258. Pediacus fuscus Ei\, planus Lee, subcarinatus Mann. 



This specie.s occurs in Canada, Michigan, Lake Superior, Hudson 

 Bay (LeConte Cat.), Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Alaska. 

 Central Europe; Italy. P. vii, 73; T. xi, 79. Amurland (Chaba- 

 rofka). Heyden, 1886. 



•259. P. depressus Hbst., vtir. sub(jlaber Lee. 



North Carolina LeCoide; Michigan, Lake Superior, Veta Pass, 

 Col., at 9200 feet, Schwarz ; I took three specimens here under the 

 bark of a standing tree, and have one fi-oni Rev. G. W. Taylor from 

 Vancouver Island, all agreeing with the description of subglaber. 

 P. vii, 73 ; T. xi, 79. Central and northern Europe. 



260. Lsemophlseus testaceus Fab., Zimmermanni Lee. bnUatns Lee. 



This species is very common here, being mostly found under the 

 epiderm of bark, and occurs in nearly every place where there are 

 deciduous trees from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is likewise gen- 

 eral in Europe. P. vii, 75. Amurland (Chabarofka). Heyden, 



1886. 



2tJL L. alternans Er. 

 South Carolina (Zimm.). T. ii, 257. Europe. 



262. L. ferrugineus Steph., testaceus Payk. 



This and the preceding are said to be cosmopolitan. No record 

 of their having been taken in America has been observed, except 

 that the latter occurred in beans from Brazil, living on the debris of 

 a Bruchus, in the Centennial Building, Phihidelphia, and in mouldy 

 straw goods from Italy, in New York. Pr. 1876, 270 ; T. xi, 92. 



263. L. pusillus Sch., paberidus Lee., longiconiis Mann. 



This species likewise accompanies commerce, but there are few 

 records of its occurrence in North America. Dr. LeConte described 

 it from the Colorado River and Mannerheim from Sitkha. My 

 specimens are from Massachusetts (Blaiichard). P. vii, 7o ; T. xi, 

 94. South Carolina, Zimiii. T. ii, 257. 



264. Dendrophag-us glaber Lee, cygnsei Mann., var. americanns Maun., var. 

 germari Mann. 



This form, Mr. Casey states, is probably a variety of creiuttus 

 Payk., a species of central and northern Europe. T. xi, 98. It is 

 not seemingly abundant, but is distributed from New York and 

 Canada northward and westward to Vancouver Island and Sitkha, 

 and through the Rocky Mountains to New Mexico, whence I have 

 specimens.
