CATALOGUE OF; THE DESCRIBED SCOLYRIDAEOE 
AMERICA, NORDE OP? MEXIC® 
BY J. M. SWAINE 
The following catalogue is intended to include all names that have 
been proposed for species of Scolytidae occurring in America, north 
cf Mexico, with citations of published articles referring thereto. 
The references were collected originally for our use, while work- 
ing on the family Scolytidae. They include practically all the liter- 
ature published on the North American species of the family. 
Changes should, we believe, be made in the location of a few of 
the species here listed, and several of the genera may, with advan- 
tage, be divided. These changes require considerable discussion 
and illustration, and would perhaps be more effectively made in 
connection with the description of the large number of undescribed 
species of North American Scolytidae known to collectors. As a 
synonymic catalogue of the North American species of Scolytidae 
has been promised by the American authority on this family, I 
have reported the priority of the various genera and species just 
as found in the lterature. The object of this paper is merely to 
present the refierences to that literature. The habitat and food 
plants have been compiled from the literature, the Cornell Uni- 
versity collection and our own notes. References to several well 
known lists are not included. For convenience of reference the 
genera and species are arranged alphabetically. 
As regards the conflicting names of Eichhoff, Zimmerman and 
Leconte, P. pullus Zimm., described in the Transactions of the 
American Entomological Society, 1868, volume 2, undoubtedly has 
precedence over Pi cribripennis hich. Bernie ere 
March 1869. Though the contrary has been repeatedly stated, 
it seems perfectly clear to me that H. rufipes Bich and H. 
salebrosus Eich. were described before H. opaculus Lee. 
and H. scabripennis Zimm., as will appear from the follow- 
ing: H. rufipes and H. tenuis were described by Eichhoff
