SEVERAL NEW SPECIES OF ENDOMYCHIDS (COLE- 
OPTERA) FROM ASIA, AFRICA AND AUSTRALIA 
By H. F. Strohecker 
Kenyon College 
In the summer of 1939 I received from Dr. Hans Sachtleben 
of Deutsches Entomologisches Institut a small lot of endomy- 
chids with the request that I furnish identifications and describe 
any new species which might be represented in the material. 
After the invasion of Poland, I was asked to hold the specimens 
a until after the war.” 
Representatives of four new species of endomychids were in- 
cluded in the lot sent by Sachtleben, all four species of more 
than ordinary interest in that they extend considerably the 
known ranges of the genera to which they belong. Since the 
specimens were sent to me unconditionally, I feel free to de- 
scribe the new species, together with two others from the collec- 
tion already in my possession. The types of all the species de- 
scribed below are in the author’s collection. 
Trycherus vittatus new name. 
In 1939 (p. 120) 1 I gave the name Trycherus maculatus to 
an unusual species from Nigeria. Erno Csiki of the Hungarian 
Museum called my attention to M. Pic’s (1922 p. 9) 2 prior use 
of the name. From Pic’s description it appears certain that two 
species are involved and I propose T. vittatus to replace T. ma- 
culatus Strohecker (not of Pic). 
Indalmus hirsutus n. sp. 
Type, male. Java. 
This Indalmus has the general aspect of a species of Pedanus 
Gerstaecker) but the character of its mandibles demands the 
generic placement given it here. 
Head deep red, coarsely and sparsely punctured, with a broad 
and shallow longitudinal impression along the base of antenna.
