SYNONYMICAL NOTES. 
By Gro. H. Horn, M. D. 
The species which follow are those described by Prof. E. F. Germar 
in the work with the title ‘‘ Insectorum species nove aut minus cognite,” 
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 while 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,
