NOTES. 

 1 — Elater rufipes. The name being preoccupied at the time it was 



given and not being recognizably described should be dropped. 

 2 — Helops americanus Beauv. Should be adopted for the species now 



called undulatus Lee. 

 3 — Helops tristis Beauv. This is certainly not a Helops but I cannot 



identify it. Is it American? 

 4 — These two species cannot be identified and should be dropped from 



the insufficiency of the descriptions. 

 5 — The occurrence of a species so large (13 mm.) in our territory is very 



doubtful. 

 6. — S. pallidum and S. lave are said by Chevrolat to be Camptodes 

 (Ann. Fr. 1853; p. 631). I think there can be no doubt that £. 

 pallidum is Pallodes silaceus Er. and Beauvois' name should prevail. 

 5. larve I cannot identify while 6". unistriatum seems to be Dacty- 

 losternum abdominale Fab. 

 7 — This is called an Iphthimus by Chevrolat. It should doubtless be 



omitted from our lists. 

 8 — These species are Tenebrioides but it is impossible to identify them 



by the descriptions and figures. 

 9 — This species is European and does not occur in the U.S. 



We call attention to the advertisement of the New Check list of 

 Coleoptera on our cover. It is now in press, and subscriptions may be 

 made through the Brooklyn Entomological Society.
