In the weakness of the elytral stria and the length 
of the pubescence this species is allied to T'rypodendron 
politum, Say (unicolor, Hichh.), from N. America, which 
I have not seen. It has no trace of a suture on 
the antennal club, nor is it especially narrow, both 
points being characteristic of J’. politum (Lec. Rhyne. 
N. Am., pp. 357, 358). It differs from Hichhoff’s 
description of 7’, wiicolor, in being not elongate, in the 
absence of a transverse elevated line on the prothorax, 
which is constricted in front, and in the elytra being not 
unicolorous.

I have nothing to add to my account of these insects 
(Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1893, pp. 425—442). 
The following species is new, and should be placed 
after S. tycon. 
Scolyto-platypus shogun, sp. n. 
Oblongo-cylindricus, fere glaber, niger vel piceus, antennis pedi- 
busque ferrugineo-piceis ; prothorace transverso, subopaco, parce 
et subtiliter punctulato; elytris ante declivitatem haud striatis 
irregulariter punctatis, declivitate striata, interstitiis convexis 
seriatim tuberculatis. Long. 3°5 mm. 
Mas. Fronte excavata, opaca, pilis fulvis ciliatis circumdata, 
antennarum scapo fortiter clavato, funiculo brevi, flexili, clava 
elongata acuminata, ad apicem ciliata. 
Several examples, probably taken at Higo. 
Intermediate between S. tycon and daimio, and closely 
resembling dark specimens of the former in shape and 
size, but the elytra show no trace of striz, and are not 
pubescent at the apex. Male with head deeply excavate, 
dull with a thick marginal fringe of coarse hairs, antennze
