NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1868. 51 



I subjoin a diagnosis of the species, which is tolerably fully- 

 described by me, loc. sup. cit. 



OblonguSf fere cylindricus, nigro-piceuSj elytris diluti- 



oribus, antennis pedibusque ferrugineis, pilis tenuibus, 



pallid'is, sparsisj postice magis conspicuis seriatimque 



dispositis, vestitus; thorace {prceter lineam mediam 



basalem nitidam) opaco, granulis iransversis, basim 



haud punctatum versus gradalim evanescentibusj in- 



structo, pone medium haud transversim impresso; 



elytris nitidulis, parallelis, for titer crebreque punctata- 



striatis, inter stitiis etiam punctulis multo minus crebre 



seriatim impressis; apice muticiSj sat abrupte rotun- 



datisj vix visibiliter retusis. 



Long. Corp. § lin. — IJ lin. (^Anglic). 



The insect, which is about equal to T. bidens in its average 



size, is, compared with bicolor, less hairy, narrower, with 



the thorax behind not so shining, and granulated instead of 



punctured, wanting also the obsolete transverse depression 



behind the middle, and with the elytra not nearly so evidently 



flattened behind at the apex.

 1855, 78 ; Ratzeburg, Die Waldverderbniss, Bd. 2, 

 1868, Col, Taf. i, 14, p. 382; E. C. Rye, '' The 

 Naturalist's Note Book," vol. ii, p. 160. 



I have incidentally noticed the occurrence near Darenth 

 Wood of a Tomicus like a very small narrow female of bi- 

 spinuSf which I believe is to be attributed to the above 

 species. Dr. Sharp and I took a few specimens in the 

 beginning of June, 1864, by beating the hedges near the 

 " Fox."
