CUBCULIONID^. 



546. Sitones lineellus Bonsd., indifferens, scissifrons Say.— Kansas, Texas, Lee. 



Sweden, Germany, the eastern Amur, Beliring Island. Mon. 114; Hey- 

 den, 184. Vega Exp. 67. 



547. S. hispidulus Germ., hxmorrhoidalis Sclion. — Observed first at Long 



Braiicli, N. J., about 1875; this species has spread inhind, till now (1894) 

 il has reached Pittsburg, Pa. General in Kurope and Siberia. Heyden, 

 161. Depredates on Trifolium. 



548. S. flavescens Marsh, caninus Gyll. — Pennsylvania, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, 



Indiana, Illinois; Marquette and Detroit, Mich., Schwarz; New York, 

 Eeinecke; Canada and Nova Scotia, Harrington, It is general in Eu- 

 rope. Asia (Turkestan, Mongolia, western Siberia), Barbary. Heyden, 

 161 ; depredates on several species of Trifolium. 



549. S. tibialis Herbst., var. ambigua Schon., — This species is likewise widely 



diffused, and is probably native, occurring fi-ora Canada to Vancouver, 

 and down the Kocky Mountains to New Mexico (Kansas, Dacota, Hud- 

 son Bay Territory, Canada, LeConte; New York, Eeinecke; Kansas and 

 New Mexico, Snow; Michigan and everywhere in the mountains of

 rope, Crimea, Turkestan. Heyden, 161. There are many varieties. 



550. S. crinitus Oliv., Isenicnhis Mann.— Oregon, LeConte; 1. c. 115. Europe, 



Siberia, Amurland. Heyden, 161; Chabarofka, Heyden, 1887; seniculus 

 occurs in California, Mann. 

 Mr. Fauvel cites the opinion of Mr. Bedel, Faun. Seine vi. 251, 252, that 

 tibialis Herbst. is perhaps the true lineellus Bonsd., and that tibialis Le- 

 Conte is not that of Herbst; also that crinitus Herbst is seniculus Mann. 

 All this, however, is opinioinitive. and the above synonymy is permitted 

 to stand awaiting the necessary comparisons. The American species of 

 this genus require a competent monographer. For other opinions see 

 Mr. Casey. Au. N. Y. Acad. Sci. iv, 279, etc.
