CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBFAMILY CRYPHALINE. | 69 
The name X.sayi is applied to the species because there is a specimen in the Harris 
collection, under his No. 1254, labeled ‘‘Scolytus pyri Peck (unique and det. by Say)’ 
and referred to in Harris’s MSS. notes as ‘‘Scolytus pyri Peck good, but not Scolytus, 
rather Bostrichus or ? true Tomicus—Worchester Dr. Funk.’’ There is also a specimen 
in the Harris collection of X. minor Swain., labeled ‘‘Scolytus pyri Peck.”’ 
Anisandrus obesus Leconte. 
This is undoubtedly a good species: There are large series of both sexes in the 
collection, which have been compared with the type in LeConte’s collection. 
LeConte’s failure to mention the teeth on the lateral margin of the declivity has pre- 
vented its recognition. X. serratus Swain. is evidently synonymous with X. obesus 
Lec. 
Anisandrus pyri Peck. 
After detailed study of a large series of specimens from North America and 
Europe it seems that we must consider pyri a good species. The females are scarcely 
to be distinguished by any constant character, but the males of pyri are at once distin-. 
guished, those of dispar being larger, the strie more deeply impressed, and the inter- 
spaces with more or less regular rows of small punctures. The epistoma of the 
female mounted in balsam shows striking differences—that of dispar being emarginate 
in the middle while that of pyri is sinuate.
