94. Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford on the 
rounded ; surface subcylindrical, obliquely declivous behind, with 
rows of shallow punctures, their interspaces rugose, sutural stria 
alone slightly impressed, interstices rather narrow with series of 
setigerous tubercles ; apex flattened, shining, impressed on either 
side of suture with the stris continued on it; first interstice 
widened. Underside piceous-black, nearly glabrous, first abdo- 
minal segment impunctate in middle, succeeding segments with 
a few very coarse punctures. Legs piceous, anterior tibiz 
rounded, with six or seven outwardly directed spines on outer 
margin, and a curved one at inner angle of apex ; middle tibix 
with a close series of six forwardly directed spines at apex. 
In sculpture this insect is exactly like the one I have 
identified as Coccotrypes graniceps, Kichh. (q.v.), but 
may be distinguished by its cylindrical shape and the 
structure of the tibiz. 
Dryocetes luteus, sp. n. 
Oblongus, subnitidus, flavo-testaceus, parce et breviter pilosus ; 
prothorace oblonge, lateribus postice subparallelis, antice fortiter 
rotundatis, anterius subtiliter exasperato, posterius dense punctato; 
elytris profunde striato-punctatis, stria suturali impressa, inter- 
stitiis subtiliter uniseriatim punctatis in declivitate tuberculatis, 
Long. 2 mm. 
Fem. Fronte densius pilosa. 
Nine specimens, without locality indicated. 
Bright yellow-testaceous, with short scanty pubescence on sides 
of thorax and apex only of elytra. Head strongly punctured, 
with front convex, scantily hairy in male, and ciliate over mouth; 
in female* with a circular tuft of yellow pubescence. Eyes broad 
oval, coarsely granulate, and emarginate anteriorly. Antenne 
testaceous with sutures slightly curved. Prothorax longer than 
broad, with base truncate, its angles obtuse, sides nearly parallel 
to middle, thence strongly rounded to apex; above moderately 
convex, not gibbous, with close punctures, simple at base, and as- 
perate over anterior two-thirds. Scutellum rounded, shining. Elytra 
as wide as prothorax and one-half longer, base truncate, humeral 
angles rectangular, sides parallel to apex, then abruptly flexed, 
their apical margin being almost transverse when seen from above ; 
** Tt would appear that in the J’omicé the possession of a villous 
front is a mark of the female sex, see Eichh., Eur. Bork., p. 203, It 
is not so in the genus Scolytus, and others.
