■with the views of Lacordaire, and in which he recognizes 22 
genera, 6 of which are new. These genera (tabulated pp. 4 & 5) 
are as follows : — 
Cnjpturgus (Erichs.), 3 sp., 1 new ; Hypothenemus (Westw.), 1 sp. ; ^p 7 ?rt- 
narihrum (Well.) ; Triotemnus (Woll.) ; Liparthrum (Woll.) 5 Trypoden- 
dron (Steph.), 2 sp.; Xyloteres (Erichs.),! sp. ; Cryphalus (Erichs.), with 
Ernophoms (Thoms.) as a suhgenus, 10 sp.> 4 new; Hypohorus (Erichs.), 
4 sp., 1 new ; Xylehorus (Eichh.), 8 sp. ; Dryoccetes (Eichh.), 10 sp. ; Pity- 
ophthorus (Eichh.), 6 sp. ; Thamnurgm (Eichh.), 3 sp. ; Tomicus (Latr.), 
8 sp., under 3 subgenera, CumatotomicuSf Cyrtotomicus^ and Onthotomicus 
(Ferr.) founded on differences in the antennal club; AmpUoranus (Erichs.) ; 
Corthylus (Erichs.), 10 now exotic species, under the subgonera Corthytus^ 
MicrocoHhylm^ and Pseudocorthylus ; and 0 new genera. The genus Phloso- 
trogus (Motsch.) is placed, with a number of species (chiefly exotic) 
described by various authors, as incertce sedis. A supplement contains de- 
scriptions of two or three new species, and notes on some of those referred to 
in the body of the memoir, concluding with a systematic catalogue of the 
recognized European species. 
Feuraiu (Ool.Hefto,ii. pp. 104-116) has the following remarks upon genera 
and species belonging to this group : — Monarthrum (Kirsch) is not sulRciently 
characterized to allow of its identification with any of the genera accepted 
by Ferrari ; it probably = Corthjhis (Erichs.) ; Crypturgus numidicus (Ferr.) 
has been regarded by Eichhoft’ as = cinermis, but Ferrari believes it is dis- 
tinct ; Cryphalus ahietis (Ratz.) and tilicB (Gy 11.) are considered by the author 
to be identical ; the male of Dryoccetes autographus (Ratz.) is unknown, which 
necessitates an alteration in the table of genera, at p. 27 ; the descriptions 
of Postrtchus dupUcatus, ocylographuSf and iachjgraphus (Sahib.) are reprinted 
by the author (t, c. pp. 108-110); P. dupUcatus— Cyrtotomicus rectangulus 
(Eichh.) ; B. xylographus probably = B. {Pityographus) exsculptus (Ratz.) ; 
and B. tachygraphus seems to be most nearly allied to Xylehoms pfeili 
(Ratz.). The paper concludes "with a list of errata, and with a corrected 
list of the species of Tomicides recognized by the author. 
Ferrari remarks (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1867, p. 405) that he has omitted the 
genus Monarthrum (Kirsch) in his work on the Tomicides, but that from the 
characters given it is impossible to say whether this genus coincides with 
one of those proposed by him, especially with Cosmocorynus $ . The name 
Monarthrum should, he thinks, be changed, as it refers to a character com- 
mon to several genera. 
Xyloterus. A. Puton (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. vii. pp. 631-634), in no- 
ticing the occurrence of Xyloterus quercus (Eichh.) in France, tabulates and 
describes the 3 known species of the genus. 
Eichhopf characterizes Cryphalus cincreus(}l(irh^{) and C. pusillus (Oyll.), 
and remarks that he is not convinced. that C. numidicus (Ferr.) is distinct 
from the former. Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1867, p. 404. 
Tomicus dispar (Fab.) is figured as British by Rye, Ent. Ann. 1868, Front, 
figs7&8(c?$). 
Janson notices the deficiency of cl* c? of Tomicus villosus although $ 2 
abundant. Proc. Ent. Soc. 1867, p. xci. 
According to Rye (Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 260) Xyloterus quercus (Eichh.) is 
identical with Bostrichus waringii (Curt.)
