COLLINS, I" K I N T K 1! , PHILADELPHIA. 1 N T II J) U C T 1 N . THE present memoir is intended to give a catalogue of the Coleoptera thus far known to inhabit the middle eastern portion of the great central region of tem perate North America. The boundaries of the province here treated of are as follows: north by the Missouri river, east by the meridian of the mouth of the Kansas or Platte river, south by about latitude 34, and west by the main mass of the Rocky mountains. It thus includes Kansas, a portion of Nebraska, and the eastern part of New Mexico. The eastern limit of this province is well defined ; the other boundaries are indefinite, since it there fades imperceptibly into other provinces of the same great zoological district. Before proceeding to consider the special material used in the preparation of this memoir, it will be proper to give a short sketch of the general results thus far obtained regarding the geographical distribution of Coleopterous insects in the territory of our republic. The whole region of the United States is divided by meridional, or nearly meri dional lines into three, or perhaps four, great zoological districts, distinguished each by numerous peculiar genera and species, which, with but few exceptions, do not extend into the contiguous districts. The eastern one of these extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the arid prairies on the west of Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas, thus embracing (for convenience merely) a narrow strip near the sea-coast of Texas. This narrow strip, however, belongs more properly to the eastern province of the tropical zoological district of Mexico. The central district extends from the western limit of the eastern district, per haps to the mass of the Sierra Nevada of California, including Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Except Arizona, the entomological fauna of the portion of this district west of the Rocky mountains, and in fact that of the mountain region proper, is entirely unknown ; and it is very probable that the region does in reality constitute two districts bounded by the Rocky mountains, and southern continuation thereof. The western district is the maritime slope of the continent to the Pacific, and thus includes California, Oregon, and Washington territories. These great districts are divided into a number of provinces, of unequal size, and which are limited by changes in climate, and therefore sometimes distinctly, some times vaguely defined. The Atlantic district may be divided into: 1, a northern province, including Maine, Eastern Canada, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, etc., and extending west- 299243 iv INTRODUCTION. wardly from Lake Superior to Lake Winnipeg and Western Canada, which fades insensibly into the great Arctic district; 2, a middle province, limited westwardly by the Appalachian chain, and extending to Southern Virginia; 3, a western pro vince, including Minnesota and the States of the valley of the Mississippi, as far as the State of that name; 4, a southern province, including the States south of Virginia and Kentucky; 5, a subtropical province, including the point of the penin sula of Florida; 6, a subtropical province, including the sea-coast of Texas. The Central district, as far as known, may be thus divided : 1, a northern pro vince, comprising the regions north of the Missouri, the plains of the Saskatchewan, etc. ; 2, a middle eastern province, divided into two subprovinces, including : a, Kansas, and Nebraska ; &, northeastern New Mexico ; 3, a southeastern province, including Texas, with the exception of province six of the Atlantic district ; 4, a southwestern province, including the upper part of the valley of the Gila ; and 5, a south-southwestern province, including the lower Gila and Colorado. The unex plored portions of this district will indicate middle western, and northwestern provinces, or perhaps the necessity of constituting with them and the southwestern province a district to be called the Interior district. The Pacific district may be divided as follows : 1, a hyperborean province, con sisting of Sitka and the neighborhood ; 2, a northern province, including Eastern Oregon and AVashington Territories ; 3, a middle province, including California, probably as far south as Santa Barbara; 4, a southern province, including Cali fornia from Santa Barbara to San Diego, extending to the crest of the Sierra. Southern, or lower California is also, perhaps only in part, a province of this dis trict; 1 but, as yet, no collections of magnitude have been received therefrom. Other provinces will, from the peculiar method of distribution of species in that portion of America, be defined when more full collections are made, but at present cannot be indicated. At the north, the Atlantic and Central districts seem to merge imperceptibly together, about the valley of the Athabasca, and Winnepeg rivers, and finally to disappear in the limited Arctic fauna ; the hyperborean province of the Pacific district also fades into this Arctic fauna, without, however, losing itself so perfectly in the northern provinces of the other districts. We have thus evidence that the American Arctic district may be divided into two provinces, an eastern and a western. At the south, the Atlantic district merges through Florida into the Caribbean tropical province, and through maritime Texas into the Mexican lower eastern province. In the same direction the Central district merges into the Mexican upper or central province, and the Interior district, towards the Gulf of California, into the Mexican western province. Regarding the southern affiliations of the Pacific district we know absolutely nothing ; scarcely a single species found at San Diego has been found in Mexico. 1 A few species, collected by John Xantiis, Esq., nt Cape San Lucas, though all new, indicate a greater resemblance to the fauna of the lower Colorado, than to that of maritime California; this pro vince may therefore be found eventually to belong to the interior district. INTRODUCTION. v The method of distribution of species in the Atlantic and Pacific districts, as already observed by me in various memoirs, is entirely different. In the Atlantic district, a large number of sjfecies are distributed over a large extent of country ; many species are of rare occurrence, and in passing over a distance of several hundred miles, but small variation will be found in the species obtained. In the Pacific district, a small number of species are confined to a small region of country; most species occur in considerable numbers, and in travelling even one hundred miles, it is found that the most abundant species are replaced by others, in many instances very similar to them; these small centres of distribution can be limited only after careful collections have been made at a great number of localities, and it is to be hoped that this very interesting and important subject of investigation may soon receive proper attention from the lovers of science on our Pacific shores. In the Central district, consisting, as it does to a very large extent, of deserts, the distribution seems to be of a moderate number of species over a large extent of country, with a considerable admixture of local species ; such at least seems to be the result of observations in Kansas, Upper Texas, and Arizona. For the purpose of enabling these investigations to be carried on in future with less labor, I have caused the catalogues of the present memoir to be printed sepa rately; the small size of the catalogue of species from Eastern New Mexico, will call attention to the necessity of procuring more material from that region; while the asterisks affixed to the species which have occurred in both sub-provinces, will give the results thus far obtained in geographical distribution.* For many years in the early history of entomology in the United States, the Coleoptera of Kansas were as well known, and even more fully described than those found in the Atlantic States. They form, indeed, the subject of one of the earliest and most extensive of the valuable contributions to entomology made by Say. Having, in the year 1845, made a journey along the Platte river to Fort Lara- mie, thence near the base of the mountains to the Arkansas, returning by that river and the Santa F6 road, I was enabled to follow nearly in the footsteps of Say, and had the singular good fortune to recover nearly all the species described by him, and of which the types had been destroyed to such an extent that scarcely an authentic specimen remained. Of the species described by him, and not obtained by me from this region, I have introduced those which remain unknown to me, marking them thus (fide Say) ; the others I have excluded, as I possess them from Missouri, the locality in most * The student will also consult in reference to the Coleopterous fauna of the Central and Pacific- districts : I.

