COLEOPTERA OF THE LOWER RIO GRANDE. io ^ 



Scarites subterraneus Fabr. Sent by Mr. Armstrong, 

 who obtained it in September. Extends quite across the south- 

 ern portion of the continent from Florida to Baja California, 

 extending north on the Atlantic coast and through the Missis- 

 sippi valley to Canada. 



Dyschirtus erythrocerus Lee. Rather common on the 

 river bank at Laredo, July 24th. I find it recorded from Ohio 

 and New York. 



D. subl^vis Putz. The specimens provisionally placed 

 here were taken by myself on the beach at Point Isabel. The 

 specific reference is considered doubtful by Dr. Horn and also 

 by Mr. Schwarz who obtained what is no doubt the same spe- 

 cies. Putzeys' type was from Texas. 



D. terminatus Lee. Rather common on the banks of 

 resacas at Brownsville in June and July, also at Laredo on 

 river bank, Julv 24th. Extends across New Mexico and Ari- 

 zona to California. 



Clivina dentipes Dej. Common on shores of sloughs in 

 July. Abundant at many points in the Atlantic states and in 

 the Mississippi valley to Iowa. Louisiana, Georgia, Arizona 

 (East Bridge on the Colorado River), California (Needles). 



C. ferrea Lee. Brownsville, Prof. Townsend. Found 

 in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas. Arizona (Tucson), Baja California. 



Schizogenius sallei Putz. Laredo. One specimen on 

 river bank. Julv 24th. Originallv described from Texas. 



Aspidoglossa subangulata Chaud. Brownsville several, 

 Laredo one specimen. Always found in situations similar to 

 those frequented by Clivina. East to Louisiana, north to Dal- 

 las. Common at Columbus and San Antonio, Texas. 



Bembidium coxendix Say. Laredo, Julv 24th. on river 

 bank. Extends west to El Paso and to Albuquerque, New 

 Mexico, whence I have specimens. For the identification of 

 this and other species of the Bembidia I am indebted to Mr. 

 R. Hayward, and the names will, in consequence, correspond 

 with those used in his memoir now in press.
