DOUGLAS COUNTY ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF KANSAS 

 COLEOPTERA IN 1879 AND 1880. 



BY PROP. F. H. SNOW, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. 



Of the 144 species included in the following list, 132 were collected in the 

 immediate vicinity of Lawrence, in Douglas county; 10 were taken by Mr. 

 T. B. Ashton, at Tonganoxie, in Leavenworth county, only 13 miles from 

 Lawrence; and 2 were taken in western Kansas. The locality is stated in 

 case of each species not found in Douglas county. These additions increase 

 the list of Kansas Coleoptera to a total of 1855 species, which is the largest 

 list yet published from any State in the Union. In presenting these addi- 

 tions, I desire to recognize the iuval'uable services of the students in my 

 Zoology classes, who have searched the country in all directions for material 

 with which to enrich their own entomological collections, and have invari- 

 ably allowed me to retain for the University cabinets all species new to the 

 Kansas list. The following students have been especially successful in ob- 

 taining new species : Louis L. Dyche, Richard Foster, John E. McCurdy, 

 Frank Prentiss, and Ed. G. Smith. 



To Drs. Le Conte and Horn I am indebted for the determination of many 

 of the species.
