with a lateral impression almost reaching the middle of the side, the 

 punctures as close but longer than in elongatus, the ground sculpture 

 longitudinally striate. Elytra longer (3.5:2.3) than the thorax, the 

 punctures not so large as on the thorax (coarser than in elongatus), 

 the ground sculpture similar. Abdomen elongate, the first visible 

 tergite rather closely punctured, the second to fifth with numerous 

 more or less oblique fine ridges and irregular puncturation ; ground 

 sculpture coriaceous. Length, 6 mm. 



Type locality. — Formosa, Taihorin. 



Types. — Holotype in my collection, collected by H. Sauter; two 

 paratypes, U.S.N.M. No. 58941.

27. LISPINUS ISOLATUS, new species 



Shining; foreparts red, the head more or less infuscate, abdomen 

 pitchy, the posterior margins of the first five visible tergites and whole 

 of the last rufescent. Antennae red. Legs reddish yellow. In color 

 and lustre much like luzonicus Bernhauer but a little larger, the 

 antennae longer, the thorax longer and less transverse, more punctured 

 and wdth stronger ground sculpture, the punctures and ground sculp- 

 ture of the elytra stronger. Head with small scattered punctures, the 

 ground sculpture distinct, coriaceous. Antennae with the third seg- 

 ment as long as the second, fourth and fifth orbicular, sixth to tenth 

 transverse, differing but little. Thorax transverse (4:3), the sides 

 rounded in front, arcuately retracted behind, feebly bi-impressed at 

 the middle of the base and with a short impression at the posterior 

 angle, narrowly impunctate along the middle and sometimes with a 

 very fine impressed line ; punctures as on the head but rather closer, 

 between the median and lateral impressions with an impunctate area ; 

 the ground sculpture as on the head. Elytra longer (4.5 : 3) than the 

 thorax, the punctures very similar but less close, the ground sculp- 

 ture similar. Abdomen more strongly coriaceous, very sparingly 

 punctured. Length, 3 mm. 



Type locality. — Formosa, Kuraru.
