Kl.AGES: COLEOPTERA OF SoUTHWF.STKRN PkNNSYI.VANI A. 279 



Neladius tenuis Cos. — A graceful insect, resembling a diminutive 

 /.(•/"/I'Scv/n/ius, and compared by me in the Hamilton list to Scydmaenus 

 ovithorax Bre/u/e/. It is rare, and found in the same locality and in 

 similar material as O. atoiiuis. 



Cephennium corporosum Lcc. — Have not yet found it here. Dr. 

 Hamilton has taken it in s|)ring, on several occasions, near Allegheny, 

 in an orchard, under stones. 'J'he five specimens in my collection are 

 from Covington, Kentucky (Rettger). 



Ascydmus tener Cas. — Rare here, occurring in heajjs of decompos- 

 ing vegetation. A specimen sent to me for identification by Prof. 

 Wickham, taken at Iowa City, cannot be separated from ours ; and I 

 suspect this species may prove to be synonymous with Euthiodes lata 

 BrendcL 



Eutheia americana Cas. — Found in sifted material from a decayed 

 chestnut log on Chestnut Ridge, July 29, i8g6, by Rev. R. Kraus. 

 The type in Mr. Casey's collection is the only specimen known to 

 me ; I have failed thus far to duplicate it. 



Veraphis capitata Cas. — Another rare species, obtained under 

 dead leaves and weeds, only in the valley of the Loyalhanna. 



V. cristata Bre/id. — The type in Brendel's collection, and now in 

 the Horn collection at Philadelphia, was taken by Rev. INI. Rettger at 

 Carrolltown, Cambria County, and sent to me. 



V. n. sp. — A single specimen was found on October 13, 1897, in 

 the same location as capitata; it is certainly not the latter species, 

 neither does it tally with the figure or description of cristata. 



Leptoscymnus caseyi Brend. — Dr. Brendel's types came from Car- 

 rolltown, Cambria County (Rettger), but it, as well as the next species, 

 occur here not infrecjuently in wood, and often in colonies. 



L. cavifrons Cas. — Described by Dr. Brendel as the male of Caseyi. 

 When the sexes are once known, it is easy to separate the two species. 

 Not abundant. 



Eumicrus motschulskii Lee. Single specimens, or pairs, are ob- 

 tained now and then, but the insect cannot be said to be abundant. 



Acholerops zimmermanni Schai/»i. — Xot more common than the 

 foregoing species. 



A. retrusa Ca}. — Referred to in the Hamilton List as Einnicnis n. 

 spec. Since my first taking it, as there recorded, on December 26, 

 1894 (when it was thawed out of a lump of the material indicated), 

 it has again been found in similar material, but not in the winter season.
