Contributions to the biology of some bark beetles of Austria and bordering 

 countries, J. Knotek (Oesterr. Ticricljahisschr. fiir Forstivescn., 1897, No. 2, pp. 136- 

 161, figs. 6; abs. in ZooJ. Centbl., 5 (1S9S), No. 7, pp. 236, 237).— In the first publication 

 the author enumerates 57 species, giving notes on local distribution and on food 

 plants. As new species Mylesinus henscheli and Scohjtus aceris are mentioned, the 

 first of which is similar to H. crenatus. The latter is closely related to S. intricatus 

 of Ratzeberg, which feeds on several maples. The appearance of its work recalls 

 that of S. geoffroyi of Goetze. Several observations are also made on the two little 

 known species Phlocosinus bicolor of Brull (Aubei of Perris), and Scohjtus lavis of 

 Chapuis.
