Psyche 
[September 
she regards as the true luxatum has been found in Colorado. A cf 
labeled “Douglas Spring, Routt Co., Colo.” (coll. Fall) has been 
selected as neotype and the place as type loc. [Lth. 1961, p. 54]. 
Description of cf neotype. — Chaetotaxy. Head: 2 fix-points (setae 
broken) each side inside hind-margin of eye. Prothorax: all setae 
broken but, judging from fix-point, there have been, on each side, 
only 1 at hind-angle and 1 at middle laterally. (On the high vari- 
ability of this character, see Lth., 1961, p. 55.) — Form of prothorax 
approximately as in Gidaspow’s fig. 55; but greatest width clearly 
before middle and sides faintly sinuate in basal half. — Elytra with 
strong sculpture, striae regular in frontal half, tegulae subquadrate, 
almost flat near the suture anteriorly, becoming rounded and very 
convex (granulate) laterally and apically. — cf : also 1. pro-tarsal 
segment with well-developed brush (as described by Gidaspow, p. 
313, for a sample from Colo.). Penis apex as in a cf from Utah, 
figured by Gidaspow (fig. 166). — Calosoma luxatum [Lth. 1961, 
P- 54] * 
228 Elaphrus fuliginosus (1834: 417). Type area Pennsylvania. 
Say’s description was based on a specimen with head and prothorax 
mutilated ; he therefore used only elytral characters when comparing 
it with the European uliginosus F. Leconte first (1859b, p. 530) 
suggested identity with cicatricosus Lee. but in his collection (MCZ) 
applied the name as now unanimously used (apparently following 
Crotch, in Horn, 1876). Though Say’s description cannot be inter- 
preted, this practice should be retained. No specimen from Penn, 
could be found. A cf , Rumney, N. H., designated as neotype.— 
Elaphrus fuliginosus [Lth., 1961, p. 1 14] . 
233 Elaphrus ruscarius (1834: 417). Type area Pennsylvania, 
named in the first place and designated by Lth. (1961, p. 119)- The 
identity of Say’s species seems clear from his comparison with Euro- 
pean specimens of riparius L. A cf from Columbia, Penn., designated 
as neotype and the place as type loc. — Elaphrus ruscarius [Lth. 1961, 
p. 1 19]- 
246 (syn.) Notiophilus porrectus (1834: 418). No type area 
given. The description of the form of prothorax and the pale color 
of the legs confirms the view introduced by Lee. (1863) that this is 
a synonym of aeneus Hbst. (1806). A cf from Pennsylvania desig- 
nated as neotype and this state as type area. — Notiophilus aeneus 
Hbst. [Lth. 1961, p. 93]. 
247 Notiophilus semistriatus (1823b: 81). No type area given. 
Marquette, Mich., was designated by Lth. (1961, p. 94) but, since 
this specimen could not be rediscovered at the MCZ, a new type
