  The 
  following 
  pages 
  are 
  intended 
  as 
  a 
  supplement 
  to 
  Hyslop's 
  paper 
  

   to 
  bring 
  together 
  these 
  corrections 
  and 
  additions, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  to 
  add 
  

   further 
  corrections. 
  There 
  are 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  minor 
  typographic 
  mis- 
  

   takes 
  in 
  Hyslop's 
  paper 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  listed 
  below, 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  

   cases 
  he 
  gives 
  incorrect 
  dates 
  which 
  are 
  obvious 
  to 
  anyone 
  using 
  the 
  

   catalog 
  (i. 
  e., 
  Linnaeus 
  ''1857, 
  " 
  etc.) 
  and 
  which 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  corrected 
  

   here. 
  With 
  these 
  exceptions, 
  it 
  is 
  thought 
  that 
  this 
  list 
  is 
  correct 
  to 
  

   and 
  including 
  part 
  of 
  1952. 
  

  

  New 
  names 
  

  

  As 
  a 
  result 
  of 
  this 
  study, 
  three 
  new 
  names 
  are 
  necessary 
  to 
  replace 
  

   others 
  which 
  are 
  shown 
  to 
  be 
  unavailable.

   Note: 
  This 
  subgenus 
  of

   and 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  by 
  Kiesenwetter 
  under 
  the

   Insecten

  Kiesenwetter 
  gives 
  as 
  the 
  

   onty 
  included 
  species 
  in 
  his 
  subgenus

  is 
  referred

  which 
  Kiesenwetter 
  redescribed 
  and 
  misdetermined 
  as 
  

   Corymhites 
  tessellatus 
  Germar, 
  is 
  Elater 
  sjaelandicus 
  Miiller, 
  1764,
