Cardbus seriatus Wiedemann, Germ. Magazin, 4, 109. 
Russian America and Oregon, abundant. This species long ago described by Fabricius, 
probably from the collection of Captain Cook’s voyage, has been lost sight of in modern times, 
or rather has been made known under other names ; the insect described by Fabricius was in 
Sir Joseph Banks’ collection, and the figure given by Olivier is quite recognizable. 
C. oregonensis, cyaneo-niger, tliorace fere opaco, latitudine vix breviore, minus convexo, 
utrinque angustato, lateribus rotundatis, angulis posticis modice productis, apice rotundatis, 
lateribus pone medium subreflexis, elytris tliorace fere duplo latioribus, subtiliter striolato- 
punctatis, foveisque minus profundis serie triplici impressis. Long. ‘85.

One male from Prairie Paso ; Dr. Cooper. Closely related to C. taedatus , but the thorax is 
proportionally much smaller and narrower, and much more densely and finely rugose ; the 
rugae of the head are also smaller, and the impressions less deep ; the striae and foveae of the 
elytra are less deeply marked. 
Calosoma Fahr. 
C. calidum Fabr. A specimen collected at Steilacoom, by George Gibbs, esq., cannot, after 
much examination, he separated from this common species. It is rather narrower than any 
other specimen I have seen, and the coppery foveae of the elytra are larger and less numerous. 
C. cancellatum, nigro-aeneum, crassiusculum, tliorace latitudine plus duplo breviore, dense 
intricato-rugoso et punctato, basi utrinque late foveato, lateribus latius rotundatis pone medium 
modice reflexis, angulis posticis paulo productis rotundatis, elytris oblongis, thorace parum 
latioribus, saepe virescentibus, seriatim punctatis, transversim rugosis, foveisque aeneis serie 
triplici impressis, interstitiis catenatim paulo elevatis, tibiis intermediis rectis. Long. ’8.

Calosoma aenescens Lee. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 7, 16. 
Fort Vancouver, Dr. Cooper ; Sacramento, California, Mr. Wittick. Shorter and less convex 
than C. calidum , approaching in form some species of Callisthenes ; the thorax is hardly nar¬ 
rowed behind, and the posterior angles are distinctly, though broadly produced. The wings 
are well developed, and the other joints of the antennae are equably pubescent. The intervals 
between the rows of punctures of the elytra are marked with a few transverse striae ; the spaces 
between the impressed foveae are distinctly elevated, and smoother than the other parts of the 
elytra. 
The specimens collected by Dr. Cooper, in Oregon, differ from those found in California, by 
the less distinct green tinge of the elytra, which are also less densely rugous ; on this account 
I was disposed to regard them as indicating a species different from that of Eschscholtz, but 
the subsequent receipt of two specimens from California, which, with many other valuable species, 
were presented to me by Mr. S. S. Rathvon, enables me now to pronounce these differences as
