BRACHINUS, Web. 



Dr. Leconte in his Notes on the Species of Brachinus (Proc. Ac. Phil. 

 1862. p. 523) says; "I consider the Species of this genus very decidedly opi- 

 niative" and Baron Chaudoir in his Observations syn. sur les Carab. del' Am. 

 (Extrait de la Revue & Mag. de Zool. 1868. p. 33.) also says: Several En- 

 tomologists having described American Species (of Brachinus) without being 

 able to compare the types have thereby caused such a confusion that it is very 

 difficult to find away through. 



We have therefore concluded to delay the publication of a synoptic 

 table of Brachinus until a new study of the Species can be made.
