and New York under this species, he probably removed them at a 

 later date. Chamberlin (1926) records it from a number of different 

 localities, but probably these, as well as the other published records 

 for this species should apply to anxius. 



The writer has seen only one specimen (type) which could be con- 

 sidered as this species, and this seems to be an abnormal specimen, 

 however, it is advisable to retain it as a valid species. In the type 

 the first and second abdominal segments have each a deep, smooth 

 median groove, as stated by Horn, but it does not seem to differ in 

 any other respect from anxius, which has the abdominal grooves 

 more or less variable. 



Horn described this species under the name of blanchardi, but this 

 name had been previously used by Saunders for Agrilus ater 

 Blanchard (name preoccupied), a .species from South America, so 

 Kerremans (1900) proposed the new name horni.
