In a volume entitled " Petite Faune Eatoinologique der Canada- 

 Coleopteres," published ia Quebec by L'Abbe L. Provaacher, the 

 following species and genera are described. 



Pbilonthus longipennis Prov. is sordidus Grav. 



Micronychus (n. g.) sulcatus Prov. is Cyphoiniinus dorsalis Horn. 



Erirhinus viridis Prov. is Pliytonomus nigrirostris Fab. 



Homogaster (n. g.) quebecensis Prov. is Piazurus siibfaseiatus Lee. 



Leptura nitidipennis Prov. is Acrufeops longicornis Kby. 



L. Isetifica Lee. does not occur in Can., the species intended is mutabilis Nin. 



Anatis canadensis Prov. is 15-punctata Oliv. 



Attelabus maculatus Prov. is rhois Boh. 



Coptoey da plicata Boh. is erroneously determined and should be guttata Oliv. 

 of which it is a variety. 



Zilora nuda Frov., Supplement 1877, p. 19, probably a distinct species but 

 the name is not well chosen. 



Metachroma cuprea Prov. I quote this on the authority of Mr. Austin, I do 

 not know where it is described. It is however not a Metachroma from the 

 specific name. 



The following synonymy has been recently observed : 



Amphycyrta simplicipes Mann, is a Simplocaria, and S. inflata Lee. is the 

 same species. 



Ehipiphorus bifoveatus ITorn.— Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1875, p. 123. I mention 

 this species to note its occurrence in Guatemala, and also that the description 

 of B. sordidus Gerst. (Mon. 1855, p. 28), applies to it as far as it goes, but as 

 there are important tarsal characters not mentioned by Gerstseckt'r, I feel un- 

 willing to unite the two species, and I must await the decision of those who 

 have at the same time access to my paper aind veritable specimens of sordidus. 

 If the two are identical the distribution' is remarkable — Brazil, Guatemala 

 and Illinois. 



Dr. Horn also read the following 



Note on HEMIPEJ>L,LS Latr. 



This genus was indicated and described by Latreille (Fam. nat. 

 Regne Anim. p. 398), without however describing the species. The 

 typical specimen passed to M. Reiche and bore the cabinet name 

 hemipferus (fide Lacordaire). ,In the catalogue of his collection 

 (ed. 3, p. 340), Dejean records the same insect under the name 

 Nemicelus marginipennis. 



In the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- 

 delphia, 1854, p. 79, Dr. Leconte for the first time describes the 

 species under the Dejeanian name from a specimen which we now 

 know to be a female. 



The Dejean specimen was in 1874 in the possession of Mr. E. W.
