40 Psyche [Sept -Dec. 
States (1935, p. 127). This did not escape the attention of the 
compiler of the fourth supplement, who recorded it as a Bruchus, 
not an Acanthoscelides. The compiler, as a taxonomist, has a 
perfect right to consider tenuis a Bruchus and Acanthoscelides 
an invalid genus, but as a cataloguer it seems quite unpardon- 
able for him to record the species in a genus in which it was not 
described, and to make no mention of the genus in which it was 
described. 
In the same paper, pp. 128 and 129, Bottimer refers the fol- 
lowing species to Acanthoscelides, namely: A. atomus (Fall), 
A. alb o scut ellatus (Horn), A. seminulum Horn. No record of 
these transfers appears in the fourth supplement to Leng’s 
Catalogue. 
In all probability all species belonging to Horn’s groups VI, 
VII, VIII, and IX, as well as those for which Fall erected the 
group VIIIA belong to Acanthoscelides, s. 1., i. e., as the genus 
was understood prior to Bridwell’s 1946 paper.
