Ke AATZ also adds several species to the list of German species (1. c. pp. 324- 
330) and remarks upon the characters and distribution of these and others. 
The new German species are 8 in number, namely : — pectinicm'nis (Linn.) 
—scutellaris (Fab.), pallidicornis (Sch.), hrachialis (Sch.), troglodytes (Sch.), 
pusillus steveni (Sch,)=c«naZ^cwZa^^^s (Rey), inisellus (^{ih..') = higut- 
tatus (01.), var., and rniser {^ch.^^foveoldtus (Sch.). This raises the num- 
ber of German species to 34. B.fahrcei (Sch.) probably = var. ; B. 
fulvipermis {(}Qxm.) =.higuttatus (01.); B. longicornis (Bej) = quinquegidtatus 
( 01 .). 
Urodon rnfipcs (Fab.). The metamorphoses of this species are briefly de- 
scribed by Fraiienfeld, Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xviii. p. 160. 
Brucims pisi. Rye notices the characters and habits of this species. Ent. 
M. Mag-. V. p. 20. 
Geinitz notices the occurrence of Bruchus pisi in such numbers as to 
destroy thirty per cent, of the peas in the vicinity of Kotschenbroda (Sit- 
zungsber. Isis, 1867, p. 19). 
Bruchus perczii, sp. n., Kraatz, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1868, p. 321, Madrid ;

Leconte has published (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. pp. 141- 
149) a synopsis of the North-Amcrican species of this family 
prepared by the late C. Zimmermann. A short sketch of Zim- 
niermaim^s systematic view will suffice here. Zimmermann 
denominates the family Hylurgidae, and divides it into 3 tribes, 
namely : — 
I. Bostrtchi, with the tarsi filiform, evidently 6-jointed, and the rostrum 
obsolete, including the genera Blatypus, O-ypturgus, Xyloterus^ and Bostry- 
chus {—Tomicus). 
II. Eccoptogasteues, with joint 3 of tarsi bilobed, the rostrum very short 
and thick, and the ventral segments of the abdomen excavated : genus Eccop- 
togaster. 
III. Hylijbgi, like the preceding, but abdomen cylindrical, including 
Bhloeotribus, Ilylesmus, Dendroctonus, and Ilylurgus. 
The known species described by Zimmermann in this memoir are : — under 
Crypturgvs — Bostr. fasciaius (Say), 7bm. mali (Fitch), and 1\ matcriarhis 
(Fitch); \mdiQX Xylchorus — Scot, pyri (Peck), X. ccisus fuscaiiis 
(Eichh.), Bostr. xylographus (Say), and X ccelatus (Eichh.) ; under Bostri- 
chtis — Tom. avidsus (Eichh.), B. pini (Say), and B. cxesus (Say) ; under 
Bhloeotribus — Scol. frontalis (01iv.)=P. setidosus and (Eichh.), Jlylesi- 
nus acideatus (Say); xm^ex Dc7idroctonus — Carphoborus bifurcus (Eichh.), 
Scol. terebrans (Oliv.), and Bostr. frontalis (Fab.) ; and under Ilylurgus — 
Hylastes tenuis (Eichh.).