The results of my own labors have been measurably increased by the following collections, which I owe to the kindness of friends, and to the Smithsonian Insti tution : 1 . Collections brought by Lieut. Beckwith s expedition ; among which were two new species ; Cleonus angularis, and Ccelocnemis punctatus Lee. (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Philad., VII, 225). The genus Ccelocnemis was not previously known east of California, where it is represented by several species; suspecting that it was collected inside of the Great Basin, I have excluded it from the catalogues here given. 2. A large number of specimens collected in Eastern Kansas, by Mr. M. Burke, and presented to me through Dr. John Torrey. 3. A very large collection made at Fort Riley, Kansas, by Dr. W. A. Hammond, U. S. A., and John Xantus, Esq. 4. Collections from the mouth of the Yellowstone river, and from the Loup Fork of the Platte, made by Dr. F. V. Ilayden, and received from the Smithsonian Institution. 5. A collection made by Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, on the route from Fort Riley to Bridger s pass. 6. Similar collections made by Dr. John G. Cooper, received from the Smith sonian Institution. The materials received from Eastern New Mexico are much more scanty, and are as follows : 1. Four or five hundred specimens collected near Santa Fe, by Mr. Fendler, and procured for me by the kind offices of Dr. Engelmann. 2. Specimens collected by Dr. "VVislizenus, on a journey from Santa Fe to Chi huahua ; though few in number, these specimens were very interesting in character, and I have availed myself of the present opportunity to figure some of them, though they are possibly not found within this province of the Central district, but belong rather to the southwestern province. 3. A small, but very interesting collection made in the vicinity of Santa Fe, by the late R. C. Kern, and given me by Prof. S. S. Haldeman. These materials were used in preparing articles for the reports of the expeditions of Capt. E. G. Beckwith, and Capt. J. Pope, TJ. S. A., in Pacific R. R. series, but were excluded from want of room, and are now incorporated together, with the addition of several new species since obtained from various sources. The six provinces of the Atlantic district are marked on the map by red tints ; the two provinces and two subprovinccs of the Central district proper by green ; the two southern provinces of the supposed Interior district by brown ; and the four provinces thus far ascertained of the Pacific district by blue tints. COLEOPTEBA OF KANSAS AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO. AMBLYCHILA SAY. A. Cjliiulriibrinis SAY, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. IV, 409. The specimen figured (Tab. II, fig. 1), was found by Capt. Pope on the Llano Estacado; it is very large (1 28 inches long), and in form is altogether similar to the specimen figured by me in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences, vol. vii. p. 32. The punctures of the elytra are however much stronger, being in fact hardly smaller than those which are scattered in irregular series. The costie of the elytra are more elevated, and the internal one extends fully to the posterior declivity. The legs are thicker, and the posterior tibiae are entirely straight. Two other specimens were collected by Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, U. S. A., on the Platte river, about 100 miles above Fort Kearny. They agree in sculpture with the specimen from the Llano Estacado ; one of them, which I consider as a male, has rather narrower elytra than the other, and has also the thorax more rounded on the sides : otherwise there is no difference between them. A larger series of speci mens will indicate the nature of the strongly-marked differences of sculpture. As confirming the correctness of the view expressed by Lacordaire regarding the identity of A. cylindriformis with the Californian A. Plccolominii, I may add, that having sent to Baron Chaudoir a figure and description of the labrum of the speci men found at Fort Union by Major Siblcy, I was informed by that distinguished entomologist that he can find no appreciable difference between the figure and the labrum of the Californian specimen now in his cabinet. The figure given by M. Reiche is therefore incorrect, as already surmised. MICRIXYS LEC.

