BY GEO, II. HORN, M. D. 



CICINDELID.E. 



AnihJycliiJa Piccolommii Reichc is cylindriformis Say. — After an 

 examination of the type of this species I am convinced that the views 

 already expressed by Lacordaire and licconte are correct- The species 

 is doubtless a male and identical with those in the cabinet of Dr. 

 Leconte. 



CARABID^E. 



Carabus fulgidus Gebler, in the cabinet of Baron Chandoir from 

 Alaska. 



Carabus hortensis Fab. Specimens in the cabinet of Mr. Andrew 

 Murray of London, are said to have been collected in the Hudson's 

 Bay Region. Before the species is introduced into our lists it would 

 be better to await the occurrence of other specimens. 



Calosoma subseneum Chaud. Kev. et. Mag. Zool. Jan. 1809, and 

 C. latipenne Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. June, 1870, are identical. 



Omophron nitens Chaud., Rev. et Mag. Zool. 18G8, is labiatum Fab. 



Omophron nitidus Chaud., loc. cit. is iiitidion Lee. 



Evarthrus ovidum Chaud., Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1868, is certainly 

 identical with acutiis, Lee. There are positively no known characters 

 for separating it as a variety much less as a distinct species. 



Anisodacti/lus haplomus Chaud., Rev. et. Mag. Zool. 1868. I 

 cannot see any valid reason for separating this from our common 

 riisdcns. 



A. (Gi/nandrotarsus) elongatus Chaud., loc. cit. is opaculus Lee. 

 I have seen a tolerably large series of this species and find that it is 

 impossible to distinguish the two above indicated. 



Ilarpalus occidcntalis Chaud., loc. cit. is /ratenms Lee. 



Ilarpalus liobasis Chaud., loc. cit., does not appear to be a species 

 occurring within our fauual limits. It may be Mexican. 



TUECIIICT.S, Lee. 



Trechicus umbripennis Lee, is the Bcmbidium nigriceps Dej. The 

 synonymy has been determined by a comparison of specimens. 



The synonymy of Trechicus needs some correction. Chaudoir 

 calls the above species a Perigona. Lacordaire places the latter as 

 synonymous with Mastigns. In the Catalogus ((iemm. ct Harold)
