ADDITIONS. 
The preceding page had not been printed more than twelve hours 
before I received a copy of the June number of the “ Journal of Ento¬ 
mology/^ for 1861, in which I find a paper by Mr. Frederick Smith, 
describing several North American species of Bomhusi and Apathus. 
This being the first opportunity that I have had of examining the above 
number of that valuable publication, the omissions, &c., are conse¬ 
quently unavoidable, and although unfortunate, yet I am glad of the 
opportunity of having the additions made, before the printing of my 
paper has been finished and copies distributed. 
The three following species of Bomhus^ all of which are unknown to 
me, must be added fo the foregoing list; those of Apathus will be 
found hereafter under that genus. 
21.—22. B. modestus. 
Bomhus modestus Smith, Journal of Entomology, i, p. 153. 
Female. Length 9 lines. Black, pubescent; the clypeus very 
smooth, shining, and delicately punctured. Thorax: the pubescence 
above before the wings yellow; the scutellum with a slight admixture 
of fulvous hairs; the wings subhyaline; the pubescence on the legs 
black, that on the basal joint of the posterior tarsi within ferruginous, 
the claw-joint of the tarsi obscurely ferruginous. Abdomen : the third 
and fourth segments clothed with yellow pubescence, the fifth with 
black, and fringed on its apical margin with yellow hairs, the apical 
segment has also a thin clothing of hair of the same color. 
“ Worher. Length 5^ lines. The pubescence similarly disposed to 
that of the female, but paler, that on the apical segments white.

22. The name modestus used for the new species of this number, on 
p. 99, being preoccupied by Mr. Smith, should be changed to moderatus. 
42.-43. B. laboriosus.