Long. -65. Milk river : one specimen found by Dr. Suckley, U. S. A., attached to the North Pacific R. R. Expedition under Gov. J. J. Stevens; Utah, Mr. Drexler. This species closely resembles C. Zimmermanni Lee., which is properly an Oregon species, but differs in the head and thorax being much less punctured ; also in the thorax being less narrowed towards the base, and in the stria; of the elytra being more distinct. Body black ; head shining, finely but sparsely wrinkled and punctured, with the frontal impressions moderately deep. Thorax shining, about one-half wider than the head, twice as wide as its length, rounded on the sides anteriorly, obliquely but only moderately narrowed to the base, which is broadly emarginate, with prolonged basal angles ; the middle of the base is, however, truncate, and not concave as in C. hixatum ; the sides are narrowly margined, the dorsal line is dis tinct ; the sides are densely rugosely punctured, but the sculpture becomes indis tinct on the disc. The elytra are one-half wider than the thorax, about one-fourth longer than their width, covered with close set stria?, the outer ones of which are indistinct; the interstices are transversely rugose, the rugce being deeper at the sides and apex, so that the surface is there covered with small rounded tubercles.

The specific differences in this genus are very unsatisfactory, and depend entirely upon slight modifications in form, which cannot be clearly expressed in a description. AGABVS LEACH.

The 5th, 6th, and 7th joints of the antennte are gradually wider; the 8th, 9th, and 10th are subrectangular, wider than long, and as wide as the 7th; the llth is oval and pointed, narrower than the 10th.

Long. 36. Fort Laramio, one fomalc. Differs from the species of somewhat similar color inhabiting the United States by its more elongate form, gradually tapering both before and behind; the thorax continues accurately the outline of the elytra. The reticulations are very dense, and somewhat longitudinal, especially at the base of the elytra. The Californian A. lutosus Lee. approaches it very closely, and it may in fact prove to be the other sex of that species, of which I possess at present only males. The form is, however, somewhat narrower. A. oblitcratlis, ovalis, elongatus parum convexus, senco-niger, nitidus supra subtilissime, vix conspicue reticulatus, elytris luteo-piceis, marginibus pallidioribus, seriebus punctorum solitis valde distinctis, ad basin thorace paulo latioribus, antennis palpis tibiis tarsisque anterioribus ferrugineis.

