2. Litocerus paviei Lesne (1891). 

 1 (J from Fuhoslio. 



3. Litocerus sticticus Jnrd. (1904). 



1 c? from Fuliosho and 1 ? from Kosempo. 



Origiaally described from a single c? from Tonkin. The Formosan c? agrees 

 well with the type, with the excej)tion of the antenna, whose clnb is slenderer than 

 in the type and shorter, segments 9 and 10 not being longer than 8. In the ? from 

 Formosa 8 is much shorter than 9. 



4. Litocerus dysallus spec. nov. 



S % ■ L. stictico minor, macnlis magis numerosis, elytris profundius striatis, 

 tibiis griseo biannnlatis, 3 segmento 1° abdomiuali sine tnberculo. 



Long. (cap. excl.) 5-5 — 6 mm. 



3 c?<J, 2 ? ? from Hoozan. 



Above blackish brown, with yellowish grey markings. Frous anteriorly in S 

 narrower and in ? rather wider than the diameter of the first antennal segment. 

 Segment 3 of antenna nearly half as long again as 4, this abont as long as 9, 8 in 

 i one-third and in ? oue-half shorter than 9, 10 shorter and 11a little longer 

 than 9. 



The basal median spot of the pronotnm continued forward to the transverse 

 groove by a thin line, to which is joined at the carina a transverse line that extends 

 to one-third the way between central line and sides, its ends projecting ublinnely 

 forward and outward, lateral carina bordered with yellowish grey, dorsal spots 

 otherwise as in L. sticticus, punctaration distinct. 



On the elytra a spot at basal third of interspaces 5 and 6 and another behind 

 middle of 2, 3 and 4, as well as the spots at the lateral margin, larger than in 

 L. sticticus ; on the other hand, the rounded spot in middle of interspaces 7 and 8 

 of L. sticticus replaced in di/saUus by a thin line or spot situated in stripe 7. 



Upperside of tibiae grey at basal third and near a{)ex. 



5. Litocerus bicuspis spec. nov. 



c?. Niger, supra cinereo maculatus, snbtus totns cinerens. Rostro ad basin sub- 

 cylindrico, quinque-carinato. Antennarum articulis 3'° — 8° clava distineta compressa 

 mnlto gracilioribns, 9" — 11° inter se snbaequalibns, 8" dnplo longioribns. Pronoto 

 pnnctato, carinae angnlo laterali fere recto apice rotnndato. Abdominis segmentis 

 1" et 2° penicillo flavescente mediaiio instrnctis. Tibiis griseo biannnlatis. 



Long. (cap. excl.) 6'5 mm. 



3 J c? from Fuhosho and Hoozan. 



Head and rostrum cinereous, the central area of the occiput black, triangular, 

 penetrating in between the eyes. The frons narrowing anteriorly, being here one- 

 third narrower than the interspaces between the dorsal carinae of the rostrum. The 

 latter basally thicker than usually, distinctly porrect, with the antennal grooves 

 nearer the apex than the base. Segment 3 of the antenna nearly half as long again 

 as 4, 4 to 6 slightly decreasing in length, 7 as long as 6 and longer than 8, which 

 is half as long as 9 (= 10 = 11). 



Pronotnm punctate ; between transverse groove and basal edge a median spot 

 which is anteriorly trii)artite, preceded by an apical ovate spot, an isolated small
