A few examples of this species, not previously recorded 

 correctly as British, were taken during the past antumn by 

 Mr. R. Lawson, near Scarborough, under fir bark ; and I 

 am indebted to that gentlemen for the only exponents that I 

 have seen of it. 



XyUchinus, separated from Carphohorus by Chapuis for 

 the reception of this insect alone, has a 5-jointed faniculus, the 

 3rd joint of the tarsi simply cordate, and the mentura cordi- 

 form. 



X. inlosus has the suture of its elytra more or less evi- 

 dently clothed with greyish pubescence : superficially, it 

 somewhat resembles Hylastes ohscurus, and, more closely, 

 PohjgrapJms puhescens ; from both of which its generic cha- 

 racters will amply distinguish it at once. Compared with 

 the old pilosus of our Catalogues (Jiederce, Schmidt), apart 

 from its 5-jointed funiculus and not bi-lobed 3rd tarsal joint, 

 it is darker, more elongate, with a longer and narrower thorax, 

 on which the squamiforra pubescence forms an evident dorsal 

 ridge, the elytra less abruptly rounded behind, with the punc- 

 tures of the strife less clearly defined, and the interstitial 

 setas not so stout or long, the anterior tibiae more triangularly 

 dilated, and with only 2 or 3 teeth at the apex, the antenns 

 stouter and shorter, &c.