Varies in having black feet; the sides of the thorax are strongly rounded in front, and subsinuate behind ; the base is as wide as the apex, the anterior dilatation being produced by the curvature of the sides ; the anterior angles are acute, the posterior ones rectangular. The elytra are very little wider than the thorax, regularly elongate elliptical, with the usual scries of punctures becoming irregular towards the tip. By comparing the figure here given with the South American A. bistriata Brulle (figured in Dejean s Icon. Col. Europe, V, tab. 23, fig. 5), it will be seen that they correspond very closely. The middle lobe of the mentum of our species is broad, short, and very obsoletely sinuate ; in the generic description given by Aube, the mentum of A. Imtriata is said to have the middle lobe slightly prominent in the middle. This character needs confirmation, as it is hardly possible that two species so closely related should differ in this particular. Though distinct in form, this genus is separated from Agabus by very trilling differences. COLEOPTERA OP KANSAS SILPHA LINN.

Two specimens found by Dr. Webb, near the Mexican boundary, differ in having the sides of the thorax much more strongly reflexed, so that that part becomes much narrower than the elytra.

The thorax is a little wider than long, not narrowed in front, broadly rounded on the sides, feebly bisinuate at base; the anterior half, with the head is reddish yellow, and the outline separating the yellow from the black is sinuate as in the species above mentioned. In thus introducing the present genus into the fauna of the United States, a few remarks regarding our numerous species of Mordellidcc will be appropriate. The genera which they represent are five in number, and may be thus separated : A. Scutellum quadratuin, transversum postice subemarginatum Tomoxia COSTA. B. Scutellum triangulare, apice rotundatum ; a. Palpi maxillares articulo ultimo valdc dilatato securiform! Glipa LEC. b.. Palpi maxillares articulo ultimo triangular!; Antennae articulis extcrnis valde transversis, velutinis Sphalera LEC. Antennre articulis extcrnis triangularibus, haud transversis ; Pedes postici simplices Mordella LINN. Tibias tarsique postici carinulis notati Mordellistena COSTA. To Tomoxia belong M. lldcnlata Say, and a nearly allied smaller species. To Glipa belongs only M. hilaris Say. The body is slender; the outer joints of the antenna; triangular; the maxillary palpi elongated, with the last joint in the form of an obtuse isosceles triangle, attached by its apex. The middle tibiae are longer than the tarsi ; the posterior tibiae only moderately dilated, longer than the first joint of the tarsi, and destitute of oblique ridges ; the anal style is short, trun cate and subemarginate. Sphalera is the genus indicated, but not named by Lacordaire (Gen. Col. V, GOO, note). The only native representative known to me is M. mclwna Germ. To Mordella belong Anaspis 4 -punctata Say; M. S-puncta(a Fabr. ; oculata Say; itisulata Lee.; serial Say; Anaspis trilobaS&y; M. marginata Mels. ; lineata Mels. ; scutdlaris Fabr. (atrata Mels.) ; undalata Mels., and four nondescript species. To Mordellistena belong all the other species described by Say, Melsheimer, and myself; natural groups among them may be easily formed by the number and position of the tibial ridges, and the arrangement of the colors of the upper surface. M. sericans and one nondescript are remarkable by the posterior tibia; having a fine carina extending along the upper edge, and only a single very long oblique ridge 3 18 COLEOPTERA OF KANSAS on the outer surface. These species do not indicate a generic separation, however, and represent the European M. testacea, the type of Stenalia Muls. OPHKYASTES Sen.

The genus Ilcteraspis belongs in the vicinity of Eumolpus, and is distinguished from the other native genera by the following assemblage of characters : The mouth and eyes are not protected by the thorax, which beneath is simply truncate ; the head is marked with a deep impression between the eyes ; this impression is angulated each side, and continues around the inner posterior and inferior part of the eyes, forming a kind of orbit. The ungues are armed with a long acute tooth in // pubescens Mels. ; with a short acute tooth in II. cnrtlpennvi Mels., and in the next species, while in the one here described the tooth is almost obsolete. 24 COLEOPTERA OP KANSAS H. smaragdllla, viridi-senea, parce albo-pubescens, capite profundc angulatim impresso, fronte vix canaliculate, thorace latitudiiio baud longiore, lateribus rotundatis, ad basin late rotuiidato, punctato subrugoso versus apicem sublajvi, clytris longiusculis, convexis, thorace latioribus, striis Laud impressis antice punctatis postice obsoletis, iuterstitiis alutaceis parce punctulatis.

