2 c? c? and 1 ? from Hoozan and Taihorinsbo. 



The first and eighth segments of the antennae are pale rufous like the bases of 

 the other segments of the shaft and of segment 9. The lateral angle of the pronotal 

 carina is a little more than 90°. The markings of the elytra are as follows : behind 

 the base a narrow transverse band composed of two half-rings open in front, 

 together resembling the figure 3 and extending from the first stripe (the first basal 

 sutural interspace being cinereous) to the shoulder and then running to the lateral 

 margin below the shoulder ; in the middle a transverse band composed of a sutural 

 spot and a dorsal one on each elytrum, all three rounded-oblong and connected with 

 one another by a narrow bridge, the band thus formed continued laterally to the 

 margin by an oblique anterior branch and a broader obliijue posterior one ; in front 

 of the apex of each elytrum a ring from the side of which aiirojection runs obliquely 

 posticad, a second lateral projection usually connecting the ring anteriorly with the 

 median band.

?. Nigro-brunnens, cinereo pnbescens, supra nigro-brunneo variegatus, signa- 

 turis bene expressis, antennis pedibusque ex parte rufescentibus ; rostro brevi

Long. (cap. excl.) 4-5 mm. 



1 ? from Fuhosho. 



The head and rostrum similar in shape to that of Directaiius and Ormiscus. 



Rostrum very short, depressed, directed down- and backward, grey, apex 

 rufescent. Eyes bordered with grey. Frons about one-fifth the width of the 

 rostrum. Segments 1 and 2 of antenna pale rufous, the others blackish brown, 

 3 one-third longer than 4, 4 to 8 slightly decreasing in length, club moderately 

 broad, 9 = 11, one-third longer than 8, 10 = 8 in length. On pronotum the disc 

 brown, on each side with two projections into the grey lateral area, in front of 

 scutellum a grey spot which is continued forward by an elongate lozenge-shaped 

 spot; angle of carina less than 90°, with the tip rounded, the lateral carina 

 extending to near middle. Elytra with a large brown area extending from the 

 sides to stripe 3 and from the basal callosities to beyond two-thirds, a broad curved 

 bar across the middle of the suture connecting the brown areas of the two elytra, 

 on each elytrum the area encloses a lateral, an antemedian and a postmedian grey 

 spot, the area moreover being produced anad midway between suture and margin 

 and widened on the apical declivity to near suture. Apex of pygidium truncate- 

 rotnndate. Legs without markings.
