pp. 328^320), Onychotnipcs, Cnemotrupes, and Anoplotrupcs are represented 
in the United States; and Horn accepts further the Mycotrupes 
(Jjeconto) as a form intermediato between Clielotrupcs (Jelt.) and Thorectes 
(Mills.). The organic peculiarities by which these subgenera are charac- 
terized are illustrated by Horn in a series of outline figures (/. c. pp. 821- 
322). Horn recognizes the following distinct North- American species: — 
{Mycotrvpcs) G. retusus (Lee.) : (Onychoti'upcs) G. splmdidiis (Fab.), of 
which miaropJiayns (Jek.) is a variety; G. scmiopacus (Jek.), of which mels-' 
heimeri (Jek.) is a var. : (Cncmotrujics) G. cyeriei (Germ.), with 
(Jek.) as a variety; G, opacus (Hald.), vars. haldemani and chevrolati{^Qk.) ; 
G. hlackhtrnii (Yob-^ — excremetiti (Say); G. conicollis (Jek.): {Anoplo^ 
trupes) G. hahyi (Jek.), vars. similis and starhii (Jek.). G. starldi was re- 
ferred by Jekel to Cnemotrupes ] but Horn regards it as identical with halyi,
