 Taken by Drs. Sharp and Buchanan White at Braemar 

 in June last. 



Very closely allied to II. piniperda, hut usually some- 

 ■svhat smaller, and with brown elytra, which are more deli- 

 cately punctate-striate, with the interstices more closely 

 punctulate, and the secojid interstice set \Yith roughened 

 elevated tubercles like the rest; the 1st denticle on the ex- 

 terior of the hinder tibiae is placed in the middle of the tibia, 

 and the 2nd is far removed from the apex.

 The above correction in the nomenclature of a somewhat 

 rare British insect speaks for itself. 



Chapuis has formed the genus Ciswpliagus to contain this 

 species, distinguished by the 6-jointed funiculus of its 

 anteniis, the distinctly bi-lobed 3rd joint of its tarsi, and by 

 its mentum being rotundate-ovate at the base. Schmidt 

 evidently counted the scape as part of the funiculus, when 

 terming the latter 7-jointed.
