are more easily seen on the declivity; the striz consist of a 
shiny surface, interrupted transversely at short intervals and 
giving the appearance of a chain; the elytral basal edge 
rugose and recurved; the seventh and eighth interstices 
coalesce before reaching the base of the elytra, whereas the 
fourth, fifth, and sixth coalesce before reaching the apex ; 
viewed dorsally the ninth interstices show several tubercles 
from the apex to half-way up the sides.

It appears that Mr. Blandford’s name is preoecupied in the 
family Passalidee of the Lamellicornia, and therefore Strophio- 
nocerus is suggested in place of it. 
Scolytoplatypus (subgen. Strophionocerus) parvus, sp. n. 
3. Short, oblong, very pale (immature?) ; prothorax and 
elytral declivity subopaque. Front deeply concave to the 
eyes, which are long and narrow ; the vertex provided with 
two small fasciculi of longish hairs, curved downwards over 
the front and reaching half-way to the mandibles 3 four tufts 
of very long hairs, originating one above and the other below 
each eye, extend in an arch transversely over the frontal 
cavity, which is dull and minutely pubescent; the antennal 
club elongate, subtriangular, solid, and coarsely hairy.e Pro- 
thorax slightly broader than long, with rounded sides which 
are constricted for the basal third; the surface dull and 
finely punctured laterally, with a median longitudinal line 
extending from near the apex to the basal third; the apex 
rounded and slightly emarginate in the centre, the base 
bisinuate. Seute/lum minute. Elytra one-sixth longer and 
one-terth broader than the prothorax ; the sides subparallel to 
the apical third and then abruptly rounded to the somewhat 
acute apex; the base sinuate and depressed, the shoulders 
distinctly nodose ; the dorsal surface dull, irregularly and 
obscurely punctured except laterally, where the punctures are 
more distinct ; the declivity commences at the basal third 
and is lineate-punctate; the interstices broad and convex at 
the vertex of the declivity, but becoming obscure on the 
apical half; the three first interstices nearest the suture are
