COLEOPTKRA. 195 



NOTES AND ERRATA. 



Part I. 



Page 8. — The species described as Harpalus opaciis is in reality an Aniso- 

 dactylus. Tliere is one discal puncture on the elytra at the 

 posterior third, and two setigerous punctures at each anterior 

 angle of the epistoma. The specimen described is not a male but 

 a female ; I have since discovered a male amongst some discarded 

 duplicate material ; it is more shining than the female type. 



Page 11. — //. convicior should probably be placed as a synonym of ccmonictis, 

 and canonicus, Instralis a.i\cl' (enescens placed ks varieties of riridi- 

 lEiieus, at least until renewed study can be made with greatly 

 increased material. 



Page 31. — I am informed by Mr. Pauvel that Dr. LeGonte's Edaplmf nilidus 

 has not four basal pronotal foveae but six, and that A\ luadentus 

 is probably a synonym. In order to decide this question, how- 

 ever, it is necessary to examine Dr. LeConte's original type of E. 

 iiitidus which I have been unable to do. 



Page 50. — P/. parndum is perhaps a very small and singularly deformed 

 specimen of excavattmi, a"nd the name should therefore be entered 

 as a synonym of that species until future collecting can decide 

 upon its true relationship. 



Page 57. — 6th line from bottom, /or " middle" read " base." 



Page 58. — After Fig. l,Jor "antenna" read "maxillary palpus."

Synonymical notes. 



Through the kindness of M. A. Orouvelle, who has provided me with types 

 of many species of this family, I am enabled to x^i't'sent the following 

 remarks : — 



Page 72. — Sil. quadricolUs Guer. — This is not the species indicated but Cath- 



artiis cassm Reiche. 

 Page 73. — ^il. advena, rectus, and 0])acidus should be read Cafliartiis adrena, 



rectus, and opacidus. 

 Page 76. — By renewed observation I am quite positive that Prostomis americuna 



Cr. is an absolute synonym of manddndaris Fab. 



M. Grouvelle considered that Cath. opacidus Lee. might be a synonym of 

 Cath. ijitadricoUis Guer., but from a direct comparison of the types I find that 

 they are quite distinct. The above author also informs me that Lwrnoph. 

 loiKjicornis Mann, is a synonym of piisillus 'J, .
