as a synonym of thoracicus described by Castelnau and Gory 8 from 

 Chile. This species is unknown to the writer, and if Kerremans's 

 opinion is correct the specimen in the Dejean collection is probably 

 erroneously labeled as to locality. 



AGRILUS UMBRATUS Harold 



Agrilus umbratus Harold, Coleopt. Heft, vol. 5, 1869, p. 124 (new name 

 for tenuis Gory). — Gemmingeb and Harold, Cat. Coleopterorum, vol. 5, 

 1869, p. 1446.— Kerremans, Mem. Soc. Ent. Belg., no. 1, 1892, p. 276; 

 Wytsman's Gen. Insectorum, fasc. 12, pt. 4, 1903, p. 268. — Chamberlin 

 Cat. Buprestidae, 1926, p. 84. 



Agrilus tenuis Gory (not Ratzeburg), Mon. Bupr. Suppl., vol. 4, 1841, 

 p. 266, pi. 44, fig. 260 (name preoccupied). 



This species should not be included in our North American lists. 

 Agrilus tenuis was described by Gory (1841) from South America, 

 but since this name was preoccupied, Harold (1869) renamed it 

 umbratus. Kerremans (1892) records the locality as South America, 

 but in his Genera Insectorum (1903) gives the United States as the 

 only locality, which is without any doubt a typographical error. 



AGRILUS SUBALTEATA LeConte 



Agrilus subalteata (LeConte) Chamberlin, Cat. Buprestidae, 1926, p. 82. 



Chamberlin includes this species among the Agrilus in the above 

 catalogue, which is an error, as it was described from Cape San 

 Lucas, Lower California, and belongs to the genus Acmaeodera. 



AGRILUS 14-SPILOTA Obenberger 



Agrilus H-spilota (Obenberger) Chamberlin, Cat. Buprestidae, 1926, p. 79. 



Chamberlin also includes this species among the Agrikis, which 

 is an error. It was described from North America, but belongs to 

 the genus Acmaeodera.
