I.— LINN^AN SPECIES. 

 Photinus coruscus, L. Syst. Nat. i. p. 644.

Photimis ■pyralis, L. loc. cit., nee Fab. Ent. Syst. 2, 99, 6. 



Am. Bor. ; all collections. 



The French collections generally refer marginellus, 

 Lee, to pyralis, Lin.; and with this the type in the 

 Banksian Coll. agrees, L. pyralis, Oliv. Ent. ii. 28, is 

 named Olivieri by Castelnan, Ann. Fr. 1832, p. 141. 



The pyralis of my collection is 5 — 7 lines in length, 

 the elytra entirely margined with yellow, and the thorax 

 with a quadrate, dark central spot. 



\_Photinus marginatus, L. and phosphor eus, L. I have 

 not seen types.]
