Sicus nigricans Krober 



Sieu, ferr^neu. var. „**- Krfber, Ann. Mag. Nat. H«., ear. .1, vol. 4, 



p. 370, 1939. 



This species is similar to S. abdominalis in the shape of the abdomen, 

 but differs in being predominantly dark, particularly on the dorsum 

 of the thorax and second abdominal segment. While it might be 

 considered a dark form of abdominalis, there are no intermediates in 

 this series, and both occur at Kongaus. 



Occemyia nishitapensis Matsumura (Thousand insects of Japan, 

 Additamenta 2, p. 272, 1916) may be this species. 



Material examined: Siberia: Kongaus, August 1923, Cockerell, 



2 females, USNM. Japan: Tsuruga, June 29, Cockerell, 1 male, 

 USNM; Senjogahara, Nikko, Aug. 9, 1953, R. Kano, 2 females, 

 author's collection. 



Sicus fusenensis Ouchi 



Sictis fusenensis Ouchi, Journ. Shanghai Sci. Inst., sec. 3, vol. 4 (1939), p. 209, 

 1940. 



This species is otherwise known only from the type female from 

 Northern Korea. It is very similar to S. jerrugineus, and although 

 I the abdomen is not quite as elongated as jerrugineus, the third ab- 

 dominal segment is much longer than wide. 



The male is unknown, but will probably prove to be very similar 

 to, if not indistinguishable from the male of jerrugineus. I have not 

 seen any specimens of jerrugineus from Asia, and it is possible that 

 such records may belong to jusenensis. 



Material examined: China-Tibet border: Yu-Long-Gong, 14,000
