A female from Brattleboro, Vt., 15 July, 1908 (C. W. Johnson). Type in Boston Society of Natural History. MELANETfRIUS I'VFERNALIS FALL, 1907.
Terapus mnizechi Mars. 1862.
(12th paper on Histerida).
Dr. W. M. Wheeler had the kindness to send me one of the. examples of Melanet~rius infernalis Fall, taken by him on Dec. 1st 1910, near Pasadena in nests of the ant Pheidole hgatti Emery. The figure given by Wheeler in PSYCHE, XVIII, 3, p. 113 is good, as Mr. H. C. Fall has written to me.
This beetle, and also most of the details of the figure agree exactly with the description and the figures given by Marseul of Terapus mnizechi of Mexico (Supplement 6 la Monographic des Histerides, Ann. Soc. Ent. France p. 682; Plate X (7), genre XLV, fig. 1, a-c).
