ADDITIONS TO THE CATALOGUE OF KANSAS COLEOPTERA FOE 1883 



AND 1884. 



BY WARREN KNAUS, SALINA, KANSAS. 



The following one hundred and sixty species of Coleoptera were mostly taken in Sa- 

 line and Wilson counties. Fifteen species were added by Professor F. H. Snow, from the 

 vicinity of Lawrence; five were added by Mr. A. W. Jones, of Salina, and numbers 256 

 51a, Ataenius, sp. 6779, 6807 and 6808, were taken in Wallace and Gove counties in 1878 

 by Professor Snow, and published in the Transactions of the Academy for that year, but 

 have never been transferred to the general list. The species from Saline count}' were 

 taken near Salina and Brookville, and those from Wilson county, near Buffalo. In the 

 list the locality of each species is given, with occasional notes as to habits, some of 

 which I trust may be of assistance to collectors. 



These additions bring the Kansas list of Coleoptera up to about 2,059 species and va- 

 rieties, and still keep it at the head of State lists in the number and variety of Coleop- 

 terous forms. 



Fur the determination of most of the species here given, I am indebted to the kind- 

 ness of Mr. Henry Ulke, of Washington, D. C, to whom many thanks are due.