The elytra appear irnpunctured ; the pale color of the dorsal surface of the abdomen shows a little beneath at the margin and tip.

Long. 22. Santa Fe: Mr. Fendler. Differs from //. suljrticutn- in the smaller si/.e, and by the more elevated submarginal costa of the elytra being curved behind. It nearly resembles a nondescript species from New Hampshire (//. alni Harris), but the thorax is more convex, and the elytra more deeply punctured, while the curved portion of the costa is less prolonged towards the suture; in both the elytra are broadly sulcate about the middle, just within the costa.

Long. -25. One specimen : found in Platte river valley. Belongs to a numerous group of the division Graptodera Cherv., having an elevated fold parallel with the outer margin of the elytra ; this fold in the other species is, however, much more elevated and curved posteriorly towards the suture.

Long. -OR. AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO. 27 Fort Laramie. I have given the name Glyptina to a group of Ilalliciv interme diate between genuine Ilaltica and Longilarsus. The head is marked with a deep oblique line each side between the eyes, running forward to the frontal elevation : the antennae are half as long as the body, slightly thickened externally; the 2d and 3d joints equal in length : the thorax is quadrate, transverse, with the anterior angles obliquely truncate, the disc moderately convex, without impressed lines. The elytra oblong, wider than the thorax, with rows of punctures ; the hind tibitc deeply sulcate above, with the edge of the groove very finely serrate, the terminal spur small, the tarsi attached at the end of the tibiae, 1st joint equal to the others combined, and nearly half as long as the tibiae. Besides the two species here described, the Californian Ilaltica cerina Lee., Pacific R. R. Expl. and Surveys, vol. xi, insects, 68, also belongs to this genus.

Long. -25. Fort Rilcy, Mr. Xantus. Closely related to M. vittafa, but differs by the sides of the thorax being entirely straight, as well as by the colors ; the thorax is very narrowly margined with black, but is yellow both above and beneath, as is also the 28 COLEOPTERA OP KANSAS head, excepting the antennas, front and mouth, which are black. The outer inter vals of the elytra are not shining, and are alternately a little more convex, as in M. vittata, and the edge is not serrate. CASSIDA LINN.

Long. -2G. One specimen, found near Long s Peak. Allied by the declivous and scarcely explanate but narrowly reflexed elytral margin, to C. Q-punctata and C. 9-macuJata, but differing by the more narrow, regularly elliptical form of body. The legs in C. 9-maculata are black ; in C. Q-punctata they are reddish yellow, but the punc tures of the strife of the elytra in that species are less approximate, each elytron is marked with three black spots, the humeral angles are more prolonged, and the side angles of the thorax are more rounded. Still more essential differences exist in the antennae: in the present species the 2d joint is a little longer than wide; the 3d is slender, one-half longer than the 2d; the 4th, 5th, and 6th are equal in length and thickness to the 3d ; the 7th is more than twice as wide, triangular, pale yellow, like the preceding joints; the remaining four joints are as wide as the 7th, and black. The middle of the anterior margin of the thorax is slightly emarginate, but I suspect this character to be accidental. C. alripes, ovata, convcxa, supra testacea (quando viva lostc aurea), thorace antice rotundato, margine hyalino late explanato, angulis externis liaud rotundatis, elytris thorace vix latioribus, humeris paulo productis rotundatis, striis e punctis parcis constitutis, margine hyalino antice declivi postice explanato, vix reflexo, utrinque guttis tribus nigris notatis; subtus nigra, abdomine testacco-marginato, anteunis basi flavis, articulis 3 5 sequalibus, Gto paulo latiore, ultimis 5 nigris. Long. -23. One specimen, found near Long s Peak. Differs from C. nigripes chiefly by the thorax being nearly as wide as the elytra, with the lateral angles scarcely rounded : the margin of the elytra anteriorly is more obliquely declivous than in that species. With regard to the position of C. unipundata Say, I am somewhat doubtful, although to avoid the multiplication of genera it should probably be allowed to remain in Casslda. The 2d joint of the antennre is scarcely thicker than the 3d, which is about twice as long; the 4th is two-thirds as long as the 3d, and some what wider; the 5th is as wide as its length ; and the remaining ones are a little wider than their length: the last is oval and pointed. The ungucs, as in our other species, are simple. BRACIIIACATTHA MULS.
