Note. — Dr. E. Brendel states that the form seen in American collections 

 does not agree with well authenticated European types, and lie has de- 

 scribed it under the name valida, Bull. Lab. Nat. Hist. Univ. Iowa, i, 

 173. Inasmuch as there are several varieties of this wide-spread spe- 

 cies noted, and as it occurs in higli northern latitudes as well as in the 

 warmer parts and iu northei-n Africa, some form of it may be looked 

 for i:i North America, and it might be well to retain the name on our 

 lists for the present. 



Obs. — B. haeraatica Rehb. — This species of Europe and the Mediterranean 

 basin was said by Mr. A. Raffray to be North American. The same 

 statement was made by the older European authors. Mr. Raffray has 

 since stated that the determination was erroneous, Brendel. 



STAPHYLINID^. 

 ^Nlany species listed here are not on Mr. S. Henshaw's catalogue, 1885. These 

 have been made known by Mr. A. Fanvel in Revue Entoniol. viii; this 

 diflScult family being one of his specialties, and he has added likewise 

 much to the distribution of those previously listed. To keep in har- 

 mony the American and European lists the genera in Cat. iv have been 

 inserted, and the species under Thedura, Dinarsea, Calpodota, Amischa,
