MANUSCRUn- NOTES 15Y THE LATE T. W. IIAliRIS ON SAY'S 

 INSECTS AND PAPERS. — II. 



Volume II of Complete Writings. 



P. 24. Descriptions of the Myria- 

 podae. [An issue of this paper with 

 title page as follows ; " Descriptions of 

 the Myriapodae of the United States. 

 ]iy Thomas Say. Read November 21st, 

 1820. J. Harding, printer. 182 1," 14 

 pp. without pagination, 8°, does not 

 seem to have been seen by Dr. Le 

 Conte. It is in the library of the Bos- 

 ton society of natural history.] 



P. 52. Beris fnscitiirsis^ line i ; after 

 black, add : or dark green. 



P. 53. I'angonia incisiiralis. J\ incisa 

 Wied. 



P. 103. Buprestis G-guttata. Preoc- 

 cupied ; se.xsignata Say [Say's hand- 

 writing.] 



P. 1 04. Biipristis gihbiiollis. Also 

 preoccupied ; diserta Say [Say's hand- 

 writing.] 



P. 104. Buprestis graniilata.,\\\\& 3; 

 add : and Indiana [Say's addition]. 



P. 116. Lyciis termiiialis. Indiana 

 [Say's addition]. 



P. 142. Mclohntha liirmta. Closely 

 resembles quercina, but distinguished 

 by punctures. Certainly liirticula of 

 Knoch, Neue Beytr., 79 [cf. reference 

 to p. 297]. 



P. 143. Mcloloiitha pHosifollis, line 

 20. Tristis Fabr. is placed by Sch('>n- 

 herr in the subdivision of Melolontha 

 corresponding with Megerle's genera 

 Anoniala and Anisoplia ; therefore it 

 must be nearly or quite generically 

 distinct from the pilosicollis of Knoch 

 and Say. 



P. 159. Cistela si-ria-a. Serica [Say's 

 correction.] This is a different species 

 from the sericea of Say in Long's 

 Expedition, which has priority ; it is 

 possible that the present species may 

 be the sulphurea of F. 



P. 162. DoRTHESiA. This name 

 belongs to the family of Aphidae and is 

 so used by Latreille and Leach. I do 

 not know v;ith what propriety Mr. Say 

 used it for a coleopterous insect ; it is 

 mentioned as coleopterous in Rt^gne 

 animal, iii, 313. 



P. 173. Curculio aiutus. New genus. 

 Brachystilus Schiinh. in litt. ; B. Iiarrisii 

 Schtinh. in litt. 



P. I go. Saperda caharata, line 3 ; 

 add : and Massachusetts. 



P. 190. Saperda bivittata. Bifasciata 

 Melsh. 



P. 199. J\/iagium trh'ittatiim. Ran- 

 dall's Leptura vittigera is hardly more 

 than a variety of this insect. It is a 

 Toxotus.
