180 THE BRENTHID^ FROM JAVA. 



The most common species of the genus and generally 

 distributed throughout the Indo-Chinese , Indo-Malayan and 

 Austro-Malayan subregions. 



27. K. scrohicollis Bohem. , in Schönh., Genera et Spec. 

 Curcul. VIII, 2, p. 373. 1844. 



I have in my collection a specimen labelled «Java» , 

 but it is not without doubt that I include it in this list. 

 This species was described from the Phillippine Islands.

I have not seen the last four species which have been 

 indicated from .Java. 



Gen. Schixotrachetus Lacordaire. 



*32. S. hrevicaudatus Lacord., Genera des Coléoptères, 

 VII, p. 455, no. 2. 1866. 



Of this species Mr. J. D. Pasteur has taken five in- 

 dividuals varying in size and one also in the color. They 

 correspond with Lacordaire's description. 



* 33. S. consobrinus Lacord., 1. c. p. 456. 



The four specimens , obtained in Western Java by Mr. J. 

 D. Pasteur and referred by me to this species , differ from 

 Lacordaire's description in having the prothorax without 

 punctures at the sides and the elytra hardly perceptibly 

 punctured and not »parum profunde punctato-striatis" as says 

 Lacordaire. In the present state of our knowledge it seems 

 to me that these differences do not oblige of establishing 

 a new species or variety, because the species of this genus 

 hitherto described show a considerable variation in size, 

 color, punctuation of the thorax and elytra, and, sometimes, 

 transitional forms between the different species.
