ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF KANSAS COLEOPTERA 

 FOR 1910- '11- '12. 



By \V. Knaus, McPherson, Kan. 



A DDITIONS to the list of Kansas Coleoptera since 1909 have 

 jt\. not been very numerous. The State University has had 

 collecting parties in the field each summer, but so far the most 

 of the material in Coleoptera gathered in these expeditions has 

 not been worked out. 



The writer has done only occasional collecting the past four 

 seasons, and the list is due principally to the monographic 

 work of Major Thos. L. Casey, of Washington, D. C, who has 

 worked over a number of generic groups. The results of his 

 taxonomic work have not been accepted by all scientific Cole- 

 opterists, and it will probably be some years before these differ- 

 ences of opinion are adjusted. 



Notes, whenever of interest, are appended to the species of 

 the list. 



1. Cicindela sterope Csy. Memoirs of Coleoptera IV. 



This is the species commonly recognized as 12-guttata Dej. in 

 Kansas collections of Coleoptera.

Coleoptera IV. 



This is a deep blue variety of drcumpicta.
