NORTH AMERICAN PREDACEOUS BEETLES OF THE 

 TRIBE TILLINI IN THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL 

 MUSEUM. 



By A. B. Wolcott, 



Of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois. 



Through the courtesy of Dr. L. O. Howard and Mr. E. A. Schwarz 

 the beetles belonging to the tribe Tillini, of family Cleridae, have been 

 sent to me for study. 



Several new species have been found and descriptions of these, 

 as well as records of all the known species contained in the collection, 

 are given in the following catalogue, in which the genera and species 

 (as far as possible) are arranged in what I conceive to be the natural 

 sequence. To make the paper more complete I have included 

 records and have added descriptions of certain new forms from ma- 

 terial in my collection. The greater part of this paper is, however, 

 based on the collection of the United States National Museum and all 

 of the material belonging to that collection, which was loaned to me, 

 is catalogued. At the end of the account of each species the number 

 of specimens in the Museum collection is stated.
