Proposed Corrections of Specific Names to Harmonize Mr. 

 Henshaw's Catalogue of the North American Cole- 

 optera, with the generally accepted Euro- 

 pean nomenclature, with relation to 

 the species common to the 

 two continents. 



BY JOHN HAMILTON, M. D., 

 Allegheny, Pa. 



The Roman type indicates the proposed name; Italics, the name 

 now in Henshaw's Catalogue and Supplements (sometimes that in 

 the European). Small Caps indicate a species represented only by 

 a variety of the European form.
