BRUCHID^E. 



417. Bruchus ruflmanus Sch. 



This species was once bred from pea-pods imported from Switzer- 

 land (T. iv, 313), but no other record has been observed, except one 

 which I know to be in error. 



418. B. pisi Linn. 



" Abundant over nearly the entire globe wheresoever peas are 

 cultivated," Horn, 1. c. 



419. B. scutellaris Fab. 



" This species appears to have been widely distributed over the 

 entire globe (Horn, 1. c. 318)." Chinensis Linn, is the name it 

 bears in Europe, denoting its Asiatic origin. My native specimens 

 are from Louisiana and Florida. 



420. B. obsoletus Say, obtectus Say, fabie Eiley. 



This species occurs in many places eastward from the Rocky 

 Mountains depredating especially on beans (T. iv, 337 ; Riley, Mis- 

 souri Rep. iii, 52, etc.). It was found in beans from various Euro- 

 pean countries in the Centennial Building at Philadelphia, but I 

 have not observed the name on any European catalogue. Pr. 1876, 

 269. 



TENEBRIONID^E. 



421. Blaps mucronata Lutrl. 



A few specimens of this European species occurred near Baltimore, 

 Md., Horn. 



422. B. similis Latrl. 



This is also another common European species that occurred at 

 Alexandria, Va., very abundantly. Native specimens of these spe- 

 cies were compared with the European by Dr. Horn in his recent 

 visit to Europe, and any previous doubts about their correct identifi- 

 cation is now dispelled ; they are the two commoner English species.
