SYNONYMICAL NOTES. 



By Geo. H. Horn, M. D. 



The species which follow are those described by Prof. E. F. Germar 

 in the work with the title " Insectorum species novae aut minus cognilae,'' 

 a book not in most libraries. 



In all there are eighty-two species described from our fauna, forty- 

 one of which retain the specific name. Of the latter fourteen retain the 

 entire name w^hile the remainder have been referred to other genera. 



While nearly all of the synonymy below has been made known in 

 a scattered way several names have been forgotten. Believing the pub- 

 lication useful from the convenience of having everything together so that 

 it can be readily referred to, it is offered as a continuation of the series 

 begun a number of years ago.
