SPH/ERIDIUM Fab. 
S. searabaeoides Linn. Throughout the State, IV-IX, common on fresh 
cownTung. This is a European species that was introduced into the 
more northern part of the State about the date of the previous edi¬ 
tion and was therefore not included. Since that time it has spread 
to all sections and has become plentiful. Fortunately as a scavengei 
it is not a harmful species. 
CERCYON Leach. 
The species of this genus are not well determined in collections. It is 
quite probable that we have more species than are listed, and that some 
of those listed do not actually occur with us. Most of them live in dung 
or other decaying and fermenting material.
