 A small series from Fnhosho.

(??. Antennarnm segmentornm 9', 10', ll'latera noii congruentia ; iirotliorax 

 supra et infra minns pnnctatns qnara in //. I. longipes Sharp (1S91). 



Sharp described the species as a Tropideres. The specimens from Formosa 

 agree well with the Japanese examples except in the club of the antennae being 

 asymmetrical, and the punctnres of the prothorax sparse and shallow. The 

 midtibia of the i bears an obtuse apical spur. 



20. Xylinades impressus stibinus subsp. nov. 



c? ?. A', impresso Jord. (1895) similis, sed pronoto rugato-grannlosa, elj-trisqne 

 minutins punctatis. 



A long series of both sexes from Hoozan, Kosempo, and Fuhosho. 



The tawny ochraceous or greyish clay-coloured pubescence is more extended 

 than in true impressus from North India, and the sculpturing of the thorax and 

 elytra is less coarse. The two grooves on the prouotum form a horseshoe, but do 

 not meet anteriorly ; the granules and transverse folds of the pronotum are as high 

 as in impressus rerus, but the grooves between them are less deep and large than 

 in that subspecies. The punctures in the basal half of the elytra are also smaller 

 than in the Indian form, and the interspaces between the punctures of the same row 

 less elevate. The prosternura, moreover, has a shallower transverse groove and is 

 less deeply punctuated. 



The size is very varialde, as in other species, the largest specimen measuring 

 (inclusive of head) 18 mm., and the smallest 9-5 mm.

1 c? and 1 ? from Koserajio and (Uiip Chip. 



The irregularly striated frons this species has in common with A', armafus 

 Jord. (189.j) and A", striatifrons Jord. (1895), both of which have a very coarsely 

 and densely grooved pronotum. Bloreover, the (? -antennae bear in the species 

 mentioned bristles on the underside, and the tenth segment is in S as well as ? 

 nearly as long as the eighth, being at any rate distinctly separate from segments '•• 

 and 11, the club being much slenderer than m jnponicus. The tomentum of the 

 pronotum and elytra oi japonicus is clayish ochraceous and rather dense. The 

 black postmedian band of the elytra reaches from the first line of punctures to 

 the lateral margin and is sinuate anteriorly and posteriorly, being produced anteriorly 

 in the fiftli interspace. The black basal patch common to the two elytra is not 

 interrupted at the scutellum and sutnre or very slightly so. 



The prothorax resembles in shape that of A', marmoratus Koel. (188<i)> ''"^ i** 

 devoid of the lateral longitudiiuil (■hannel iuund in that species, and the apex is
