124 BULLETIN 417, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



This species, type specimens of which were forwarded to Dejean 

 from San Domingo by -Count Mannerheim, was described by the 

 former in 183 1. 1 Dejean in his description gave Mannerheim as the 

 authority for his new species, and the name of the latter has been 

 erroneously quoted by many authors since that time. 



According to recent writings of Mr. Chas. Schaeffer 2 this species 

 has made its appearance in the United States and the following notes 

 concerning its occurrence are copied verbatim : 



Two of the interesting additions to the coleopterous fauna of the United States, of 

 which short descriptions are given below, were collected in Chokoloskee, southwestern 

 Florida, and kindly given me by Mr. George Frank; the third: which Iowe to the 

 liberality of Mr. G. \V. J. Angell, was collected at Enterprise, Fla., by C. W. Brownell. 



A correction was added by the same author in 1910 3 to the effect 

 that he had "reported this species wrongly from Enterprise, Fla. 

 It was taken, as Mr. Angell informs me, in moderate numbers at lights 

 in Key West, Florida."
