G. H. Horn, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. vi. pp. 81-128, pl.i., gives a “ Synopsis 
of the Genera and Species of the Staphylinide tribe Tachyporini of the 
United States.” He subdivides it into Ilypocypti, Tachypori^ Bolitohii 
(head margined at sides), and Hahroceri. The sexual characters iu 
Tachinus are discussed and figured. Tachinus axillaris^ Austin, = fumi- 
pennis, Say; JJolitobius rostratus, Lee., nec Mots., renamed quoesitor, 
p. 119. Bryoporus is a good genus; B. testaceus and rubldus, Lee., = 
rufescens, Lee. ; Hypocyptm zieglei’i, Lee., = longirornh, Payk. ; Tricho- 
phya is considered as belonging to the Quediides, near Acylnphorus. 
Bibliography and synonymy are given, and the plate shows various out- 
lines of external anatomy.
