With 0. niger, I have united parvicollis Lec., of which I have now five 
specimens not essentially differing. The distribution is not remarkable 
(Nova Scotia to California) as 0. swbhirtus occurs also in California, while 
O. pallicornis extends from Nova Scotia to Texas, and to Puget Sound. 
63. Elleschus bipunctatus Linn Faun. Suec. No. 599 (Cureu- 
dio): Schénh. Cure. iii. 322; vii, 187: &e. 
Detroit and Marquette. The European synonymy of this 
species may be found in the references given above. The dif- 
ferences between this genus and Alyca (Lee. Rhynch. 209), do 
not seem sufficient to warrant the retention of the latter. 
The species upon it was established, Hrirhinus ephippiatus 
Say, differs from bipunctatus by finer punctuation, and pale 
yellow color, with a large sutural dark spot on the elytra. 
There are other species indicated by the specimens in my 
collection, but I do not feel prepared to define them accu- 
rately without a larger series. 
64. Acalyptus Carpini Herds/, Col. vi, 204; pl. 74, f 3; Gyll. 
Schonh. Cure. iii, 447: &e. 
Michigan and Massachusetts; first known from Northern 
Europe. A small blackish insect, densely clothed with sil- 
very gray sericeous pubescence, and easily known by the 
ventral sutures being straight the pygidium exposed, and
