Most of these synonyms will be found in Henshaw’s new list ( cf'. supra ) 
of N. American Coleoptera, and need not be given in detail ; but I record 
such as are not noted in that list. It is well, however, to indicate 
that i. deals with the species described by Newman in the Entomologist, 
1840-42. and in the Entomological Mag. v. 1838; that ii. is a reduction, 
so far as possible, to modern nomenclature of the U.S. Coleoptera , 
described by A. M. J. F. Palisot de Beauvais in the folio entitled, 
“ Insectes recueillis en Afrique et en Amerique, 1805”; that iii. deals 
with the species recently described by Casey in bis <f Contributions to 
the Systematic and Descriptive Coleopterology of the United States,” 
and in the Brooklyn Bulletin. The validity of these latter notes is 
objected to by Casey, Bull. Cal. Ac. Sci. i. pp. 327 & 333, &c.
