176 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Ootypes ami other specimens of some of the foreign species 

 have been received recently by the National Museum from the 

 British Museum, through the kindness of Mr. Arrow, and from 

 Mr. H. Gebien and M. Rene Oberthiir. as follows:

Gen. nov.? Brunnei Borneo. Two damaged specimens of an incon- 

 spicuous form looking like a robust Cioid but having one of the mandibles 

 bifid so as to receive the point of the other, and having 11-jointed antennae 

 with 5-jointed club preceded by 4 small joints, were sent by M. Rene Ober- 

 thiir. but the material is insufficient for dissection and careful study. 

 Superficially they appear to form an interesting connecting link between 

 the Cioid;v and Rhipidaudrini. which well deserves closer examination. 



A number of references to members of this group have been 

 omitted from the former chronological bibliography. The follow- 

 ing max be added to the list : 



1S33. DEJEAX i^Cat. Coleop.. p. 201^ lists Xylobor us costatus Dej. from 

 Buenos Ayres. not far from Elcdona in the series he calls "Taxi- 

 comes" most of which are now included in the Tenebrionidae. 

 This species has never been described and the genus was invalid 

 until used by Motschulsky in 1S5S. Among the Xylophages 

 (.Ipida)' 1 (I.e., p. 306) Dejean has placed Eutonnts niicrographus 

 Lacordaire. which remained a nomcn nuduni until validated by 

 Lacordaire in 1S66. 



1S37. DEJEAX (.Cat. Coleop., p. 222 and 306) same as in 1S33. 



1SS6. CHAMPION (Biol. Cent. Amer. Coleop., vol. iv. pt. 1. p. 223) excludes 

 "Eutomus Lac. (Rhipidandrus Lee.)" from the Bolitophagides 

 on account of the 4-jointed tarsi, and antennal structure. 



1S05. BLAXDFORD (Biol. Centr-Anier. Coleop., vol. iv. pt. 6. p. 118) refers 

 to the exclusion of the Eutomides from the Scolytida? and assign- 

 ment to the vicinity of Ci's. 



1911. TREDL AND KLEIXE (Uebersieht liber die Gesamtliterature der 

 Borkenkafer, Beilage zu den Eut. Bliittern. 7 Jrg.. p. 45) wrongly 

 include Xylcborus crcnipcnnis, under the Scolytids described by 

 Motschulsky.
