptera) of the United 



States and Canada. 



BY A. FKNYES. 



The following list is offered as an attempt to classify the 

 Aleocharinae of America north of Mexico. The second edi- 

 tion of the Catalogus Coleopt. Eur. Cauc. et Arm. Rossic., 

 has been used as a guide in arranging the genera common to 

 both faunas, while the genera not occurring in the palaearctic 

 region have been intercalated where they seemed to belong. 

 Most of the genera created in Major Casey's " Observations on 

 the Staphyl. groups Aleoch., etc.," St. L/ouis, 1906, have been 

 omitted and their species transferred to the allied genera. 



Nearly all the species described by Major Casey in his va- 

 rious papers on Aleocharinae have been enumerated, although 

 undoubtedly a considerable number of them will prove to be 

 synonyms. Many of these species are described from unique 

 specimens and are probably only individual variations. 



Only published genera and species are enumerated below. 

 It is hoped that a corrected list may be printed from time to 

 time. The list is necessarily imperfect, therefore corrections 

 or additions will be appreciated by the compiler.
