No. 2353. GENOTYPES OF THE ELATERIDAE—HYSLOP. 623 



such synonymy is directly due to isogenotypie, or where a name pre- 

 occupied has since been referred to synonymy under some other 

 genus. In this latter case the type given is for the preoccupied genus 

 and not the genus to which it is now referred. Where possible a 

 species not subsequently cited in synonjiny nor referred to another 

 genus was selected, and where no other criterion was available, the 

 most common species originally included was selected. 



The writer wishes to express his sincere appreciation of the in- 

 valuable assistance given in locating literature and deciding doubt- 

 ful cases by Mr. E. A. Schwarz, of the United States National 

 Museum, and that of Miss Mabel Colcord, librarian of the Bureau of 

 Entomology, in the use of the library facilities in Washington.

 reduces C. tesselatus Germae to synonymy under C. tesselatus Linnaeus, 

 also referring A. tesselatus Kiesenwettee to synonymy under this species. 



0. Scliwarz (1906) reduces the genus to synonymy under L/udius Latreii^le.
