A Preliminary Systematic Arrangement of the Aleo- 
charinae (Coleoptera) of the United 
States and Canada. 
By A. FENYES. 
The following list is offered as an attempt to classify the 
Aleocharinae of America north of Mexico. ‘The second edi- 
tion of the Catalogus Coleopt. Eur. Cauc. et Arm. Rossic., 
has been used as a guide in arranging the genera common to 
both faunas, while the genera not occurring in the paleearctic 
region have been intercalated where they seemed to belong. 
Most of the genera created in Major Casey’s ‘‘ Observations on 
the Staphyl. groups Aleoch., etc.,’’ St. Louis, 1906, have been 
omitted and their species transferred to the allied genera. 
Nearly all the species described by Major Casey in his va- 
rious papers on Aleocharinae have been enumerated, although 
undoubtedly a considerable number of them will prove to be 
synonyms. Many of these species are described from unique 
specimens and are probably only individual variations. 
Only published genera and species are enumerated below. 
It is hoped that a corrected list may be printed from time to 
time. The list is necessarily imperfect, therefore corrections 
or additions will be appreciated by the compiler.
