* The names heretofore proposed in Omus. except those above referred to, are treated as 

 synonyms by Horn 30. His opinions (based in part upon studies of genitalia) may not be entirely 

 acceptable to American students, more familiar with the living beetles and their environment.

 "larger races" are prefixed by Roman numerals, and the "lesser forms of these races" are desig- 

 nated by letters. The more important reductions in rank are:

A large number of varieties are also reduced to synonomy. These have resulted, he slates, "from 

 too much attention to the minute differences," and he adds, "I am inclined the other way. ' If 

 is possible that this inclination has, at least in some instances, resulted in errors.
