One specimen, agreeing^ sufficiently well with M. minuta to be 

 included provisionally in the same genus ; the general shape, however, 

 is more like that of Orchesia, and the antennal club is less pronounced. 

 There is no trace of a sutural stria. 



Ledeeia Eeitt. 



? Sianropus Fairniaire et Germain, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1863. 

 p. 227 {nee Germar, 1812). 



To judge from the description, Stauropus F. and G., type 8. ovi- 

 formis F. and G., from Chile, must be very closely related to, if not 

 identical with, Lederia Eeitt., type L. suramensis Reitt., from the 

 Caucasus, the diiferftnce of locality notwithstanding. The Japanese 

 insects referred by Lewis and Seidlitz to Micro^cauha would be better 

 placed here. Eucinetomorphus Ferris, including two or three species 

 from Spain and Algeria, is separated irom Lederia by Seidlitz mainly 

 on account of the connate metathoracic episterna and posterior coxae, 

 and the incompletely margined prothorax. 



1. — Lederia arctica. 



Microscapha (Crioscapha) arctica Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, xx, 

 p. 144 (1893). Euscapihurus saltator Keen, Canad. ' Entom., 1895, 

 p. 220 {nee Casey, in error). 



The types of this species were from Foi't Wrangel, Alaska. 

 Numerous examples in the Museum from Massett, Queen Charlotte 

 Island, received from the Rev. J. H. Keen, evidently belong to the 

 same species. They differ from M. clavicornis (and M. minv.ta) in 

 having no visible scutellum, the base of the prothorax simply arcuate, 

 the elytra more distinctly punctate, and the eyes coarsely granulate. 

 The Massett specimens, too, have the metathoi'acic episterna broad, 

 parallel- sided, and fused posteriorly with the metasterniim, and the 

 posterior coxae so much widened outwards as to appear triangular. 



DiRCAEINA. 



Anisoxya Muls. 

 1. — Anisoxya conicicollis, n. sp. 



Ftxsiform, convex, moderately shining; piceotis or brown, the antennae 

 testaceous at the base ; densely, finely jjunctate, clothed with rather long, 

 adpressed, greyish pubescence. Antennae with joint 3 triangular, 4-10 sub- 

 equal in length, broader than long, 11 short-ovate. Prothorax broader than 

 long, rapidly narrowed from near the base, unimpressed, completely margined 

 at the sides. Elytra narrowed from a little below the base. Intermediate legs 

 elongated in ? . Anterior tarsi slender, very slightly widened in ^ . Length 

 2^3, breadth 1-1} mm.
