XXIV. Supplementary Notes on the Scolytidee of Japan, 
with a list of species. By Watrer F. H. Branp- 
FORD, M.A., F.Z.S. 
[Read October 3rd, 1894.] 
THE purport of these notes is to complete my previous 
papers on the Scolyto-platypini and on the Scolytide of 
Japan by the rectification of ene or two errors which 
have crept in, by the addition of three new species which 
have since come to hand, and by the publication, for 
convenient reference, of a list of Japanese Scolytide. 
In my paper on the Scolyto-platypint (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. 1893, p. 425) on p. 430, fourth line above the 
foot-note, for “ anterior”’ read “ posterior femora”; on 
p. 431, thirteenth line, a semicolon should follow the 
word “ remote.” 
In my paper on the Scolytide of Japan (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. 1594, p. 53) on p. 103, last line, for “ separate ”’ 
read ‘‘ asperate.” 
The following species should come after Xyleborus 
brevis, on p. 104 :—
