372 MACLURIAN LYCEUM. 



[From Contributions of the Maclurian Lyceum to the Arts and 

 Sciences, vol. I. Philadelphia.] 



Note on Capt. Le Conte's paper on " New Coleopterous Insects of North 

 America," published in the first volume of the Annals of the Lyceum of 

 Natural History of New York. 



Read April 23, 1827. 



Colaspis infuscata Le C. is the C. quadrinotata. — See Journal 

 of the Acad. Nat. Sc. P. vol. iii. p. 444. 



Anttiicus murmipennis Le C. is the A. hicolor. — See American 

 Entomology, vol. i. pi. x. It is very closely allied to Notoxus 

 serricornis of Panzer, No. 31. [39] 



Molorchus affinis Le C. is the M. bimaculatm. — See Journal 

 Acad. Nat. Sc. P. vol. iii. p. 428. 



Chrysomela scalaris Le C. may possibly prove to be the C 

 decipiens of Weber, p. 52, notwithstanding Weber's description 

 of the suture, which he says is " brunneus j" a specimen in my 

 collection has a tinge of that color, and another has a slight ap- 

 pearance of the lateral thoracic indentations, which Weber attri- 

 butes to his species. At any rate, I referred the species to that 

 description until another insect could be found better adapted 

 to it. 



There can be no doubt respecting priority in relation to the 

 above names.
