A single specimen from border of cypress swamp. Known from Illinois and westward. II. Chceridium Lep. 1825. (Gr., "a young ;) This genus contains two small, rounded species resembling Hister in general appearance. They have the under side of thorax transversely carinate and, as in the next three genera, the middle and hind tibice much expanded at apex. By this character they may be readily separated from the small species of Canthon. One of the two has been taken in Indiana. *1728 (5441). Chcebidium histokoides Web., Obs. Ent., 1801, 37.
