ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF KANSAS COLEOPTERA IN 



1881 AND 1882. 



BY PROF. F. H. SNOW, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. 



With four exceptions the forty-nine species of the following list were taken 

 in Douglas county, within five miles of the University, by the writer, assisted 

 by the students of his classes in zoology. Among these students, L. L. Dyche> 

 Cara E. Fellows and W. S. Bunn have manifested unusual enthusiasm in the 

 search for new material in a locality whose coleopterous fauna had already 

 been quite thoroughly investigated. The four species not found in Douglas 

 county are Dynastes tityus from Chautauqua county (J. T. Bradley), Lachnos- 

 terna submucida and Lejoyrus gemellus from Davis county (J. V. Humphrey), 

 and Hemirhipus fascicular is from Leavenworth county (T. B. Ashton). This 

 list of addenda increases the number of coleoptera known to occur in the 

 State to 1,904 species, and keeps Kansas still at the head of the list of States 

 in the extent of its beetle-fauna. This fact may be considered to have a 

 "practical application." Great diversity of insect life indicates a corre- 

 sponding diversity of vegetation, and shows a natural adaptability of soil and 

 climate to sustain a great agricultural commonwealth. 



For the determination of many of the species I am greatly indebted to 

 the kindness of Dr. John L. LeConte, of Philadelphia. The numbers pre- 

 fixed to the species are those of Crotch's Check-List:
