Additions to the author’s Monographic Essay. The fact of collectors 
sending Cryphalus and Crypturgus to be named, among their specimens 
of Cis, is considered an argument in favour of the intercalation of the 
Cioides between the Scolytides and Tomicides. To obtain many examples 
of any species observed, it is recommended that the fungi in or near 
which these are found should be collected and kept until the enclosed 
larvae come to maturity. Cis fagi, Waltl, = castaneus, Mell. ; Cis niti- 
dulus, Mell., = Ceracis castaneipennis,M.Q\\., and is doubtfully European ; 
Cis glabratus, $ , observed with thorax bidentate in front ; C. peyronis 
Ab., = striatulus, Mell., monstr.
