have overlooked the discrepancy between Olivier's original publication in 

 1790 and his later work (Cf. H. S. Barber, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, 

 XYIII, 1916, pp. 117-118) by which guttata (Olivier) is validated. 



Family LII. BRUCHID^. 



Bruchus chinensis (Linne). Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwenburg) . 

 * Bruchus amicus Horn. Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwenburg). 



* Bruchus sallei Sharp. Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwenburg). 



Bruchus obtectus Say should be substituted for B. obsoletus Say, when 

 that name is used for the bean weevil; add the locality Porto Rico (Van 

 Zwaluwenburg) . 



Bruchus rufimanus, change author to Boheman. 



Bruchus sinuatus Fahraeus (fide Horn) is a variety of B. quadrimaculatus 

 Fabricius. 



Bruchus tetricus Gyllenhal. Cuba (U. S. N. M.). 



* Caryoborus nucleorum (Fabricius). Cuba (U. S. N. M.). 

 Spermophagus hoffmanseggi Gyllenhal was proposed to replace robinice 



Olivier nee Fabricius. It is not equivalent to robiniw Fabricius as we have 

 it in the Preliminary List but to robinice erroneously cited in Olivier, Ent., 

 TV, 1795, no. 79, p. 7, pi. 1, fig. 4 a, b. 



Family LIIL TENEBRIONIM1. 



By a regrettable error, the recor.ds for the genus Ccelotaxis derived from 

 Guadalupe Island in the Pacific Ocean, were included in our Preliminary 

 List. ' They should all be stricken out, as well as the record for Conibius 

 on page 461. 



Dacoderus dominicensis Horn. Cuba (U. S. N. M.). 



* Phaleria variabilis Quedenfeldt. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 



Strike out Rhipidandrus micrographus, as a misidentification of Eutomus 

 cornutus. 



Strike out Cherostus as synonymous with Eutomus and C. jamaicensis as 

 synonymous with E. cornutus. 



Change Eutomus sulcatus Gorham to Rhipidandrus sulcatus (Gorham). 

 Numerous references to these genera are given in two papers: Proc. Ent. 

 Soc. Washington, XV, 1913, pp. 188-193 and XVI, 1914, pp. 175-177. A 

 letter from H. S. Barber states that he has recently examined larvse of Euto- 

 mus fuhomaculatus (Dury) and E. cornutus (Arrow) and finds that they 

 agree closely with the larvae of Eledona and Bolitotherus.
