46 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



STAPHYLINIDyE. 



Many of my species in this troublesome family are still undetermined, 

 but there are a few to record, including some which are MSS. species of 

 Fauvel (determined for me by Mr. John B. Smith). 



Aleochara gracilicor/iis Fauvel MSS. 



Oxypoda tenebrosa Fauvel. 



Gyrophcena coi-riiscula Er. 



'^Staphyliims ccesareus Cederh. In " New Species of North American 

 Coleoptera," Part I., Dr. Leconte described as .S. ornaticaicda a 

 specimen of this beetle from Canada (collection of Mr. Uhler), 

 locality not stated. Whether the species, which is a European 

 one, has been since taken in Canada, I do not know, but it has 

 been found at Detroit. The single specimen taken by me was 

 captured on 2nd June last, under a log in very moist ground, at 

 Billings Bridge, two miles from the city. 



Philonthus niger Mels. 



Icetulus Say. Rare. Perhaps confused by our collectors with 



bla?idus. Occurs in Lower Peninsula of Michigan. 



agiiis (?) 



quadricoUis Fauvel MSS. 



Dianous cxrulescens Gyll. One specimen. This is also a European 

 species, but is recorded from Lake Superior (as D. chalybeiis Lee.) 



Lathrobium rubripemie Fauvel. 



Bryoporus cribratus Fauvel. 



Mycetoporus lepidus Grav. 



Trogophlxiis nitellus Fauvel. 



Geodro?nicus nigrita Mull, Occurs in Lower Peninsula of Michigan 

 ( = Anthophagtis vert kalis Say). 



TRICHOPTERYGID^. 



Ptenidium evanescens Msh. One specimen from moss. 



Nephanes iceviuscuhis Matth. This minute species is apparently not rare 



in moss, and may be taken as so well described by Prof. Bell in 



Entomologist last year. 



COCCINELLID^. 



Hyperaspis bigenmiata Rand. Rare. This beetle is recorded from Lake 

 Superior, Michigan and Buffalo among other places, and being so 

 widely distributed, it seems strange that it is not in our lists.
