NOTE IV. 



REMARKS ABOUT CERTAIN SPECIES OE THE 

 ANTHRIBID GENUS XYLINADES, LATR. 



BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



1. Xylinades aiffinis Chevrol. in litt., judging from a ty- 

 pical specimen received from Mr. Chevrolat, is not a va- 

 riety of Xylinades Westermanni Schönh., but identical with 

 Dej can's Xylinades marmoratus , described by Mr. Roelofs 

 in the Notes from the Ley den Museum. Vol. II (1880), 

 p. 237. 



2. Xylinades Chevrolatii Dej. Cat. (ed. 3^, p. 259) is 

 easily distinguished from Xylinades Westermanni Schönh. 

 by a deep and well-defined more or less tricuspidate or 

 crown-shaped impression on the middle of the pronotum , 

 a little before the ante-basal keel (which inter alia is inter- 

 rupted in the middle) , and by the narrower and more elon- 

 gate antennal club. 



3. Xylinades lanugicornis Dalm. (Schönherr , Gen. et Spec. 

 Cure. I, p. 180, n'^. 3) is erroneously written lanuginosus 

 by Schönherr {I.e. V, p. 236, n". 6), by Lacordaire {Ge- 

 nera des Coléoptères. VII, p. 563, note) and by Gemmin- 

 ger and von Harold ( Catalogus Coleopterorum synon. et sys- 

 tem. IX, p. 2740). 



4. Xylinades Pertyi Fahrs. (Schönherr, Gen. et Spec, Cure. 

 V , p. 232 , n". 1) = Xylinades atricornis Labram and Imhoflf
