dead,  in  the  dried  i)ark  at  the  b-.se  of  a  large  dead  tree,  in  February.  The 
beetles  had  evidently  been  de;id  sometime  and  were  brittle,  so  that  niany  are 
in  poor  condition.  Mr.  Johansen  considers  these  beetles  the  primary  cause 
of  the  death  of  the  tree.  It  a|)pears  that  some  agency,  probably  abnormal 
weather  conditions,  had  killed  the  broods  that  he  found  before  they  emerged 
from  the  bark.

Length,  2-5  mm.;  width,  1  mm.;  colour,  pale  reddi.sh  (immature). 

Dksckihtion-  ov  the  Fkmalk:  The  head  has  the  front  flattened  and  den.sely 
clothed  with  a  brush  of  rather  short  yellow  hairs:  the  antenna>  slender,  the  dub 
longer  than  wide. 

The  ))rono1um  is  slightly  wider  than  long,  with  the  sides  arcuately  narrowed 
from  base  to  apex,  only  feebly  constricted  in  front;  the  front  broadly  rounded; 
the  disc  closely  ami  deeply  but  not  coar.sely  punctured,  the  median  line  verv 
faint :  the  pubescence  very  small,  s<'ale-like,  not  concealing  the  surface. 

The  elytra  are  elongate,  the  sides  subpaiallel,  broadly  rounded  behind; 
the  i)uses  very  strongly  elevated  anil  rugose  as  usual;  the  striie  distinctly  im- 
pressid,  as  wide  as  the  intersi)aces,  the  strial  punctures  coarse  and  lo.selv 
placed:  the  interspaces  convex,  feebly  granulate,  clothed  with  abundant  rather 
slender  pale  scales  which  do  not  entirely  hide  the  surface;  the  declivity  with 
the  1st  interspace  but  little  more  elevated  than  the  2nd  and  oidy  feebly  granulate, 
the  2nd  interspace  convex,  nearly  smooth,  narrower  behind;  the  3rd  interspace

5tii  and  7th  interspaces  united  in  a  rather  broad  curve  slightly  elevated  l)ehimi

ahout  the  hase  of  the  niandililes  and  hetween  the  sections  of  the  eyes;  the  vertex 
and  gena-  with  dense  and  iniiuite  punctulations  anil  a  few  large,  shallow  punc- 
tures, almost  glahrous;  the  eyes  c()nii)letely  divided  and  surrounded  liy  a  narrow

giiialc;  the  antemial  funicle  usually  with  six  segments,  the  pedicel  large,  the 
chih  unsegmented,  suhacute  at  the  tip,  closely  pubescent.  The  prouolum  is 
two-thirds  as  long  as  wide;  the  caudal  margin  suhtruncate,  bisiniiate,  the  sides 
on  caudal  half  straight,  slightly  convergent,  di-eply.  suddenly  constricted  ia 
front  of  the  middle,  front  margin  broadly  arcuate,  feebly  emarginate  at  iniddFe 
line;  closely  finely  granulate-punctate  and  clothed  with  short  scale-like  h;iirs; 
with  a  very  fine  indistinct  median  raised  line. 

The  elytra  are  two  and  one-half  times  as  long  as  wide;  as  wide  as  tlu! 
pronotuni  at  the  hase;  the  buses  in<lividually  moderately  arcuate,  linely  raised 
and  cremdate.  the  stria>  very  faintly  indicated;  the  elytra  closely,  finely  asjierate- 
punctate,  with  a  row  of  coarser  as{)erities  along  each  intersi)ace  and  these 
larger  asperities  confused  and  numerous  towards  the  base  of  the  disc;  the  strial 
ptmctures  with  minute  slender  inconspicuous  si-ta-:  the  numerous  punctures  of 
the  interspaces  with  short,  blunt,  stout,  sc  de-like  hairs,  with  those  from  the 
row  of  co.'ir.ser  asperate  punctures  longer,  i)articularly  towards  and  up  i  the 
declivity  and  on  the  sides;  so  the  pubescence  is  rather  closely  subscale-like, 
with  a  row  of  longer,  lighter  coloured,  stout  hairs  on  each  interspace,  and  the 
finely  asperate  surface  showing  through. 

TuK  >r.\LK. — The  male  has  the  front  convex  above  with  two  small  approx- 
imate tulHMcles  arranged  transversely  on  the  middle  line;  impressed  cephala(l  of 
the  tubcTcles;  the  |)ronotum  usually  shorter,  and  more  deeply  constricted  in 
front. 

\'.Mii.\  iioNs.-  The  size  varies  from  2  mm.  to  3  mm.  in  length.  The  colour 
varies  from  piceous  t.  nearly  hlack.  The  front  of  the  male  has  sometimes 
only  one  frontal  tubercle  and  the  anterior  impression  varies  in  depth.  The 
most  intcr(\stiiig  variation  is  in  the  segmentation  of  the  anteiinal  funicle.  This 
is  tyi)ically  six-segmented,  with  the  second  segment  small  and  the  distal  segm(>iita 
wiiiened.  Not  infrecpicntly  however,  we  find  a  reduction  in  the  nunil)er.  Two 
more  common  conditions  are  with  four  segments  on  the  outer  part  of  the  funicl(^ 
of  which  the  s(>cond  segment  is  partly  (livideil  by  a  deep  suture,  or  with  the 
second  and  third  segments  almost  entirely  fused.  It  is  very  evident  that  the 
segmentation  of  (he  anlenuul  funicle  is  a  vaiiable  chaiactei  in  this  species, 
as  in  other  vllied  species.  This  subject  is  further  referred  to  uiiiler  the  Genua

The  tunnels  of  this  species,  associated  with  those  of  I'Hiioplithornn,  were 
numerous  on  the  exposed  wood  surface  of  dead  standing  trees  and  beneatli 
the  patches  of  bark  which  remained,  particularly  on  th(^  upper  portions  of  tho 
trunk;  luwnbers  of  dead  adults  were  taken  in  the  tiuuiels  beneath  tliese  patches 
of  bark.  On  the  dead  and  dyinp  parts  of  the  living  trees  tliese  FolDyraph us 
and  Fityoiihtlionix  timnels  were  also  found,  but  they  were  not  so  numerous 
here  iis  on  the  old  dead  trees,  and  were  not  found  at  all  in  some  of  the  dyiiiK

Thv.  head  ha.s  the  front  flattened,  the  flat  area  bounded  by  a  semi-circular 
line  behind,  very  densely,  minutely  punctured  and  ilnsely  pubescent  with 
short  yellow  haiis:  the  median  carina  nearly  obsolete  except  the  cephalic  end  which 
forms  a  rather  [)romineiit  carinate  tooth  on  the  epistoma;  the  eyes  rather  finely 
granulate,  deeply  narrowly  emargimite;  the  antennal  club  very  wide,  short

the  first  two  segments  each  distinctly  shoiter  than  either  of  the  last  two;  rather

The  pronolum  is  as  long  as  wide;  very  broadly  rounded  behind,  strongly 
arcuate  on  the  sides  behind;  moderately  constricted  before  the  middle,  broadly 
rounded  on  the  front  margin  which  is  finely  serrate,  the  asperities  slightly 
stronger  at  the  middle;  the  summit  slightly  in  front  of  the  middle  with  a  wicfe
