ZOOLOGICAL LITEllATUllE. 
when he wrote his memoir on these insects : — 1. Bostrichus sidneyanus 
(Nordl.) is a Cryphalus, and Ferrari gives its detailed diagnosis (I, c. p. 252) ) 
2. Bostr. plumerice (Nordl.) is also a Cipphalus and belongs to the suhgenus 
Ernophorus) 3. Bostr. hondurensis (Nordl.) is founded upon a damaged 
specimen made up of portions of two species — the abdomen probably belonged 
to the $ of a species of Xylehorus, and the thoracic part to a true Tomicus j 
4. Tomicus nohilis (Well.) belongs to the subgenus Cyrtotomicus and is pro- 
bably a large local form of T. duplicatus (Sahib.) j 5. Aphanarthrum juhce^ 
canariense, and euphorhicB (Woll.) appeared to Ferrari to have the flagellum 
2-jointed; ^^indistinctly 3-jointedj” 6. Liparthrum hitubercula- 
tunif var. /3 (Woll.), has the flagellum 4-jointed and the club triannulate j 7. 
Crypturgus concolor (Woll.) may be a local form of C. pusillus (Gyll.). 
Feurahi remarks as follows {1. c. pp. 256-256) upon genera and species 
noticed in his above-mentioned work : — 1. Aphanarthrum should follow 
Cryphalus] 2. Bostrichus rujicollis {Ydb.) = IIypothenemus eruditus] 3. Xylo~ 
terus (Er.) and Trypodendron (Steph.) should be combined, as Eichhoff has 
described intermediate forms from America; 4. Cryphalus fagi (Dobn.) = 
Ernophorus fagi {Thorns.), consequently Ernophorus tho?nso?ii (Ferr.) = E.fagi 
(Nordl.), and Cryphalus fagi must he cancelled; 6. The position of Bostr. 
chalcographus and hidens in the genus Pityophthorus is doubtful, but Eich- 
hoff’s reference of them to Tomicus is less admissible ; 6. For Onthotomicus 
read Orthotomicus. Ferrari concludes (1. c. pp. 257-258) with some remarks 
on criticisms of his memoir. 
Doebner remarks (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1868, p. 368) that Ch'yphalus thomsotii 
(Ferr.) is identical with C. fagi (Nordl.). 
Eichhoff (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1868, p. 274) describes Tomicus interruptus 
(Mann.) and T. tridens (Mann.). 
Figures of Hylurgus terebrans and Tomicus xylographus are given in Amer. 
Natural, ii. p. 165, figs. 3 5. 
A species of Tomicus has been found by Bidie in coffee-plantations in 
Southern India. It does considerable mischief by boring the young fruit- 
hearing wood. Proc. Ent. Soc. Bond. 1868, p. 29. 
T. A. Chapman notices the habits of some species of Hylesimis. Ent. M. 
Mag. iv. p. 231, v. pp. 20 & 120-123. 
Morley records (Ent. M. Mag. iv. p. 187) the capture near Manchester of 
a species which he supposed to be Dryocoetes villosus. Rye regards the insect 
as Ips fuscus (Marsh.), which has been unknown since its original description 
(/. c.pp. 187-189). Rye also states that Tomicus Jlavus (^Tlkin) is repre- 
sented in Stephens’s Cabinet by an immature specimen of T. dryographus {1. c. 
p. 189).
