AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 151 



north of Mexico," by J. L. Leconte, M. D., Journ. Acad., 1852, p. 154, 

 where the genus is for the first time fully described, and A. (Saperda) 

 ffammata Newm., the only known species described. Subsequently 

 Mr. James Thomson (Archiv. Entom. I., p. 311), describes anew the 

 genus giving a totally diflFerent type, A. luctuosa Lesel. from Brazil. 

 Lacordaire (Genera IX., p. 890), adopts Thomson's description and 

 type entirely ignoring any reference to Leconte. It appears that the 

 genus was first described by Leconte with ^amwa^a as the type and 

 the genus as described by Thomson and Lacordaire is an entirely 

 different matter, and should receive another name. I would suggest 

 that the name Oedudes, subsequently given by Thomson, be adopted. 



CHRYSOIMELID^. 

 Megistops quadrinofata Boh. Eugen. Resa, is quoted from California. 

 The other species are from Chili and Venezuela, and it is probable that 

 this one is also. 



BRUCHID.E. 

 Bruchus impiger Horn, is identical with ramicorms Boh. 



TENEBRIONID^. 



Scotobsenus Lee. My attention was called by M. Aug. Salle, to the 

 probable synonymy of this genus with Centronopus Sol., of which the 

 type is suppressus Say., from Mexico. While examining the admirable 

 collection of Heteromera of Mr. Fred. Bates, I was enabled to satisfy 

 myself of the fact of the identity of the two, and would suggest the 

 name Scotohates for the species now known as Centronopus \. 



Eutomus (Dej.) Lac. There appears to be no doubt that this genus 

 is very closely allied to if not identical with Rhipidandrus Lee. Chapuis 

 has already stated that Eutomus is a Tenebrionide. Future investiga- 

 tion will, I think, show that neither belongs to the Tenebrionidae. 



MONOMMID^. 

 Hyporhagus Lecontei Thorns. Examined the type of this species 

 and the type of laevipunctatus Thoms., in the cabinet of Count 

 Mnizech, and find them identical, the former being the male. The 

 species is from the United States of Columbia and not California. 



OTHNIID^. 

 In the Rev. et. Mag. Zool , 1874, M. Aug. Chevrolat describes 

 Othnius mexicanus as new. This species was described by myself 

 under the same name in the Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 1868, p. 133.
