be called to Platypus plLili-ppinensis, Scolyto-platypus 

 eutomoides, Tomicus ])erexiguus, Xylehonis colossus, X. 

 glolus, X. scahrijyennis, X. arcticollis, and X. spatulatus, 

 all of which present considerable differences from any of 

 their known congeners. 



Crossotarsiis cavifrons, sp. n. 



Mas. Elongatus, badius, elytris apice infuscatis ; froute opaca, 

 medio impressa ; prothorace oblongo, sparsim punctato, punctis in 

 lateribus sulci aggregatis ; elytris punctato-striatis, ad apicem 

 declivibus, pilosis, angulis postero-lateralibus productis, depressione 

 terminali lunata, subtus juxta suturam utrinque dentata. Long. 

 3-6 mm. 



Male, Rather elongate, bright brown, the elytra becoming 

 gradually blackish towards apex. Front opaque, impunctate save 

 towards the vertex, with a median impression, longitudinally 

 sulcate from the vertex to the middle, its sides subcallose opposite 

 the antennal insertion ; vertex irregularly punctate on either side 

 of the median striga and laterally with one or two deep pits. 

 Prothorax a third longer than broad, scantily and irregularly 

 punctate, with a series of deep points along the apical margin, 

 impunctate over the median area anterior to the long and fine 

 sulcus, which has one or two lines of aggregated but not pore-like 

 punctures on either side of its anterior half. Elytra punctate- 

 striate, the striae impressed as usual at the base, interstices flat 

 throughout, the first and alternate interstices with au irregular 

 single series of finer punctures from the base, the others im- 

 punctate ; apical fourth gradually declivous, convex, coarsely and 

 irregularly punctate and shortly setose, not striate or granulate ; 

 postero-lateral angles produced downwards and backwards, acute, 

 terminal impression lunate, concave, its lower margin with a tooth 

 on each side external to the apex of the suture. 



Eah. Gilolo (Wallace). 



Two examples. Although the PlatypodinaB collected 

 by Wallace were described by Chapuis, the present form 

 appears, for some reason, to have been overlooked ; all 

 my other specimens from the Wilson Saunders collection 

 have passed through Chapuis's hands and bear his labels. 



It is quite probable that the species here described is 

 no more than the other sex of G. indomitus, Chap., taken 

 by Wallace in the neighbouring island of Morty. What
