Horn has published two papers in Tr. Am. Ent. Soc., — De- 
scription of the species of Aphodius and Dialytes of the United 
States^^ {l.c. 1870, pp. 110-134), and, in continuation, Synopsis 
of Aphodiini of the United States^^ (/. c, 1871, pp. 284-297), — in 
which he tabulates and describes the American spp. of the 2 
genera above named, Owyomus, At(&niuSy Euparia, Ithyssemus, 
PleurophoruSj PsammodiuSy and JEgialia (errata in 1st paper 
noticed at p. 296 of 2nd). 
The European Psammodius ccesus, Aphodius fossovy Jimetarius, fontiduSy 
granarius, and inquinatus are noticed as also occurring in America; A. sagit- 
tarius, angularis, Lee. {hamatusj Say) j omissusy Lee. (concavus, Hald.)

natus, F., and the author’s phalerioides, walshi, nevadensis, torpidus, crassulus, 
and rugifronSy are given on pi. iii. (for description, cf. p. 824). 
V. Harold (B. E. Z. xv. pp. 249-287), in the long- delayed 7th part of his 
Beitrage zur Kenntniss einiger coprophagen Lamellicornien,” discusses the 
characters of many spp. not universally known, redescribing many and 
describing some as new. He gives the following synonymy &c. : — Aphodius 
tasmanice^howittiy Hope, 5, of which australasice, Blanch. {dilaticollisyT)up.')
