Notes on Platypodidée and Scolytide. 25 
H. 701. The genus Rosa, on which this should have pro- 
duced galls, is well known from the Miocene of Florissant, 
and doubtless existed much earlier. More dubious fossils 
ascribed to Rosa (R. lignitum, Heer, R. dubia, Weber, 
RR, nausicaés, Weber) have been described from the Oligocene 
of Europe. 
Pteromalide. 
Pteromalus (?) vectensis, sp.n. (Fig. 32.) 
Head, thorax, and abdomen deep black as preserved ; 
length about 2°3 mm.; anterior wing about 18 mm. long, 
broad, pale brown, with dark fuscous or black stigmatic 
vein, which is shorter than in the Florrisant fossil P. exa- 
nimis, Brues.

Il.—Further Notes on Platypodidee and Scolytide collected 
by Mr. G. EL. Bryant and others. By Lt.-Col. Winn 
Sampson, F'.E.S. ; 
In my previous paper, published in this Magazine (Sept. 
1919), the following corrections are necessary, viz.:—On 
‘page 105 the last two lines should be deleted, as also the last 
tive lines on page 110 and the first three lines on page 111. 
Lhe following should be added to the description of Cry- 
phalus corpulentus:—LThe apex of the seventh abdominal 
segment in the @ is provided with three pointed teeth, the 
centre one shorter than the other two. 
This species resembles Stephanorhopalus nulodori, Hopk., 
but has only three abdominal teeth, and the antennal club 
is distinctly sutured ; it may, however, have to be removed 
into that genus. 
Family Platypodida. 
Genus PLatypus, Chap. 
Platypus secretus, sp. n. 
3. Brown. Front almost flat and subopaque, rugose, with 
longitudinal ridges and a short, central, narrow depression, 
densely hairy towards the vertex, a transverse row of yellow 
hairs over the mouth ; the antenne inserted close to the ante-= 
rior edge of the eyes.
